I grew up on the internet. Along the way, I became a fan of the Onion. For those that are unfamiliar, the Onion is a hilarious satirical zine that come up with the most outrageous stories to garner as many laughs as possible.
While The Onion has been on my radar in 15 years, I saw a recent article about ayahuasca and I had to check it out.
Below is what they wrote…
The Onion’s – “Ayahuasca-Tripping God Underwhelmed To See Himself”IQUITOS, PERU—Disappointed by the limitations of the psychotropic medicine, an ayahuasca-tripping God, Our Lord and Heavenly Father, told reporters Tuesday how underwhelmed He was to see Himself. “I don’t know what I was expecting, but I sort of figured I’d see something more awe-inspiring than the face of Me,” said the Almighty Creator, who asked the shaman in charge of the retreat if there was something wrong with the hallucinogenic tea He had received during the ayahuasca ceremony, eventually realizing that gazing upon His own Divine Form would be the extent of the trip. “I thought maybe I would transcend to a higher plane of existence, but instead I had a vision where I saw all of creation and how everything is connected to everything else—which, I gotta say, felt like pretty run-of-the-mill stuff. What a bust. I could have had the same experience by looking in the mirror, and then I wouldn’t have had to puke.” At press time, God was reportedly panicking after His trip took a bad turn and He suddenly found Himself confronting Lucifer, Prince of Darkness.
Even the image used for the article is strangely hilarious.
We should encourage satire as its quite an entertaining artform. Keep it coming, The Onion!
