Painfully unfunny.

I thought it was quite humorous.

So did I. I'm going to reuse the SVN joke for my local area, instead of Californians. (We don't get many of those on the eastern sea-board.)

I hate to follow the HN stereotype, but I have to agree with you.

Ahaha really good, although usually one writes more than 4 posts before starting a site like this.

I thought the Google Skynet was funny, and there's potential for a few more jokes there. FYI, we check out at the checkout (first story).

I'd describe these four published so far as moderately funny - slight smile inducing, no LOL, no meh. So keep them coming. The jokes are something that many comedians develop through iterations :)

To be fair, I get a proper LOL from Onion maybe once in 15 days (not counting their videos, which are always hilarious). Onion's stories are always smart though and the satire biting.

Plus, it's always easier to satirize politicians than programmers.

With the Onion, it's always the headlines than nail it, better than the body.

In a way, they've been doing parody tweets since 1988.

Someone made a TechCrunch parody site like this called TrapCrunch[1] a while back as well.

That site is actually funny. Haven't seen any updates in months.

Any idea what happened?
