The Onion writes about a sales
representative named Sam Roslindale. He told reporters that he spends his
weekend making different mistakes than he does during the week. During the
workweek, he messes up on things like sales goals. During the weekend, he tends
“to drink too much, yell at [his] wife for no reason, and let [his] daughter
down. Then, come Monday, [he’ll] be ready to resume destroying [his] career all
over again.” The way The Onion describes
this, makes it seem as though this is an average thing everyone does. Though,
since it is satire, it is known that they are clearly bashing Roslindale for
his mistakes. One does not simply ruin their job on weekdays, then ruin their
relationships on the weekends, then repeat. The word choice used makes it
humorous because the way it seems, is like this is an actual article about a
news event that is positive.
