Between exam anxieties, cups of caffeine, and large amounts of multitasking, take a breather with some humorous fake news.
If you think college humor plus current events would be hilarious, turn to The Onion. It features stories with headlines like "Area Man Likes to Compare Circle of Friends to Cast of Lost" and "Educational Puppet Pelted with Crayons." The jokes don't stop from the front page, but everything is fabricated down to the sports section, magazine, except for maybe the contests. If you enjoy the humor on The Colbert Report and The Daily Show, you might find that TheOnion.com, which proclaims itself to be "America's Finest News Source," is a necessity in keeping up with current events.
The Onion, a printed weekly parody paper, has a website dedicated to the hilarious journalistic-like prose, which offers more frequent updates and cool video feeds.
For hardcore Onion fanatics, the website's online store has hoodies, coffee mugs, and just about anything else you'd need to spread the love for the hilarious news source, as well as free phone wallpaper and podcasts. You can also subscribe to receive a hard copy of the paper in the mail.
From local to international news and everything in between, enjoy TheOnion.com, but be sure to make sure that your roommate doesn't start believing that The Onion is real.
