My favourite Onion

I knew The Onion had gone through a site redesign recently, but I don’t really have time to read it and so never checked it out. Today I thought I would take a look. Man, that site is good shizzle! Besides the usual great headlines like Voice Of God Revealed To Be Cheney On Intercom they have updated their archives to include every article since the beginning of mankind. YES! Once I realized this I started searching for my favourite Onion article ever, a Point-Counterpoint article where they reference my beloved Economist. This is the greatest debate ever:

According To The Economist, NASA Is An Industrial Subsidy In Disguise

That beats out my second fave Onion article, God Finally Gives Shout-Out Back To All His Niggaz.

What is your favourite Onion?

God Answers Crippled Boy's Prayer. "'No," Says God.

A classic.

My favorite was God diagnosed with bipolar disorder. It really helped bring perspective to the Almighty punishing the homosexuals in San Francisco, the gamblers in Las Vegas, and the jazz enthusiasts in New Orleans by destroying Manhattan.

Kushibo: that is HILARIOUS.

My favorites:

Point: "Homeless people want a hand up, not a hand out."
Counterpoint: "I want a handout!"

Point: "European men are so sophisticated!"
Counterpoint: "American women are so easy!"

That's a tough one.

Top three:

3) "Archaeological Dig Uncovers Ancient Race Of Skeleton People"

(The artist's rendering is classic)

2) "Dolphins Evolve Opposable Thumbs; 'Oh, Shit,' Says Humanity"

_I believe I speak for the entire human race when I say, 'Holy fuck,'" said Oceanographic Institute director Dr. James Aoki, noting that the dolphin has a cranial capacity 40 percent greater than that of humans. "That's it for us monkeys._

1) "Marxists' Apartment A Microcosm Of Why Marxism Doesn't Work"

This is the best Onion story EVER!

how did I leave that out of my first comment? ;-)

find of the day: "God Angrily Clarifies 'Don't Kill' Rule"

"I guess I figured I'd left no real room for confusion after putting it in a four-word sentence with one-syllable words, on the tablets I gave to Moses. How much more clear can I get?"

Maybe the joke makes more sense in Hebrew, since it's actually don't _murder_.
