Hum Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The White House is not amused by The Onion, a newspaper that often spoofs the Bush administration, and has asked it to stop using the presidential seal on its Web site. The seal was still on the Web site www.theonion.com on Tuesday at the spot where President George W. Bush's weekly radio address is parodied. With headlines like "Bush To Appoint Someone To Be In Charge Of Country" and "Bush Subconsciously Sizes Up Spain For Invasion," The Onion is popular with readers looking for a little laughter with their politics. White House spokesman Trent Duffy said people who work in the executive mansion do have a sense of humor, but not when it comes to breaking regulations. "When any official sign or seal is being used inappropriately the party is notified," Duffy said. Duffy said while he does not personally read The Onion, he admitted knowing others in the White House who do. "Like everyone else, we like a good laugh." more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotRoot Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I love the Onion. And I thought you could use trademarked (if these regulations are trademarks that they are talking about) stuff in parodies by US law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
