It is funny. It's just tongue-in-cheek enough to lick its own ears clean.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

When we kill people it makes the policemen flustered and stern.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's funny because it's a parody of a certain style of "hollywood" writer....

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
My goodness, those pictures. I was sitting there staring at the last one, going, hmm, kinda Adam Brody-ish, who is it...

Hey. New board.
Yes. It's funny. It's funnier if you read Jackie Harvey's articles regularly.
Basically, I see this as a sign that The Onion approves of Serenity. Jackie has notoriously terrible taste.

Oh my, that's funny.
Michael Dorn as Dr. Boo-Boo, the kindly Reaver. Ship's Medic.
It's funny 'cause it's true. Or, it would be true in the Trek 'verse.

Andromeda basically did that with the pacifist Magog reverend its first couple of seasons.

They also neutered the Nietzscheans with Steve Bacic's final Rhade. It's a thing. No danger.
But, hey, Andromeda.

I was willing to forgive the lack of danger somewhat in that case because they replaced it with a bulk-sized order of pretty.
