FORT WORTH, TX—Texas Christian University has been invited to join the Big East athletic conference, an opportunity that would grant them higher visibility and prestige, as long as they "bring some of those hot Texas girls along," Commissioner John Marinatto said Monday. "We are happy to welcome the Horned Frogs to the Big East, as they represent a fine sporting tradition, and also we could really use some new girls around here," Marinatto told the assembled reporters at a press conference. "Boston College had those cute little Catholic girls, but they left when the Eagles went to the ACC, and we could really use some nice Texas-cowgirl trim. Frankly, West Virginia doesn't give it up as much as you'd think, even though they'll do just about anything once you get them liquored up." TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte said he was happy to hook the Big East up, explaining that the conference's automatic BCS bowl bid was more than compensation for Syracuse girls being "totally flat."
hahaha
Very funny, but on a serious note how does The Onion get away with such blatant lies and attributing quotes to people? I suppose I just answered my question...the fact that the quotes are so absurd and unbelievable renders them clearly untrue and not libel. Is that it?
All that said, nice to know there is at least one positive contribution to TCU's joining up with the BEast.
Did jaybee get a job in the BE talent evaluation department?

The Hustler Magazine vs. Falwell decision says public figures can't recover damages for distress because of parodies.
