Summary: Equal opportunity satire
Review: My, my...perhaps I should have pursued my journalism career -- I would love to write for the Onion -- but only the Onion -- because their sarcastic wit is just what the nation needs. This is a very satirical look at news, newspapers, and publishers. The stories cover with, irreverent insensitivity, some subjects sure to anger some, while at the same time, make others laugh until they cry. The story about Mother Teresa going to hell due to a "clerical error", or the one where Jon Benet Ramsey, tells people not to cry about her brutal death, because she is happy with the angels now, are just a couple examples of what I am talking about. Just about no political/social group escapes the watchful eye of the Onion. The homosexual humor is extremely outrageous. I especially enjoyed how they "covered" a story regarding a homosexual man who saved a family from a fire. Even though the story should have been focusing on the brave rescue, the reporter kept mentioning the man's homosexuality every chance he got, showing a bit extremely, how news gets sensationalized. If you loved Our Dumb Century as much as I did and can handle some very extreme, and at times, sexually explicit humor and can take a joke, you will love this latest compilation from the Onion. It is highly hysterical reading.

Summary: Funny stuff, but in need of an editor
Review: The audiotape of "The Onion's Finest News Reporting" is mostly on the money, making me laugh out loud several times during the course of its one cassette. The laughs came from the short news items, however, NOT the long parodies of newspaper editorials which are inserted after every five or six news items. The editorials are endless and dull, and confuse the fact that an observation about something might be funny but having to experience it might not be; for example, the IDEA of someone delivering a ten-minute self-important editorial about something so NOT a part of our daily lives as robots might generate a chuckle, but to actually have to listen to such an editorial (as we do here) is agony. An editor worth his salt would have seen that stuff like that wasn't working and performed some needed cutting. But, as long as you don't have to pay too much cash for this, the audio is worth your time for the short news pieces, which are mostly hilarious.

Summary: Still sick, twisted stuff
Review: The Onion delivers a new book and not a moment too soon. I hadn't had a good, long, debilitating laugh in a few weeks and this collection of the Onion's finest work cured me in seconds. This collection features the Onion's typical incisive and warped stories (my favorite being the one on Russia's hottest game show, "Who Wants to Eat a Meal?") and also pieces by some of their finest columnists, including the Love Man himself, Smoove B. So I heartily recommend the book, unless you don't like tearing rib cartilage from laughing too hard.

Summary: Funny -- a great book!
Review: The Onion is so-o-o-o-o funny. It's my uplift each week. Entertaining, captivating, fun journalism. But head warning: This isn't your grandmother's produce.

Summary: A great representation...
Review: The Onion's writers have a rare gift for satire. Their eye for detail allows them to intricately parody not only current events, but the style of newspaper writing itself, particularly the watered-down news of USA Today. Their attention to form gives rise to headlines such as "Hero Firefighter: 'I'm a Hero,'" and "Life Unfair." The targets of their satire are wide-ranging, and their humor biting enough that the overly-sensitive and childrens' gift-givers may wish to steer clear. But those with a pragmatic sense of political correctness will be treated to laugh-out-loud content. This book serves as a nicely representative chunk of the Onion's recent years of publication, so both the uninitiated and the longtime fans will find something to appreciate. I have been privileged over the past few years to write a handful of headlines for the Onion (careful - they don't accept unsolicited stuff!), and althuogh none of my work is in this volume, I am proud to be associated with the body of work represented here.

Summary: a fun parody
Review: This book is absolutely hilarious! Be warned, it is only for people with a sense of humor, as the material is sometimes offensive. But most of it is parody, meaning humor with a social point
