Have you ever picked up a newspaper or turned on the nightly news, read the headline, and then thought to yourself, "Damn, who pays these guys?" If you have, then you have probably been craving all of your life a news source that will intrigue you. Yes, you want a paper that will intrigue, excite, titillate, and arouse you. Well I have some news for you, my friend: Your old paper isn't going to give you any of this, so throw it away. You read correctly. Don't even think twice about it; throw it right in the trash. Now that you've completed the most crucial step in this process, you must continue onto step two.
"What's step two?" You are probably dying to know by now. Well, I will tell you what step two is! Step two is going to Amazon.com and buying The Onion: Ad Nauseam (edited by Robert Seigal). That's just how good this book is. It will destroy any current event going on in the daily news, smash it to pieces, and then replace it with satirical stories of old news. If you haven't noticed already, this Ad Nauseam is a compilation of news stories written by the greatest newspaper in the world: The Onion. If you've never heard of The Onion before, it's a satire newspaper that takes current events and actually makes them interesting! An excellent example of this is an article on page 145 entitled, "Pope Forgives Molested Children." This article illustrates the fact that Catholic priests messed up big time, while still keeping the reader interested.
But oh no, it doesn't just make it interesting by making fun of it. The writers actually use their brains to create these masterful articles! From cats being stuck in trees to the titanic hitting the iceberg, these brilliant writers systematically make fun of everything going on in the world.
If you aren't already booting up your computer to logon to Amazon.com immediately, I'd recommend you do so now. Also, after you get back, you should go to theonion.com and purchase a year's subscription to their newspaper. Any money you have left, you can proceed to PayPal it to me for writing such a life-changing article about the greatest newspaper article compilation in history.
