Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, the Onion print edition ended about a year ago and is now digital only. It's not as good as it was a decade ago, with a new generation of writers, but every now and then they hit a soft spot. Still worth checking out, even though now they only give you 10 free articles a month or some crap like that. This site is funny, in that depressing way where you are again reminded how gullible and stupid many people are, and that they vote for your political leaders :( I LOVE their choice of name for the website though. Every time someone misuses the word "literally" in the 21st century, God kills a baby. Literally.

(Actually, I do too). But you can think of it as a sink or honeypot where all the people who would fall for a joke like a 9000 km roller coaster. That frees up a lot of other forums for the rest of us. (A friend pointed out how much attention was paid to the article about turtle cock, though. What's up with that?)
