webmeister: Jan 31, 2007; The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

This one's particularly great because it cut so deep for This American Life that they were forced to devote an act in their show to The Onion out of respect.

Chiming in a week late, but this was a really fascinating link, thanks! It actually highlights what I think is The Onion's biggest flaw - the headlines are hilarious but the article text often belabours the joke.

On topic, this is one of the first Onion articles I read and probably one of the funniest: Christ Returns to NBA

Have I gotten real good stopping the page before it fully loads or has The Onion removed the 5 articles per month for international readers restriction?

It was definitely still there for me when I was catching up on this thread yesterday.

I hate to cause a fuss or derail or anything, but I'm just curious, is there any way around the pay wall? besides the obvious.

Hit the Escape key just after the article loads and it'll stop the paywall pop-over from coming up.

Is he just in the wrong lane or is there something else to it?

He's moving onto the wrong side of the road because he isn't paying attention :thejoke:
