The Onion

[Kaihaku]

I love the Onion. It falters now and again but it always manages to maintain such great wit and unlike other satirical new sources it manages to balance out a wide range of humor so it doesn't get too overbearing.

Anyone else enjoy it?

I haven't seen the movie yet but I'll have to pick it up at some point.

[Red Sock]

I love the Onion! I even subscribe to it. I just love finding a spanking new issue in the mail every week.

[SurlySeraph]

Yeah, I like the Onion a lot. "Our Dumb Century" is one of the best works of humor ever written.

[Vaynor]

I love The Onion! Their sense of humor is great. :smallbiggrin:

On Halloween Commercialism (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0McggLIYmnE).

On Halloween Commercialism (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0McggLIYmnE).

Darn it, you just had to post a Youtube link, didn't you. The main site videos didn't work for me, so now I have to spend the next hour watching them. :smalltongue:

My favourite article of all time?

Loved Ones Recall Local Man's Cowardly Battle with Cancer. (http://www.theonion.com/content/node/29585)

"Russ did not go quietly, that's for sure," said longtime friend Bobby Dwyer. "He did a tremendous amount of screaming." :smalltongue:

[snoopy13a]

I like The Onion as well. The videos of the Onion News Network are often very funny.

[Irenaeus]

I read, watch and listen to it daily. It's absolutely fantastic. I've even linked to it a few days ago.

[Vespe Ratavo]

I love the Onion. I pick it up every week and I read it online.

This is definitely one of my favorite stories, though. (http://www.theonion.com/content/node/28032)

Has anyone read much Our Dumb World? I'm not going to start here, but there are some hilarious things there.

I saw the add for it. It looked hilarious.

[Sequinox]

Oh, and I meant the online part. Never read the book. :smallbiggrin:

(The online part's free, btw. Anyone who likes offensive, tongue in cheek humor should check it out.)

[Mr. Scaly]

Yeah, I like the Onion a lot. "Our Dumb Century" is one of the best works of humor ever written.

I read that years ago and seek it anew. :smallbiggrin:

[Obrysii]

I love The Onion, and the fact that it's free is excellent.

Entire Precinct made of up Loose Canons. (http://www.theonion.com/content/news/entire_precinct_made_up_of_loose)

[The Extinguisher]

The Onion is good, but they used to be much better.

It's too obvious to see a news headline and pick out if it's an onion article or not nowadays.

[Irenaeus]

The Onion is good, but they used to be much better.

It's too obvious to see a news headline and pick out if it's an onion article or not nowadays.I just partially agree. They haven't gotten worse, they just haven't changed a lot.

I think the video segments have improved a lot, though.

[A Rainy Knight]

Has anyone read much Our Dumb World? I'm not going to start here, but there are some hilarious things there.

Our Dumb World is perhaps my single favorite written work of comedy. I mean, the sheer amount of stuff they put in it is amazing, and it is one of the few things that can consistently crack me up.

A caption to one of the pictures:
"An Algerian terrorist practices his agility, footwork, and exploding skills."

[kamikasei]

It's too obvious to see a news headline and pick out if it's an onion article or not nowadays.

I think if that were true, I would feel a lot better about the world.

[FoE]

This is definitely one of my favorite stories, though. (http://www.theonion.com/content/node/28032)

"In addition, each of the suspended officers has suffered nonfatal bullet wounds to the left shoulder." Classic. :smalltongue:

[Red Sock]

Oh man, the t shirts that the onion has are awesome (http://store.theonion.com/t-shirts-c-11.html).

[Deathslayer7]

I enjoy it, but not on a daily basis.

[Kaihaku]

"In addition, each of the suspended officers has suffered nonfatal bullet wounds to the left shoulder." Classic. :smalltongue:

Definitely a classic, love it.

Clinton Deploys Vowels to Bosnia. (http://ifaq.wap.org/society/voweldeployment.html)

My first memory of The Onion. Anyway, there's an Onion newsstand thing right by my school, so I pick it up fairly often.

[Hawthorn]

I really like The Onion. I find that the humor can be a bit hit or miss for me, but I'm almost always chuckling as I read it.

One of my favorite parts is the Horoscope (http://www.theonion.com/content/topics/Horoscopes). (Link is archive of all of them.)

I need to write that piece I thought up. Does anyone know if they would accept a submission?

[Magnax]

Argh! The Onion is one of those dreadfully funny websites that keeps me from getting any work done.

I'll probably pick up a copy of the book when I get a chance.
