Today Now! has the story of an 8-year-old whose demand for never-ending wish fulfillment may force the Make-A-Wish Foundation to shut down

It's a spoof of course, we all know The Onion for their satire but I just think it's a bit Hmm

It is a bit crap because of the subject it's using to poke fun, but it's the reality about what a savvy 8 year old would actually ask for Grin

It's also quite nice in that it portrays the Make-A-Wish Foundation as so dedicated that they'd actually bankrupt themselves to fulfill the wish (even though it'd mean other children wouldn't get theirs, but then it's not true Grin).
