The Onion. America's Finest New Source.
I have to say, I visited the Onion for the first time. It was funny. My question, where do you find stuff like this. What were you doing and thought, "I'll just google Onion and see what comes up." I will have to bookmark the site so I can get a good laugh from time to time.
ReplyDeleteActually, my history professor recomended the site to me in my freshman year. She wanted us to read an article about McDonald's being better than the welfare system--food, playground, uniforms, social group, etc. I've been checking occasionally ever since.
