Wow. It's like a mobius strip!

Anyway. I laughed when I saw that picture of "Biggles."

[Canadave]

When was the last time the Onion did anything "real"?

Anyway, this is great. I have a sudden craving for fish, though...

The Onion shall now be known as the #8 with pork and noodles.

As the .. publisher of this news-paper, it is my duty..to inform you .. readers that I have sold The Onion .. to a syndicate of industrious China-men from the deepest heart of the Orient.

Read some of the recent articles and, more notably, watch some of the more recent videos. It's about as real as a $3 bill. The question is how long will they be "under this ownership." There's only so many "Chinese people like fish" jokes one can do.

Around the time Star Trek premièred

It was only a matter of time that The Finest News Source would do such a thing since leaving the midwest.

I sent this to my friend on the Chinese mainland, thinking that she wouldn't be able to get through. Surprisingly she did, and found it funny. She also said "It sounds like Chinese newspapers a little bit". Heh.

I found it funny too.

We gotta buy it back!
