The Onion rarely sets a foot wrong in my opinion. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54924#post-159675 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 22:21:57 +0000 Golgo13 159675@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Daily Mash still funny, Onion still best says Area Man. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54924#post-159046 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 20:59:02 +0000 DustyBinLaden 159046@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I need to take a closer look at the Onion. It's passed me by a bit. I did pick up a copy of their newspaper when I was in Chicago once, and it had a great story about Paul Simon nicking all his songs from other people. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54924#post-159029 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 19:43:32 +0000 waylandsmithy 159029@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>For me, it's the Onion. Really understated a lot of the time but normally excellent and clever. Don't always get all of the US references, though. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54924#post-159028 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 19:31:01 +0000 DustyBinLaden 159028@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p><blockquote><a href="http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/about" rel="nofollow">http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/about</a></blockquote></p> <p>Both 'proprietors' are pro journos, which would explain why some of their stuff is just insane enough to have been written either stoned or pissed, or both.</p> <p>Closed shop unfortunately.
