Either this is kinda lame, or it is the most complex, layered satire ever.

The White House has informed The Onion that it must stop using the Presidential Seal. Which, of course, is silly because everybody knows that even if that is a law, there is certainly a First Amendment exception for satire. Also, some White House flack says that they're sure sorry, but they can't make exceptions, it's the law. So they had to make the Onion stop, they had no choice. Of course that's why they stopped SNL from using the seal years ago, it's just the...what? They don't seem to care about the other people who allegedly use the Seal for profit. But whatever. At least they're on that Iraq thing...what? Oh, son of a bitch!
