The Onion.




I love the Onion. The fake newspaper & on-line site with all those fake news stories and fake headlines? Brilliant.

They're political, they're irreverant. And their satirical line protects them from serious reprecussions from the far right, far left, religious groups, minorities...etc. They do that thing... that thing that is so hard to do. To be funnily offensive. To offend is easy... use the "N" word and see. Now try crafting a joke using the "N" word that all (or at least most) find funny... and now you're on to something. This past week's on-line ONION had some wonderful nuggest. Figured I'd share some:

"Kobe Bryant Named as 2008 Olympic Basketball Team"
"Latest Bin Laden Tape For Completists Only"
"Greztky: I did not bet on baseball"
"Voice Of The Red Sox Ends 86-Year Living Streak"

There's more. They update every Tuesday afternoon:" http://www.theonion.com/content/index
