An excellent read: A great book. Even the little "news" tidbits they usually have on the front page of their site, in the sidebars that are not archived, are all there.
A slight gripe: most of the articles are spread over two - and sometimes three - pages. These pages are often not adjacent (e.g. article from p.48 is continued on p.50), so you often have to skip all over the place while other articles distract you.
Another gripe is that this is the only complete volume :). We need more!
Pretty good. I like the headlines better than the articles sometimes, and some of them are very, very wrong.
A bright spot in a sad world. The Onion helps us laugh at ourselves.

It's the Onion. What more is there to say?
On the whole, The Onion is the most consistently funny publication that...oh, I don't know, has ever been printed throughout the existence of man? Unfortunately, this otherwise dependably hilarious collection of Onion articles is ineptly laid out, to say the least. Maybe there was some kind of super-cool joke hiding in this aggravating design that I missed, but it looks to me like they just slapped it together. But, again, funnier than pretty much everything.
So far it's excellent, naturally, as brilliant and insightful and dead-on-the-money as anything else out there and then some, but I'm reserving the upgrade to that stubborn fifth star because it doesn't quite, well, warm the soul, you know? I always feel a little better informed and a lot more amused after I read The Onion, but also a little snarkier, and I'm just not sure that's a good thing.
Deliciously sick sense of humor. The Onion is so refreshing in the midst of such a PC climate. If you are not familiar with The Onion Newspapers and have skin thicker than that of (what else?) an onion, do acquaint yourself with their work.
If you've never heard of the Onion, you should get into it if you care about the laughter of children. It is a weekly free publication in several major cities. www.theonion.com.
Oh my god it's like dipping your hand in the worlds biggest candy bowl !!!!!!!

Hilarious. Horoscopes and the H-Dog are the best.
We all need some of this sometimes...
