Yes, by being American.

I'm not American.
I only got to read the hard copies for the first time in new york this summer.
Anyway, apparently you're only allowed to read 5 articles per month anymore.
Or is this only for dirty non-Americans?

It is possible to bypass the 5 per month thing by using the private surf mode in Firefox (probably works in Chrome etc. as well), then you can read 5 more and just reset by going out of and into it again!

thanks for this.
I probably should just buy a subscription, but if wasn't for this thread, I wouldn't even have read the onion anymore.

My favorite Clickhole series is "A Piece of History." However, only the latest one is tagged properly, so you have to go trawling through every JFK article to find them. Here they are from oldest to newest.
A Piece Of History: The Diving Board That JFK Died On After Trying To Do A Back Dive Is For Sale
A Piece Of History: The Treadmill That JFK Died Trying To Rollerblade On Is Coming To The Smithsonian
A Piece Of History: The Dryer JFK Died In After Getting Inside To Simulate Going To Space Is Coming To The Smithsonian
A Piece Of History: The Asteroid That Hit JFK In The Nuts So Hard He Died Will Be On Display At The Smithsonian For A Monthlong Exhibit
A Piece Of History: The Taffy Machine That JFK Died In Trying To Stretch Himself Into An NBA Player Is Finally Getting Its Own Exhibit At The Smithsonian
A Piece Of History: The Massive rear end Implants That Killed JFK During Botched Cosmetic Surgery Are On Display At The Smithsonian
