Uh, you *do* realize that the Onion is a joke paper in the same vein as Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert right? Though it's been around a lot longer.

Actually, it is a joke paper, but actually does report real articles also. Regardless, it's a funny read.

Uh, I don't think I've ever read a real article in the onion, excepting the A&E pages. They mock real news stories, yes, and sadly, idiots like that do exist, but the actual content is all bogus.

The Onion is entirely fictitious. They've never seriously reported on anything in the 22 years they've been in business. I mean come on, it's Comedy Central. It's jokes.

I dunno... The Onion tends to bring some of the heaviest truth in the business.

It can interpreted as a joke, but the joke is usually an ironic view of reality.

They do a lot of random stuff as well, that is obviously fake.
