The sad thing is, I thought this was going to be a real article about using machine learning to approve mortgages, and I was disappointed to find it was only The Onion.
We should probably use a prefix, like "humor: " for similar posts to identify them, and they must be somewhat related to the topic of the Web site or will be removed. I updated the title accordingly. Humor posts from time to time are okay, as long as they remain few and far between.

"only The Onion"
The reason why I like the onion is that they touch on subjects that are almost, but not entirely, implausible. Some of their articles, podcasts and movies are just funny. Most are deeply thought provoking, if you ignore the veil of cynicism, for a short moment.
