      A botched BUTT implant leading to a BRAIN-dead state isn’t oniony? Yeah, I get the lidocaine caused cardiac arrest which lead to her being brain-dead, but my first reaction was “how do you work on someone’s butt and leave them brain-dead?”

        No. It isn’t. Being funny or surprising doesn’t make an article oniony. The Onion isn’t any kind of humour, it’s specifically satire. A nottheonion article is one that appears to be satire, but isn’t. There is no illusory subtext to this article, so it isn’t oniony.
