The History Of Renting
2008-05-14 17:20:00 The Onion, gives us a captivating story of Blockbuster’s cold hard look into the past. They show how the rental business used to require people to actually leave their homes and rent movies at a store. It’s so crazy to think how far we’ve come, and how the internet has really made a difference.

ABC sinks to new low in debate, but record won?t stand for long
2008-04-17 21:18:00 I missed last night’s “debate” between Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. From what I can tell this morning, that was the smartest thing I did all day. I’ve read a good bit about it and seen some video and it looks like what transpired in Philadelphia may have been a new low-water mark in American journalism. Let’s see what people are saying. We’ll start at Crooks & Liars, which has video of the debacle. Next let’s check in at the ABC “News” Web site, where the network’s viewers are still engaging in one of the bloodiest nard-stompings I’ve ever seen. Nearly 16,000 comments as I write, and the consensus is not a happy one. SenateGuru explains why G-Steph should be embarrassed. Yes, Charlie, the crowd is turning on you. Because you’re a joke. Jack & Jill Politics called it a “freak show,” a “disgrace” and “a great disservice to the American people a...

THE ONION PREDICTS A 5 BLADE GILLETTE AFTER MACH 3
2008-03-09 17:13:00 Gillette could come out with a 5 blade shaving machine to beat out competition that is catching fast! This is what The Onion humorously predicts in its story "Fuck Everything, We are doing 5 blades" as a note from James Kilts, CEO of Gillette:The Gillette Mach3 was the razor to own. Then the other guy came out with a three-blade razor. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the Mach3Turbo. That's three blades and an aloe strip. For moisture. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened—the bastards went to four blades. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling three blades and a strip. Moisture or no, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to five blades....Here's the report from Engineering. Someone put it in the bathroom: I want to wipe my ass with it. They don't tell me what to invent—I tell them. And I'm telling them to stick two mo...
The Onion asks about biofuels negative effect on the environment
2008-03-05 21:04:00 Whether it's the University of Minnesota losing biofuel research funding or the UK government asking for more information before moving forward, the critical report in Science has had quite an impact on the public's thinking about ethanol and biodiesel. Even if the distinction between cellulosic or algae biofuels and biofuel made from things like corn are not totally understood by everyone, a bad rap is settling in. The fake news reporters over at The Onion have found three people to give their opinion on what it all means. One's off to the right, the others are available in yesterday's American Voices section.

Our Dumb World: The Onion's Atlas of the Planet Earth, 73rd Edition (H
2008-01-29 17:42:00 SeeTheGlobe.com Travel Article :: This book is seriously funny. I got it as a present recently and it does not cease to amuse me. Not that it takes much anyway. The format of the atlas is similar to atlases many of us have grown up with. There are descriptions of all countries of the world, detailed maps, their brief histories, what they might be known for, a few token photographs and drawings. When you start reading though, it gets interesting. This is not ye olde geography book. You will learn such important fasts like which country is the center of the universe, which one is the bridebasket of Europe and which one is dubbed the land of opportunism. The humor in this book is completely insensitive to the national pride of any country or any historical event (no matter how gruesome) so if you are easily affected by that kind of prose, maybe it is not the perfect book for you. I cannot believe, however, that you would not end up laughing in a major way after reading through severa...

'The Onion' Decides to (Almost) Hire Bullshattuck
2007-12-11 02:00:00 Dear faithful Bullshattuck readers and Marty Hood: Before you read the rest of this post, please watch the following video: "Now why," you may ask yourself, "was I asked to watch this video?" "Because," I tell people who ask themselves questions, "there's a possibility that Bullshattuck may be hired to write for The Onion." (For those of you whom aren't familiar with The Onion, hang your head in shame and read about The Onion on Wikipedia) Yep. Approximately two months ago, I naively sent The Onion my resume. Approximately four days ago, they responded by saying they were interested, and would I please fill out this application so that they may consider me as a writer for their Onion News Network. I have until Wednesday to return my application. Until that time, I'll probably only be blogging once a day or so. But rest assured... there's a small possibility that in the near future, you may be reading an article by Bullshattuck in The Onion. In the meanwhile, enjoy this ...

Blogs - The Onion tells it like it is
2007-11-28 17:40:00 Michael at TechCrunch caught this Onion story, which really is telling about why blogs really aren’t as great as everyone says.

Personally, I don’t think there’s anything wrong ...

Smells Like The Onion to Me
2007-09-19 15:10:00 Another old stand by when it comes to favorite places to visit when bored at work has to be The Onion. I have been reading this online faux "newspaper" for years. The stories are very imaginative, and every section of a ordinary newspaper is covered in an anything but ordinary way. The Onion has even branched out with video news that can be accessed through the site as well. Have to love the logo. The onion is published every Wednesday, and for those who prefer the paper version (maybe for some light reading in a room with no computer) for under $40 U.S. (prices higher for non U.S addresses) you can have 52 weeks of the paper delivered to your house.

Is Barry Bonds the Feel Good Story of the Summer? [J. Mark English]
2007-07-28 04:56:00 The parody website, the Onion, asks this question with its latest posting of sharp whit. Enjoy:Although Barry Bonds remains the target of criticism over his possible?some say almost certain?use of performance-enhancing substances, the fact that Bonds has not been implicated in dogfighting, nightclub shootings, gambling, or murdering his family has transformed his controversial pursuit of the all-time home-run record into the feel-good sports story of the summer."Until we have definitive proof one way or the other, the very presence of so many questions about Bonds and steroids will haunt his achievements forever," ESPN's Peter Gammons said Monday. "However, at this moment, I think we'd all have to agree that having a raging juiced-up misanthrope break the greatest record in sports is a ray of sunshine compared to everything else on the sports page.""What kind of person electrocutes dogs, let alone fights them?" Gammons added. "I simply can't comprehend it. Go, Barry!"While Bonds...

Peeling the Onion - Every layer is great
2007-01-06 22:38:00 I don't know if most people who use onions everyday are like me, but I certainly take this gift of nature that is practically an everyday essential for granted. This post for this weeks weekend herb blogging is an acknowledgement of that ommision to give credit to this multilayered object that features in various ways in my cooking. Weekend Herb Blogging is back in its original home at Kalyn's Kitchen , for this weekend.Anyhow, I checked the nutritional lowdown on the onion and the prognosis was pretty good.So now down to cooking it, I actually put together a chicken pulao, made with some leftover Kadhi from yesterday. A simple meal in a dish recipe sealed together by the browned onions.
