If you aren't a gamer or a member of the military then The Onion's Modern Warfare 3 parody video may not be for you. The Onion has created its own Call of Duty sequel that mimics the occasional monotony of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Modern Warfare 3 features epic missions like driving back and forth between bases and smoking cigarettes. I actually showed this video to a military friend of mine and he couldn't stop laughing. Check it out for yourself above. I can't wait to see the multi-player modes.
