what is this website?
Permalink Closed

I just by accident found a very strange news website. It looks like fake news or sort of a parody of things in the news.  Is anyone familiar with it?   http://www.theonion.com/content/

I love The Onion! They have been around a long time. They do a print version too.

They do a print version in Chicago, I could be wrong but I believe it's a local Chicago thing. I love it, it's hysterical

Is it fake news though?  Most of it has to be.

Some of it's real (I believe some of the entertainment), some it's imaginary, and most of it is satirical in nature. It's meant to be funny. It's distributed in many cities across the country and you can subscribe to it no matter where you live. And yes, it's hysterical.

OMG, I love this paper.  It originated in Madison, WI but is now published in other cities as well.  Wikipedia sums it up perfectly, as usual.
