I love The Onion. They get sarcastic much better than anyone in America should. Their writings show an amazing amount of relation to true-to-life experiences (right now I have Grad Student Deconstructs Takeout Menu on my office door...and what could be more fitting for a culture studies guy?) or an ability to do tasteless without being too cheap (witness the brilliance of Anna Nicole Smith Finally Reaches Target Weight, put out shortly after her death).
For my money, though, their non-fiction offshoot The Onion A.V. Club is often better. Today, for instance, they had proof of their brilliance with this wonderful Primer to The Coen Brothers. I must find some way to see their new film immediately...I am now jonesing.
