The Onion


Everyone reads a paper everyday, whether you subscribe to it 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 newstories. 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, they have 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. They cover 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 Warped site rating for this site is 7.5. It is a site that shows some promise, but stil has a ways to go.
