Summary: The Best book in the history of the western canon!
Review: Forget Joyce, fillet Faulkner, you want to know my feeligns about Kafka compred to this? The best book in the history of western civilization! The philosophy of Big Bird, the hip-hop of Mozart, the pie recipies of Jean-Paul Sarte mean nothing compared to this! God, this stuff is more insightful than those kooky rants of that Jesus guy! Buy Buy Buy! Live live live! Hold it close to your head at night and let it drip through and into your dreams! How about a dream about OJ Simpson running after you with golf clubs, or that whole Clinton/Lewinsky panty raid party! now now now!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Laughed harder than I have in at least a decade!
Review: While the humor is sometimes dark, sometimes discomforting, it always seems to reveal something true about our past. Laughter gives us such great perspective!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic! I only wish our Kosovo had such a book.
Review: What a wonderful tome! I have learned a great deal about the fantastic country that is assisting us in our time of need. It is a good thing to learn the glorious and chequered past of another nation! I must admit, however, that I am somewhat confused by the recent Onion headline, "Single Marine Sent Back In Time to Resolve Kosovo Crisis: Will Assasinate Ottoman Emperor in 1389 A.D.". While I much applaud your nation's apparent ingenuity in handling this crisis, I must question the historical accuracy of The Onion's editors, and perhaps the judgement of the U.S. Military...certainly they are aware that the reason the Ottoman Sultan Murad I overran Serbia in 1389 is precicely because a Serb assasinated Murad's father? Unless the U.S. wants the warrior Murad II as an enemy they should rethink their brilliant time traveling plans! But an otherwise wonderful book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The single funniest book in decades.
Review: Just what I said.

This book is genius. The creators should be praised and given our nation's attention. They're hilarious, and if you like dark, intelligent humor, this book is for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Give those men two dollars!
Review: Since its 1994 inception as the humor section of the AV Club Weekly Entertainment Magazine, the Onion has consistently dished up some of the deepest, most brilliant true satire anywhere. Our Dumb Century will leave readers wondering "Where do these guys get their ideas?" The amount of bile, inspired bitterness, and just plain hatred on these dense, beautifully designed pages is heartwarming. The Onion writers all deserve to get rich off this masterwork, or at least have office manager Andrew buy them a new halogen lamp and dry-erase board.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A good solid piece of comedy
Review: Speaking as a writer of humor/satire/parody (most recently, Scratching the'Net: Web Sites for Cats - a book answering the question, "What would the internet look like if it were run by cats?"), I appreciated the quality humor writing that went into "Our Dumb Century." And this is not one of those "one-joke-per-page" books - it has a lotta laughs for the money, which is the right way to do comedy books! Here's hoping that the future holds even dumber things for the good folks at the Onion to skewer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Onion Fans Enjoy Still Unreleased Book via ESP
Review: BOSTON, MA--Almost 30 fans of underappreciated Wisconsin-based publication THE ONION are raving about "Our Dumb Century," a book of parody newspaper articles written by the staff of the humor/arts weekly that will not even be commercially available until April. "What a bunch of f----g lemmings," said Onion fan Ric Dube, of Boston. "I love the Onion as much as anyone, but I'm not saying s--- about the book until I read it." Dube would not comment on whether he planned to buy the book from Amazon.com, but did say that their discount price was the lowest he'd seen among retailers.

Summary: Love the book, hate the uniform
Review: The delivery man brought the book to my house. Sadly, the uniform he wore was an atrocity of all things fashionable. The people at the book shop wear nicer clothes most of the time.

Rating: 5 stars
