Excellent book - Bring to Work!

I purchased this on Sunday and have had it at work and we are all cracking up some examples "New York to Install Special 'Infant Only' Dumpsters", "Chrysler Halts Production of Neckbelts", "Nation's Educators Alarmed by Poorly Written Teen Suicide Notes", etc., etc. You will be laughing and crying!

It doesn't get much better than this.

This book is priceless. Some of the articles aren't quite great, but when they're good, they're hysterical.

Funny -- a great book!

The Onion is so-o-o-o-o funny. It's my uplift each week. Entertaining, captivating, fun journalism. But head warning: This isn't your grandmother's produce.

Industrial Strength Sarcasm

"The Onion" says everything you were ever afraid to say out loud. But be warned--several times I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. This book *will* hurt you.

Funny stuff, but in need of an editor

The audiotape of "The Onion's Finest News Reporting" is mostly on the money, making me laugh out loud several times during the course of its one cassette. The laughs came from the short news items, however, NOT the long parodies of newspaper editorials which are inserted after every five or six news items. The editorials are endless and dull, and confuse the fact that an observation about something might be funny but having to experience it might not be; for example, the IDEA of someone delivering a ten-minute self-important editorial about something so NOT a part of our daily lives as robots might generate a chuckle, but to actually have to listen to such an editorial (as we do here) is agony. An editor worth his salt would have seen that stuff like that wasn't working and performed some needed cutting. But, as long as you don't have to pay too much cash for this, the audio is worth your time for the short news pieces, which are mostly hilarious.
