I can't exactly remember when I started reading the Onion, but hardly a day goes by without my checking in on it. It's 'America'sFinest News Source' according to their own press, and I have to tell you... they might be right. They attack popular issues as frequently as they attack meaningless crap and generally poke fun at the media to hilarious effect. Be forewarned though - if you have no sense of humor, if you hate profanity, if the idea of a retired machinist making up horoscopes doesn't sound like it's for you, put it down. Or don't - you're probably the market they're targeting to offend.

Late Clinton era Onion greatest hits. Splendid.

Like the other Onion books, this is one to browse rather than read straight through. Its parody is kind of like some of George Carlin's humor; it leads the reader to take a second look at some things in life that he/she may not have thought much about and see how weird or ridiculous they are. God diagnosed with bipolar disorder? That would explain a lot... things like that.

LOL

My favorite parts are the headlines, point/counterpoint, and the 'interviews.' Sometimes, they really could have left out the stories and just had the headlines, and it would have been just as funny.

It's The Onion, so obliviously hilarious.

Somewhere on my mental top five list of cool things about living in Madison, Wisconsin, would be the piles of Onions that would appear for free on a weekly basis throughout the city. Along with the city's other free paper, The Ithsmus, it was the best newspaper in Madison.

Now that I live in provincial exile, I have to purchase past Onions in book form. Worth it. At its best, The Onion is subversive and funny. At it's worst, it's in extremely poor taste (but still pretty funny).

It's the Onion, the best satire there is.

My most communally read book.

It's by The Onion. 'nuff said.

funny, funny stuff.
