New Remote Control Can Be Operated By RemoteThe Onion: America's Finest News Source is a brilliant satirical "news" source. You can pick up print copies in Chicago, New York, and I'm sure other cities, but these days I catch them mostly online. There are only 12 writers for the entire website/newspaper, which comes out weekly. The writers are very well-read, sharp folks, their material is always irreverent, and often times delving (funnily) into the inappropriate. "Funny, but wrong" is often my reaction to their stuff. They have full stories, fake interviews, "man on the street" segments, and just plain old headlines.
Speaking as a hope blogger, I find that the Onion rarely goes down a cynical path; rather they touch some very funny nerves regarding very serious and important issues.
Just a very few examples, appropriate for this blog, are:
Bush Told To Sign Birthday Treaty For Someone Named 'Kyoto'
Bags Filled With Sand Still Most Advanced U.S. Anti-Flood Technology
Alumni Furious Over High School's Constant Improvements
Hank Williams Jr. Honored By Institute For Football PreparednessBoyfriend Ready To Take Relationship To Previous Level
Jonathan Papelbon's 95 mph Water Balloon Ruins Family Barbecue
