The Onion has a very creative staff. Funny and absurd.

Without a doubt the biggest waste of time I've ever heard. Aside from being repititious with constant self promotion, most of the "news" articles were completely tasteless with very little humor. Don't waste your time unless you enjoy juvenile "humor".

Could Use Some Editing

I'm a big fan of The Onion Weekly News so I looked forward to this CD. I enjoyed the news stories, but was it necessary to leave in the header on every single news story? You hear it over and over again and that takes away from the enjoyment. If that portion could be edited out of the next volumes they would be more enjoyable.

Amusing, but the presentation gets a bit monotonous. They could have done a better job of putting this together.
