You say "without staying power" but I still remember and frequently cite these ancient Onion article headlines:

   - Drugs now legal if user is gainfully employed
   - Top 10 Genocides of the 20th Century (Infographic)
   - Cycle of Abuse Running Smoothly
I mean sure, it's a satirical news site and it's got a constant stream of new content, much of which is forgettable. But that's true of every other news site too. The gems make it stick.

Don’t forget the perennial article about gun violence they use after every mass shooting.

  - Terrorist Bomb Pierces Bob Dole's Outer Hull
  - Are Your Cats Old Enough To Learn About Jesus?
  - Deadly Super Rainbow Tears Through West Coast
  - Clinton Deploys Vowels To Bosnia
  - Rescue Chip Sent In To Save Broken Tostito Submerged In 7 Layer Dip
That last one in particular was absolutely epic.
"America's Long Nightmare of Peace and Prosperity Finally Over"
