Book Reviews of The Onion Ad Nauseam: Complete News Archives Volume 14
Book Review: For Those Who Enjoy a Dose of "Involuntary Laughter!"
Summary: 5 Stars
Why do I love "The Onion" compilations? Because I can begin browsing through an edition in a bookstore with the intent of obtaining a chuckle or two, only to find that I am doubled over laughing at articles so insensitive and oh-so very wrong! The Onion produces, in individuals, priceless moments when we laugh hysterically while begging ourselves "Stop laughing, this is vile, and NOT FUNNY!"
For those of you who have yet to encounter The Onion, it is a satirical newspaper that attacks virtually everyone ---people both real and imaginary--- and mocks their most cherished political, religious, and domestic beliefs. Everybody and their brothers are humorously assaulted here: neither the liberal nor conservatives, rich nor poor, powerful nor pitiful are spared. The Onion is the rare case of an orchestrated Guajardian paper-raid. If The Onion were a newspaper delivered by the old-school bike-peddling paper boy, he might as well be chucking grenades upon the neighborhood doorsteps!
This particular edition is my personal favorite dishing of The Onion's inappropriate humor, with the crowning glory appearing on page 49 under the headline "Developmentally Disabled Senator Wants To Be Treated Like Any Other Lawmaker." You will probably not go to Heaven after reading that story. Articles that come close to this humor ratio include "Man Dies After Long And Painful Battle With Life" on page 21, and "Children, Creepy Middle-Aged Weirdos Swept Up In Harry Potter Craze" on page 25.
There are plenty of other great targets in this edition, from Smurf collectors to Bar-Trivia Champs to celebrity stalkers to celebrities.
Every compilation The Onion has issued is excellent, but "Ad Nauseam" is their finest publication!
