They may be too cool for the Yanks, but not for the Aussies.

The following next part of the article indicated that Mullaly was actively joining in with the American tradition of valentines trimming.

C'mon, it's from "The Onion." They are a notoriously funny fake news source.

Their video on Youtube about a video contest that challenges people to "make a video worth watching" is hysterical. A lot of people fell for it....well, we know what kind of people they are.

Not the first time someone's been fooled by The Onion.
