Summary: Funny, but short
Comment: I bought a subscription for my husband as a gift for Father's day. I received one issue late June and just received another 2 days ago. The onion online is hilarious, the print version isn't as good. Only 2 pages of funny articles (roughly 4 small articles) and the rest are movie reviews and advertisements. I still gave it three stars because the onion is amusing despite those two problems. I'm sticking to my online dose of the onion.

Summary: Funny and More
Comment: The Onion is famous for its current-events and popular culture satires, which are consistently spot-on. The brash sense of humor and subtle insights into the personalities and issues being addressed makes this magazine worth its admittedly hefty subscription rate. The magazine contains more material than the website, so you definitely want to get your hot little hands on the paper edition.But the humor isn't even the largest part of the magazine, just the front. The Onion A.V. Club takes up most of each issue, with in-depth articles on current movies, music, books, personalities, and more. It has a distinctly New York-oriented bent, as given away by things like concert listings for NYC, but most of it is applicable to the avant-garde and the hip-n-happening nationwide.
This magazine is an emblem of its age. Get it, read it, study it, and inject it directly into your bloodstream. Then you'll never wonder what's REALLY going on in the world around you again.

Summary: The Best Journalistic Satire Ever Put To Paper
Comment: When the satire in MAD Magazineâ„¢ ain't quite doin' the trick, I turn to The Onionâ„¢'s unbelievably hilarious write-ups that take shots at just about everything & everybody you can imagine. From the complex intricacies of geek culture (Nate Orenstam's Op-Ed "Who Says Java Programmers Don't Have A Sense of Humor?"), "local" stories ("Church Group Offers Homosexual New Life In Closet"), and world events ("India's Top Physicists Develop Plan To Get The Hell Out of India"), no one is safe from the satirical wrath and wit of this weekly publication! Offtimes, just the titles of the articles alone (like "Adam Sandler Fans Disappointed By Intelligent, Nuanced Performance") send me into fits of barely-controllable laughter (My personal fave: "Special Olympics Tee-Ball Stand Pitches Perfect Game")! And funnier still is the fact that some folks and governmental agencies from around the world have read some of these fine little bits of journalistic parody and mistook them for actual news pieces!If you wish to see a preview of what you can expect from "America's Finest News Source"â„¢, check out the online edition at TheOnion.com. But just so you know, the web site features only part of the content that's available in the corresponding print edition. If you wanna get it all, you're gonna hafta subscribe...
Fair warning: the content of most Onion articles tend to be of an adult nature in content and language. Strongly recommended for mature readers only!
