Funny, yet a bit sad as well...

Oh yeah, I'm not sure if people outside of the US are familiar with The Onion.  It's basically a tongue in cheek, fake newspaper... the stories are made up.

I live in California, land of fruits and nuts as they say  ;D

Yes, I am familiar with the Onion and I knew it was satire.... but I still found it a bit sad because of the ring of truth that ran through it. As teens we all try new things with great enthusiasm and so often have our dreams crushed by the stark reality of the world.

That is all my comment was about.

I don't know. She could have a great future as an 'Artist'.
