The Onion is the world’s most popular humor publication, with more than 3.8 million weekly visitors to its website (theonion.com) and a print circulation of more than 500,000. More than a million copies of its various books have been sold to date, beginning with Our Dumb Century, which was a #1 New York Times bestseller and winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor.

From Booklist:

"The Onion's claim to being America' Finest News Source may have its tongue pressed firmly in cheek, but it is certainly America's most wryly ludicrous and, at times, the most honest. As expected, the usual stuffed shirts are given their fair share of lampooning ("Bush Vows to Eliminate U.S. Dependence on Oil by 4920," "Evangelical Scientists Refute Gravity with New 'Intelligent Falling' Theory"), but where the Onion really excels is in exposing the inner hilarity of your average nincompoop ("Investigators Blame Stupidity in Area Death," "Area Man Looking for Whatever the Hell Is Beeping"). The finest material comes from simply pointing out how a lot of people are really dumb, pathetic, and not at all heartwarming. Which is itself oddly reassuring. The fake news phenomenon has never been more culturally popular, and nearing its twentieth year, the Onion still ranks among its foremost stalwarts. This collection features the entire archive from November 2004 to December 2005, and while devotees will have already read most of the content, newcomers will be thrilled to titter over these headlines."
