"The Onion" Does it again.

I was reading it on the train (God, I love my PocketPC!) the other day and laughing out loud. Kinda embarrassing, in public.
 
gotta love The Onion

(my all-time favorite blurb from The Onion was an obituary; "Roadkill squirrel remembered as frantic, indecisive")

My favorite was one of the horroscopes: "You will discover a non-Nietzschean snack that neither kills you nor makes you stronger."
 
The unchallenged greatest one of all, September 26, 2001:

Hijackers Surprised to Find Selves in Hell
"We Expected Eternal Paradise For This," Say Suicide Bombers
Exacerbating the terrorists' tortures, which include being hollowed out and used as prophylactics by thorn-cocked Gulbuth The Rampant...

My favorite one-line blurb was "Hard-working gas station attendant gives 109 9/10 percent everyday."
 
My favorite Onion story was when Jesus converted to Islam.

"Yay, I said unto you, 'I am the way, the truth, and the light.' Now I say, 'Forget I ever said that. There is only one God, and Mohammad is his prophet."

I also like when they reported that the Midwest Peace Talks broke down (between Iowa and Illinois)
 
My favourite was the one they said they didn't dare run - after 9/11 : "US military as strong as ever says spokesman at the Quadragon."

Evil, but funny...

Ah, that reminds me of the time they ran the story about Jesus being arrested for shooting up an abortion clinic. "I've always hated abortion, and My father has told Me He hates it, too."
 
Believe it or not i've seen pictures from my high school year book in the Onion.
 
One thing I have always wondered: who are the actual people who's pictures are shown in their "opinions" section?

I wonder what those people think of their picture being in the Onion every week?

Could be the writers and editors, either that or people they'd hired or who'd volunteered. Of course that’s rather obvious.
