The Onion‘s News Sense Suddenly, Terrifyingly Accurate

20080326161209990108.jpgOn Tuesday, we brought you the news that the Onion had “scooped” the competition with its story about Shia Lebeouf‘s arrest.

Now, courtesy of Aaron Barnhart at TVBarn, it looks like the jokers at “America’s Finest News Source” have done it again.

Yesterday, The Wall Street Journal — citing voters who “won’t vote for any beanpole guy” — asked if Barack Obama was too fit to be President. Six months ago, however, the Onion News Network covered this territory when it ran a video called “As Obese Population Rises, More Candidates Courting The Fat Vote.” WSJ foiled again. (Why the Journal is running this story in the first place in an entirely different discussion.)

ONN video after the jump.
