disagree, seems the true intention of the joke is not lost on dell, in fact if i may be so bold as to suggest that it appears he is a viking at 'getting it'

obviously its a joke about stock images -- i dont think that means its explicitly parodying the ny mag's use of stock images though

OK this is weird, I know the guy in this photo!

(And actually, Mordy does, too. Turns out the photo was taken when he was touring the Onion offices with a group of ¥3$h1v@ students last year.)

"This is an abhorrent waste of federal funds," Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform said of Obama's May 13 video, timestamp. "How can a man overseeing the largest deficit in history justify spending our hard-earned money on some artsy video of him signing the same bill over and over again for 14 straight hours as the distant sound of children's laughter grows in intensity until it becomes unbearably loud and then the entire thing ends with footage of an atom bomb going off? It's just despicable."

"Do we really want our tax dollars going toward something so clearly derivative of Sadie Benning's early works?" Norquist added.

CORRECTIONS: Actor Peter Sarsgaard's name was misspelled in a photo caption accompanying a story about the upcoming release of Green Lantern. We were unaware that our readers knew how to spell his name correctly. The Onion regrets the error.

"It's called 'Steely Dan Radio,' for Christ's sake—why does he keep skipping over Donald Fagen's 'The Nightfly'?"

"Here's a guitar. Go write your own damn song, but don't come back crying to us if it sucks."

Awesome and timely.

that article kind of almost made me move yesterday.

15+ people on my facebook feed all shared it

stuff is always less funny when other people find it funny

"nobody goes there any more, it's too popular"

lol NYC slideshow

the funniest quote is Woody Allen's

Hmmm, where previously there would be one "Continue to The Onion »" advert on first entering the site, I'm now having to click through this on every link to a text article. I understand they need to advertise, but this really annoying. (AV Club is affected by this too).

"IS really annoying".

I clicked the last 5 links above here and did not see this - I'm using Firefox & Adblock Plus

Yeah - it's ok again on mine too (Firefox, no Adblock though). Must have been a glitch - every ad was for the Onion Store, and whilst I love the "chocaholic but for booze" t-shirts it was a little grating.

true, except with the letter setting rather than landscape.

this week's print edition has an article about a guy bragging about his special biking socks that gets really weird and awesome about 2/3rds of the way through, but it doesn't appear to be on the website?

http://www.theonion.com/articles/cyclist-friend-explains-necessity-of-35-socks,18259/

keep reading

ok lol

i started to read that in the paper version the other day and stopped about a third into it because i was like "i get it, cyclists are gear dweebs who believe in special socks" and figured it would do the usual "onion spends a lot of column inches on a joke that works better as a headline" thing

it took a minute to figure out where it was going.

HOLY SHIT at Satra Paich here

haaa

Moral of the story: read all of it.
