The Onion is a U.S.-based satirical digital media company and newspaper organization that publishes articles on international, national, and local news. Some people love it, some hate it. Either way is fine to them, I’m sure, as long as you keep clicking on their site ;-).
A while back, we discovered that The Onion has posted several articles about Disney parks and, like most satirical pieces, the articles were outlandish but very often based, in varying levels under the surface, in truth.
The Onion has also done a bunch of pieces on travel in general, many of which may or may not give you a chuckle:
(Warning: The Onion frequently uses adult language in their stories. Be aware that clicking on some of these links might show language on your device that’s NSFW)

The Visa Card Scam piece is one of the most spot-on hilarious pieces of satire ever.
