The Onion has graced us with yet another hilarious piece of satire titled “Melting Ice Caps Expose Hundreds Of Secret Arctic Lairs“. Here’s a bit from the piece:

According to oceanographers, the Arctic Circle has been devastated by the effects of global warming in recent years, threatening hundreds of men and women who use the frozen tundra as a place to conduct bizarre experiments in human-animal grafting, carry out massive government cover-ups, or simply as a hidden headquarters from which to battle the forces of evil and fight crime.

“Last week a giant ice sheet broke off and split my prized underground complex nearly in half,” said Dr. Raygun, a self-described psychotic mastermind best known for his diabolical thought-control experiments. “Now millions of dollars in state-of-the-art doomsday devices are gone—all because of the environmental carnage wrought by the human race.”

“You spend your whole career concocting a brilliant scheme to wipe out all of mankind, and what happens?” Dr. Raygun continued. “They bring about a major global catastrophe completely on their own, those fools!”

    The article is hilarious. Save us from Dr. Raygun. The Onion is always a good read for me.

    None of this shocking to me…companies make money any way they can (even if this article is exaggerated for effect a bit).

    Poor Dr. Raygun. I feel so sorry for the guy! :)
    Can’t anyone concoct an evil plan anymore without being disturbed?
    Were are we headed? :)

    On a more serious note, maybe this isn’t so far from the truth as it seems:
