Another thing about the Onion: I feel like it used to be weekly, and now it's not anymore; it's just when they feel like it. And I really don't like having to go through the mini-articles (I forget what they're called) one by one, loading a new page and a bunch of advertisements at the same time. Although, yeah, I guess I shouldn't be complaining because it's free, but it just doesn't have the same spirit it used to. I really don't spend much time on that site anymore.
They did, however, have a really funny article on my hometown:
Oh jeez. I just went to look it up in their archives and it requires a freaking paying subscription. Screw that! "Back in my day, I could look in their archive for free!" Seriously. Man, that was one of my favorite articles too. It was during the 2000 presidential race, with Gore vs Bush, and it has Gore visiting Altoona, PA and making fun of it up and down. Ah well, life goes on.
