282 hilarious reviews of the Abortionplex on Yelp, e.g.:

5 Stars---The buffet on the mezzanine level is great (avoid the seafood though- they don't replace it often enough) and the gift shop downstairs has cool tchotchkes and stuff (I got a coat hanger license plate frame). And I really like the combo deals- bring a friend and get 1/2 off the 2nd abortion, every third abortion get a free trip to the buffet, etc.

But the Abortionplex Funzone is the best part. Classic 80s arcade games like Joust, Rampage and Tron, all set to play for nickels, plus a row of top-notch skeeball machines. Most places that have skeeball feature machines that are broken or run down, but these are all brand new, and the prizes you can win with game tickets are much better than the plastic junk you usually get at Chucky Cheeze and Peter Pipers. I am definitely having my next birthday party at the Abortionplex! I hope my wife is pregnant again by then.

These Yelp reviews are completely blasphemous. What happens at Abortionplex stays at Abortionplex.>> ^longde:

how is this really soo different to the mainstream?. When 'The Onion' first launched it was soo over the top and ridiculous that no-one could confuse it with 'REAL NEWS', however, in today's media it's pretty damn close to what is reported everyday as sensationalism. If real media would actually report on hard issues rather than pretending that EVERY issue has equal pros and cons then maybe the general population would be more able of discerning truth from fiction.

It also increases the volume of information, and some of it takes longer to sift up, so to speak.>> ^Ryjkyj:

Jeez, this happened months ago. Where the fuck were these guys? I thought the internet was supposed to increase the speed of news.
