Customer Reviews

Great stuff, as usual

Hey, it's the Onion. I laughed all day. This is incredibly funny.

Still sick, twisted stuff

The Onion delivers a new book and not a moment too soon. I hadn't had a good, long, debilitating laugh in a few weeks and this collection of the Onion's finest work cured me in seconds. This collection features the Onion's typical incisive and warped stories (my favorite being the one on Russia's hottest game show, "Who Wants to Eat a Meal?") and also pieces by some of their finest columnists, including the Love Man himself, Smoove B. So I heartily recommend the book, unless you don't like tearing rib cartilage from laughing too hard.

One Of The Funniest books Ever!

If You like to laugh then I recomend you pick up this book right now, Funnier Than "Our Dumb Century", the first book put by the Onion. With Articles Like "Special Olympics Fixed" and "Amish Give Up", this may be the funniest book you will ever Read

Putting the High in Hilarious!

Don't be fooled by other imitators! I had never heard of TheOnion until someone turned me onto the Onion two months ago. I'mhooked and bought "Our Dumb Century" and just got my copy of "Finest News." Funnier than anything out there! Smarter than you think!

Every bit as funny as "Our Dumb Century"

If you have not read "The Onion" parody newspaper, then this is the perfect introduction. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard.(possibly when I read "Our Dumb Century" the first book in this series) The perfect gift for anyone who definately does not practice political correctness.
