Totally. There was an interview with some writers who said the did, occasionally, not run an article because it goes too far. One example was an article they were thinking about for the 9/11 issue, "Country Safe For Now, Says Top Quadragon Officials."
Priceless.
Yeah, I love The Onion. I've been reading it for over a decade. And actually I think the Onion's sister paper, The AV Club, is the best pop media website out there. I'm a total fanboy, basically.
I think my #1 all-time favorite Onion headline was from right after Gene Siskel died: "Ebert Victorious."
