The Onion

Like many urban hipsters, I read The Onion.

Okay, that’s a lie. I don’t read it. I read the headlines. That’s it. I also look at the infographics and the photo responses. And the A.V. Club is usually worth a read. But come on. Do I need to read the whole article?

It’d behoove The Onion to publish a shorter, one-page edition with just the headlines. I think I’d like that.

And, your funny tangental “scorned web designer story:” I once did work for a guy who was starting a new company. In the end, I did about 10-15 billable hours of work, and he dissolved the still-non-existant company to go work at The Onion‘s Chicago offices. He never paid me.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
