I've been waiting for The Onion to issue a press release saying they're closing up shop: "It's just too hard. We can't compete with the real news anymore. Nobody can tell the difference."
I just hope this stunt looks just as foolish to everyone in their audience as it does to me....but I'm afraid it won't.
An individual cell of heart muscle will beat. It's kinda what heart muscle does for a living.
