"Early Japanese villagers consume entire meals with nothing more than two primitive sticks held together between their thumb and forefinger"

I agree they're hilarious. Though in many of their articles (including the one you mention) I think their real aim is poking fun at American newspapers. Particularly small-town local publications, which really truly run articles that might pass for Onion entries.
