We can't say we were blown away with the union slogans y'all submitted for the not-actually-striking writers at The Onion. There are several potential reasons for this, we realized. First, you are not Onion writers, and, thus, are less funny than they are. Second, strikes are not inherently funny. And third, and perhaps most significant, it's not a real strike, and our gullibility did not inspire you to deliver your best work.

Still, there were a few decent submissions. Our favorite, a relatively simple entry that nicely adopts the deadpan Onion manner while mocking us for failing to get the paper's joke, was submitted by one Adam Scwartz:

"Fake Reporters on Fake Strike."

And if that's the best, you can only imagine the high, high quality of the runners-up, available after the jump.

Earlier: An Ironic Strike?

First runner-up: "I Bet You're Taking Editorial Submissions Of Any Kind Now, Bitch."

Second runner-up: "Picket Sign."

A few others we liked:

"What? You Want Funny? We're on Fucking Strike."

"Fake Reporters Upset by Fake Benefits."

"Jason Blair Got Six Figures to Make Up Stories, and We're Funnier."
