Summary: A Few Gems
Comment: If you've never read The Onion, you're a jerk. But in case you're thinking about getting this book anyway, look at with the online editions of The Onion first. The humor works better in a fake-newspaper format than a fake-newspaper-clippings format (the way it's presented in this book.) The difference might not be as apparent to people who've been reading the Onion for a while and automatically think in the newspaper paradigm, but if that's not you, then jumping right into this book might not give you the full effect.
For peple who do regularly read The Onion, be aware that nothing in this book is original material (i.e. hasn't been culled from previous issues of The Onion.) Still, you can't find all of this in the online archives, and some of the ones you may have never seen before are probably worth looking at. And a few of them are just so side-splittingly gasping-for-air funny that you'll BARF. I am thinking specifically of the editorial "My Efforts Are Largely Unappreciated" -- which is written by a traffic cone! Apparently, it feels that it deserves more recognition in the workplace. This poor, feeble, and brainless (but incredibly earnest) inanimate object's tenuous grasp of human syntax is just plain hilarious. So this thing may not be as essential as Our Dumb History, but it's alright if you've got money and time to burn.

Summary: Hilarious
Comment: I discovered The Onion (its website) by accident, one day while searching on the Internet. And I was instantly hooked. The site is incredibly funny, and satirical and points the right amount of fun and directed political commentary at the key issues making the headlines. This is is simply important reading. While it is important to keep abreast of the serious journals and commnetary, its important to remember that satire and comedy are often as illustrative and explanatory than the serious stuff. Highly recommended.
