He limps towards a green space where he sees the decomposed body of a woman missing the lower half, yet still moving and groaning at him. Frightened at the chilling sight, he quickly takes a bike that was lying nearby and pedals as fast as his weakened legs could allow him to. He reaches his house and finds it abandoned and in a terrible state. There is no sight of his wife Lori, neither of his son, Carl. Rick falls on the ground, shattered and devastated.

The Onion emphasizes such features in an indirect way, by exaggerating the techniques used by marketer such as, appealing to false authority, using Orwellian language and logical fallacies. This creates a humorous article, which exposes a serious point The Onion tries, and succeeds, in making about the modern consumer: he is being controlled by the advertisements he sees. The first sentence in The Onion’s article clearly states marketers use of untrustworthy techniques to sell their products; “ MagnaSoles shoe inserts, which stimulate and soothe the wearer’s feet using no fewer than five forms of pseudoscience."

Though it might sound superficial and most of us don 't like to admit it, traveling abroad is the perfect excuse to shop.

The Simpsons relatability extended beyond the main cast and it was this key addition that separated itself from any other sitcom at the time. The school tyrant Nelson, the authoritarian Principal Seymour Skinner, the cowardly Milhouse van Houten. These characters and many more separated The Simpsons from any other sitcom, as it was the extra cast that made it unique. These characters were fully fleshed out and like the Simpson family were also fundamentally flawed. Nelson was a bully because he was acting out after his father left, Principal Skinner was such a strict authoritarian because of his tyrannical and oppressive mother and Milhouse was a shy, insecure kid, dealing with the recent divorce of his parents.
