The Onion
You probably read a paper every day, whether it’s subscribed to or not. You might find it laying around the office or the lunchroom, or even have it delivered to your home. You may read it online. But someplace you are reading written news stories. Today’s Warped site lets you read the news, but it is presented in a slightly different, more mature way.
The name of the site is The Onion, the self-proclaimed America’s Finest News Source. Here you will read mainstream stories, but not quite the way your local paper would publish them. For example, one headline reads “Chicago Rolls Out Cold-Weather Prostitutes.” Or “Boxing Gym Gives Inner City Youths An Opportunity to Punch Each Other Indoors.”
Sports, it has sports. “Ohio State Defeats Michigan 42-39 in Ultimately Meaningless Game,” or “Jimmie Johnson Forgives Lug Nut That Almost Cost Him Nextel Cup.” Like I said, it news with a different twist. It covers entertainment, international news, and business among other topics. Think of this as CNN with a warped sense of humor, and a low set of moral values.
The Warp-o-Meter gives this site 7.5. It is a site that shows some promise, but still has a ways to go.
