The satirical newspaper The Onion was founded in 1988 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Originally a weekly humor print publication targeting a local student population, The Onion is today a booming news organization known as America's Finest News Source.

The launch of TheOnion.com in 1996 expanded its signature brand of satire to a national and international audience. Online expansion opened doors to growth in a multitude of areas. The company has become an omnipotent news empire, reaching millions of fans through print, broadcast, radio, mobile apps, books, and, in January 2011, two new television shows on the Independent Film Channel and Comedy Central. The website continues to be the nucleus of all The Onion does, described by TIME magazine as “the funniest site on the Internet.”

TheOnion.com now averages 40 million page views and roughly 7.5 million unique visitors per month. The Onion's digital strategy has resulted in an enormous and dedicated fan base. The newspaper's content is delivered constantly, Tweeted at optimum times and posted on Facebook during high-traffic periods. Subsequently, users can easily embed, share, or post articles and videos to their personal Facebook and Twitter accounts. As a result, the Onion's fans take an active role in the viral nature of the content. Within minutes of posting an article or video, the content materializes across a number of platforms.

An excellent read: A great book. Even the little "news" tidbits they usually have on the front page of their site, in the sidebars that are not archived, are all there.

A slight gripe: most of the articles are spread over two - and sometimes three - pages. These pages are often not adjacent (e.g. article from p.48 is continued on p.50), so you often have to skip all over the place while other articles distract you.

Another gripe is that this is the only complete volume :). We need more!

Deliciously sick sense of humor. The Onion is so refreshing in the midst of such a PC climate. If you are not familiar with The Onion Newspapers and have skin thicker than that of (what else?) an onion, do acquaint yourself with their work.

So far it's excellent, naturally, as brilliant and insightful and dead-on-the-money as anything else out there and then some, but I'm reserving the upgrade to that stubborn fifth star because it doesn't quite, well, warm the soul, you know? I always feel a little better informed and a lot more amused after I read The Onion, but also a little snarkier, and I'm just not sure that's a good thing.

I read this while I was working at Borders, honestly, I love the Onion, they're funny, but also the one news source that would print the same story over and over to drive home the point that something keeps happening when it could so easily be stopped.

I enjoyed it, as expected, but some of the stuff has not stood the test of time, there were a lot of pop culture references that I was never going to get, and some of the articles just weren't all that interesting or funny at times.

Potentially interesting as a view into the lives of people 2000-2001. Unfortunately, those years are not actually interesting, mostly just dull and depressingly futile. The satire is absolutely spot-on, which I do have to commend the Onion for, and they get right to the meat of a very unpleasant time. My problem is that it's a time I don't care to relive.

It works best to read this as the immediate 21st century follow-up to the magnificent "Onion" volume "Our Dumb Century". Hilarious from start to finish, but equally incisive and profound...the "God Clarifies No Kill Rule" story from the 9/11 issue walks the line of this particular set of characteristics perfectly.
