Man some of you guys need to get out and about a little more!
Credible? The Onion is pure satire, styled as news. It is a spoof of today's "news as entertainment" culture.Quote:

For example, look at their home page today, 3/22-02: See that picture of Al and Tipper, above the article titled: "Gores Enjoying Best Sex Of Their Lives"
If that ain't satire, nothing is!
:-)
I highly recommend Onion's desktop calendar, it is a great replacement for the now defunct Farside.
Also, does anyone know when Microsoft will reach their goal and close shop? happy days, happy days
rofl! damn i thought this was a true article...until i noticed the pics were fake! great site and a hella funny joke.
I couldn't agree more... I LOVE The Onion.Quote:

FYI, their website is updated with new 'stories' every Tuesday. It makes the beginning of the week bearable for me... :)
I found it to be a little bit funny.
I agree. The Onion is awesome. I remember people coming to my house to tell me about the evil Harry Potter.They were backing up their beliefs by sending people to the website theonion.com. I started cracking up and invited them in. I took them to theonion.com and showed them that day's stories.Something about President Clinton growing an extra penis. We sat and read through several stories including the Harry Potter one.They were in complete disbelief that they could do something so stupid as to base their ideas on a phony news site. They said that they would have to visit about 75 people they had previously talked to and tell them what they found out. It's funny what a little research will do to keep you from looking like an ***.:DQuote:

Whats up with Onion sites?
First MadOnion and now TheOnion. Whats next? Boises Tribune going for ThePotatoe.com?
Sister just bought dell 2ghz system. Emailed her the link telling her she might as well kiss all that dell support goodbye-she'd have to take to it Best Buy for service. She calls me asking details.
:D Played her good 20 minutes on the phone. Excellent. Got her pantys all in a bunch. BTW-was at BestBuy today and glanced back at service- never saw so many Comcraps and Helmachines in one spot before.
All I want to know is, has anyone told Stephen "Dude, your not gettin' a DELL paycheck?":D
:) Couldn't get past the first 2 or 3 posts before realizing how many people have not experienced "The Onion"--I love it, but haven't visited in a while--gotta check this one out--maybe an urban legend in the making.
