For some reason, I don't find The Onion funny at all. I may chuckle at some of their headlines, but their articles are incredibly tedious to read. Does anybody actually find that site funny?

I agree, but who told you to read the articles? I just read the headlines, and about 1 in 3 are gold. I'm not going to eat just apple-cores and banana-skins and then abandon all fruit because it tastes starchy.

Onion had some great articles. I think my favorite was "Office Ninja Flips Out, Kills 20."

My thoughts exactly. It is insanely mediocre humor.

I think the Onion had its peak three or four years ago. The headlines are still funny as is the news in brief, but the main articles are getting tedious now. Too bad you have to pay for all the good content now, like "GM Introduces Instant-Win Airbags", "Study Reveals: Babies Are Stupid", and "Three or Four Dudes Just Start Whaling On This One Guy".

My favorite Onion headline, mainly because they had the guts to do it:

New York City to install infant-only dumpsters

I must say that this is the best headline:

"Eight lb man found in area woman's vagina"

Birth never sounded so weird and strange to me.
