The Onion Ad Nauseam: Complete News Archives, Volume 13

Great book... while I'm not a fan of every article in the Onion (some of them take religion way too far), there is no denying that the majority of their stuff is downright loopy and sure to make you bust a gut. They update their website theonion.com every Wednesday, and I'm always there. Now you can get some of their "greatest hits" in the form of this book. It is important to note that you won't find every article in this book on their website, and that really supports the argument to get this book.Be sure to check out "Congress Holds Weekend Trust-Building Retreat", "Supportive Gay Friend to Counsel American People on Ways of Romance", and "Hilarious Love Letter Found in Street" among others. If you are brand new to the Onion, you won't find it in this book, but you could search on the Internet for "Holy...!, Man Walks on ... Moon". That's really a great place to start.One other thing to note -- rather than just get this book, there is also a 3-pack of Onion books. They really aren't priced much more than this book. It's called "The Onion Platinum Prestige Encore Gold Premium Collector's Collection" and the ISBN is 1400049059.

There is absolutely no white space in this layout! Ad Nauseum is packed cover to cover with pages packed top to bottom with great Onion-isms. This book will take anyone a year to complete! Plus-you learn a great new word-ad nauseum (or is that 2?)

In a time when picking up a newspaper will present you with just about any horror story imaginable (terrorists, nuclear war, snipers, child abductors), nothing is as much of an antidote as The Onion. I have been following this mock-newspaper ever since Dispatches From The Tenth Circle, and I have never once been disappointed. This volume begins a new series that chronicles all of The Onion's stories in the past year. Open it up to ANY page, and you are guarenteed at least one laugh, if not multiple fits of laughter. Articles range from ground-breaking front-page news ("No Jennifer Lopez News Today"), to Opinion pieces ("I Bet I Wouldn't Be Laughing So Hard If It Was Me In That Fire"), to advice columns ("Ask A Man Getting Yelled At By His Wife Over The Phone At Work"), plus horoscopes, infographs, and tips for everything from pet care to toy safety. It's everything you have ever wanted in a newspaper, but could never get because, let's face it, the news is getting worse all of the time. And included in this volume is the amazing coverage of post 9/11 (with articles such as "Hijackers Surprised To Find Selves In Hell"). While we almost feel as though we should be offended by them making light of such a tragedy, The Onion does it in such a way that it actually makes us feel better. It's always nice when something puts a smile on your face, and that's exactly what this book does. Most of the time you don't even have to read the articles - sometimes just reading the headlines is humor enough. If you have not yet read anything from The Onion, I am urging you to do so, because you will not be disappointed. However, I will say that The Onion's humor is NOT for everyone, and anyone who is easily offended will probably find this book to be despicable. But for everybody else, it's just a great pick-me-up.

One of the most unique styles of comedy. This is the complete news archives of Vol 13. You can not find this stuff anywhere else unless you horded every single issue from October, 2000 to October, 2001. I bought the book just as I have every other Onion book, and this is the best yet. Buy it today, you will not regret it.

The Onion has done it again!After three hysterical releases of Our Dumb Century, Finest News Reporting, and (my personal favorite) Dispatches From the Tenth Circle, The Onion has published a cry-out-loud-it's-so-funny book filled with satire on many subjects-ranging from September 11th (Hijackers Surprised to Find Selves in Hell) to religion (God Diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder) to fast food (Developmentally Disabled Burger King Employee Only Competent Worker). However, if you are easily offended, don't buy this book. Somewhere or other within these 264 pages of sheer brilliance, you will get offended. Otherwise, buy it without a doubt, as well as the other Onions. You won't be disappointed.
