The Onion's parody of VICE News is spot-on

I am laughing so hard this morning watching a few episodes of The Onion's EDGE. It's a series of short videos made in the style of VICE News segments. You know the kind -- overly dramatic, a little obvious at times, and venturing into those poor, powerless, and fringe communities you would never have bothered to learn about if it wasn't for them. EDGE is all about that...while also giving commentary to the silly world we live in where we are more obsessed about watching these things unfold rather than doing anything about them.

Here are a few more videos.
