Ever read The Onion's newspaper? It is quite something to behold and is one of the few rags I would consume cover to cover.

Last month, Fall was cancelled after 3 billion seasons.

It sounds like climate change may finally have changed the way we live. One old guy was asking what he would have to do differently in the wake of manic new weather patterns that change quicker than predictions from weathermen.

My thought was that he would have to wear lots of layers (ie dress like an onion and peel off or add layers as appropriate). The Onion suggested he would have to wear shorts. Oh, how disappointing that they are so one-layered in their thinking.

Study finds working at work improves productivity.

After my experiences at government offices recently, I have to think that the results to this bizarre survey (working improves productivity) would never last 2 seconds in the public domain. A zealous bureaucrat would bury the report or stuff it down the front of their shorts and set fire to themselves - just to save their lazy ass colleagues from being fired for working at a negative rate. If only such martyrs were as dedicated to work as they are to work avoidance!

Conclusion

A liberal smattering of AV movie and music reviews, plus classifieds, mainstream ads and on the back, a shameless plug for the Onion atlas, aka Our Dumb World - this paper adheres to the layout rules of a conventional tabloid newspaper. So, officially, we say that the paper version of The Onion actually passes muster as - a newspaper.

With so much substance, this truly mediocre, I mean, meteoric media star-in-the-making is destined for great things. Check it out the next time you pass a spoof news stand.
