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. More coverage at: onion.com
The video's glitchy because the kid wished for the evidence of his wrongdoing to be destroyed Edit: I'm watching 3 years later and the video is no longer glitchy. The child has been defeated
"They can send donations" has me fucking crying. Just imagine instead of putting a stop it, this kid just wishes his way into dictatorship over America
Probably too many people who were fooled. Before you argue about how dumb it would be for them to believe that something like this is real, remember that not everybody is aware of the actual state of the law and the way the world works...
14 years later and we still continue day after day to grant Chad's unlimited wishes. We thought we almost had him about 3 years ago, but he wished the grim reaper take the other kids instead, so he could get their wishes too.
The year is 2589, another assasination attempt has failed as The Cosmic Warlord known as Chad cut Obamatron 5.0 in half using his ultimate infinte omnytrix duel gauntlet 3000 in a milisecond. Humanity's last push against the tyrant seems in vain as the world falls into the darkness under the hand of Chad.
I cannot believe she said that. The parents could stop this. This is a child, a very sick child. He is not the devil. Do not wish him to die soon. Adults can stop this. Let the parents take Make a Wish to court, but quit granting him every wish and change the rules, now.
@@dogsdreamtoo8427 it’s a lie, the true link is this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dQw4w9WgXcQ.html probably it’s just a bot lol
As a kid I met my favorite band through Make A Wish and lived to tell the tale. This is hilarious, kudos to the Onion. It's been 20 years since my Wish, and all my friends since have asked me why I didn't wish for more wishes. (And yes, I know it's satire!)
I love that when he says "daily hotdog lunches..." the text actually reads "138 Hotdog Lunches...". The onion is so good at sneaking all those little funny details into a 2 minute sketch.
Make-a-Wish President: "We continue to grant Chad, day after day, his unlimited wishes from now until the day he dies." Woman host: "Well then, we can only hope that's coming soon." _hahahaha_
Starla Anne I agree, this is outrageous. They should stop catering to him and just throw him out of the hospital....then see how the little turd likes it.
***** 'Scuse me, but I don't think that the boy is being "catered" to......he's probably eating the hospital food. (Unless he wished for a caterer to bring him his meals from outside the hospital.)
Also, the Onion's inability to fix it and its overall downfall that they don't even have the resources to back up and reupload an old video despite it being an issue for at least a few years.
It is actually quite easy. All you have to do to bring a 20+ level mage compared to the kid and he or she can unwish the wish. Of course-and this is possible- if there is no such mage in the area, like, for instance they are out there in a war for a ring or another valuable artifact, well in that case they are in deep shit. I would recommend in this case a player character of any level, who has a chance of rolling a 20 on a 20 die. All this applies for ADnD second edition of course. Otherwise, we are pretty much fXXed.
Today I got to experience my friend watch a video from this channel for the first time. It was so great witnessing the struggle of “This sounds too good to be true, but also looks super legit”. I didn’t even explain it to him, I just let him figure it out himself, and it was a phenomenal experience
1:57 Now I want the next Star Wars film to include Anakin fighting Jack Sparrow alongside a charizard and T-Rex. Knowing Chad he'll probably wish to make it canon.
If you don't look at who uploaded it you'll most likely think it's real until like halfway into the video because they make it a bit obvious on purpose.
***** Wow, that's a good point. I never thought of that. What if it threw off the space-time continuum for the whole galaxy and even beyond. We could literally have a universal catastrophe. That's messed up!! I didn't have a headache until I started thinking about this.
***** Unplugging the life support permanently is a little drastic. They should unplug it for just enough time to give the kid a some serious wacks with a belt.... or if that doesn't work, tie him to a whipping post and thrash the shit out of him (*_~)
***** It's understandable that he didn't think of wishing for his leukemia to disappear. The selfish little turd was probably thinking too much about all the other stuff he wanted and all the people he wants to hurt.
Make a wish foundation is truely and honorable bunch, my grandma was dying of cancer and they brought her whole family from vietnam over to canada for over 6 months ... they are truely amazing... she was a good person and i'm forever in their dept for doing this.
it really gets me mad how such a nice, genuine foundation that is just in the search for children's happiness can get taken advantage of by such a selfish "person". i'm not going to call him a child because what he is doing is a adult type of evil.
I actually suspect this child may have overcome his illness and grown up into bane the Batman villain. It'd explain his breathing apparatus, it's another thing he asked the make a wish foundation to create for him!
GUYS! STOP TELLING PEOPLE THAT IT IS FAKE. The point is to play along, the onion is more fun that way, and hell; if someone believes it: mission accomplished!
monkeyboy8me I used to think this was real, about 5 years ago (Never herard of The Onion before) but then I realised about 5 minutes into the movie that it was bullshit lololol

I remember watching this last year and there was glitching at the beginning but most of the video was fine. And so I thought I'd check it out today... and now the entire video is glitched out. wtf is going on???
2:03 "...The worst case is that we continue to grant Chad, day after day, his unlimited wishes from now until the day he dies" "Well and we can only hope that that's coming soon."
I love all the comments talking about people in the comments on onion videos thinking it's real, when I have yet to find one of these illusive comments..
Denver Scott It’s easy. Go under the comments that have the “we can only wish that day comes sooner” line and under it are idiots that think this is real and that the lady is being serious.
Honestly, the only thing Chad could do was "wish for unlimited wishes." He couldn't actually use any of the unlimited wishes he was granted because his only choice was more wishes. Make-A-Wish didn't have to get him anything since wishes have no value. Their legal team sucks that they didn't know this.
"The worst case is that we continue to grant Chad, day after day, his unlimited wishes from now until the day he dies. Well then we can only hope that that's coming soon." Priceless
I was a make a wish kid when I was 4 and I wished for me to be in Disney World. I had brain cancer and chemotherapy and stayed in hospital for 2 months before being done with it.
Never said it was an American F-14, Iran still flies F-14's and this would not be the first time Iranian hardware ended up in Afghanistan. Jesus, do some research.
I personally never realized until I started watching them again like a few years ago lmao I thought the world was just insane and didn't question anything
This was actually said in this “Until the day he dies.” “Well, we can only hope that that’s soon.” Edit: Oh my God I didn’t know this was fake the onion is so good at this
I love the shot of his packed room. And: 'We hired a pro bono legal team, but Chad found out about them and wished away the legal team.' Ah, I love The Onion.
