glennbeckcrying Onion mocks: Victim in fatal car accident tragically not Glenn BeckEven Fox pundit Glenn Beck will probably laugh at this one.

A satiric Onion News Network video reports on "a grisly death that only TV host Glenn Beck could deserve."

An honor student, who the fake news broadcast repeatedly refers to as "not Glenn Beck," was said to have been the victim in a fatal car accident.

"I heard screaming and I thought it was just someone doing an accurate impression of Glenn Beck normally," a purported witness claims.

The alleged victim "loved to dance and hated Glenn Beck," the video claims. A graphic on screen adds, "Family: Victim gone too soon; Glenn Beck should have died 45 years ago."

Story continues below...

Beck has laughed off countless mock assaults by Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert, and his website even links to some of the videos.

His own site describes one such video in a self-mocking manner: "Colbert is at it again - having a laugh at Glenn's expense is something the self-deprecating, pasty white, chubby, girlie man is quite used to at this point in life. Glenn's own staff has been poking fun at his penchant for crying for years and years, so this is not groundbreaking material but overall a funny segment from the mock conservative."

But a post on the conservative Big Hollywood website, run by Drudge ally Andrew Breitbart, finds no humor in the Onion video.

If “The Onion” is so desperate to be liked by the establishment, why not just send certificates for free ice cream, or something?

The irony here is that Glenn Beck is everything the “Onion” thinks they are: funny, cutting edge, unafraid, and in the arena ready to mix it up.

    It is truly a tragedy that this fucktard doesn't die in a horrible, fiery crash. Seeing this piece of shit wiped from the face of the earth would go a long way to helping me believe in the concept of a just and moral god. The fact that this syphillitic hack and assholes like him (Limbaugh, O'Reilly, all of Fux and Friends, Chris Wallace, every Republican in Congress) do not suffer the daily blows of divine justice is the best argument against faith.

    Funniest. Video. Ever.

    As one who absolutely believes Glenn Beck's actual existance is, in fact, a complete and utter disaster for America and the World, I do not find this particular piece of 'satire' at all satirical.
    The Onion has hit on a truth many genuinely intelligent people reached a long time ago; it is a tragedy-a very real tragedy-repeated day in and day out all across the world when anyone dies of anything who is not the low life Glenn Beck. And this sentiment goes as well for Rush and Shaun and Anne and Bill and George and Dick and Liz, (to name but a few).

    I couldn't agree more!But I would like him to die with a bullet in his mouth!I mean the man(oops)is so far out of touch,suicid would be a blessing for all!

    Lol, but if the Onion did this to Obama, Raw story would by hyperconcerned about which members of their staff held concealed weapons permits or some other hypocritial bullshit.

    Beck is irrelevant, so is Colbert.
  • jlewd
    Maybe you haven't been paying attention to the teabagger take-over of the Republican Party, as evidenced by the New York 23 election? Beck is very truly and unfortunately relevant in that dumbasses incapable of rational thought will look to the loudest buffoon to lead them just as they always have. It's even more disgusting when you have an asshole running on the "Conservative" ticket and claiming this sorry piece of sodden tripe is his mentor (mentard, maybe).

    Anyway, the way this cockwad has fucked the country, I look forward to reading his not-at-all-tragic, entirely joyous death -- one hopes it will be painful and long drawn.

    Glenn Beck's demented rants do seem to mock the notion of reasoned consideration. Maybe I just caught him on a bad...year?
  • JohnPinkerton
    I live in Olathe, Kansas. I also hate Glenn Beck!
  • Wayne
    Wow..... Because someone has a differing view of the world than I do it means I can wish them dead? What about take action and cause that death? You pansy liberals are winning me over here... I love it...
    So I guess it is NOT all peace and love in fairy land? Time ofr me to go make some videos about Comrade Obama.... Ta Ta..
  • papercutdeath
    I disagree. Glenn Beck is lacking so much understanding and self control that to pass up making fun of that and instead wish him dead is to change the subject from Becks missing facts and missing composure to wishing his death as if we are some twisted serial killers!

    Such an angle on Becks incompetence takes "us" from easily proving Beck as being hilariously wrong to "us" being wrong for wishing his death. Hmmm?

    the Onion is not what it used to be back when it brilliantly took apart stupidity and corruption at the highest levels of society and brought the Onion national recognition. Back then it was so effective that after a few years a huge corporation bought it and watered it down into frat house humor and it current irrelevence.--- Thats what "they" wanted and that is how they quietly win an arguement they couldnt otherwise win on the facts and healthy ridicule.

    This is a perfect example of the the change in the Onion. In the pst the Beck skwering would have been a healthy clever piece full of nutritious facts. Instead today Glenn Becks incompetence is not illuminated and instead the reader is supposed to wish for Becks death.

    not even close to being a clever and healthy laugh....
