Rating:
Summary: Progressive, Funny
Review: The Onion has got to be the most Progressive, anti-establishment news media without be real. They nail the issues on the "head" and "the Man" doesn't even know it

Rating:
Summary: Bombarded by humorous produce!
Review: THE ONION has been my primary source for news for going on ten years, and this book will keep me from ever having to touch newsprint again! Halleluia

Summary: A piognant look back on the century that was
Review: When it comes to looking at the past century, no one can provide a closer look than writers of the Onion. When reflecting on the twentieth century, the Onion's staff correctly points out that the only word to describe it, is "dumb." A masterpiece

Rating:
Summary: Flippin' HILARIOUS
Review: I just saw an advance copy of this. Remember back in the day when Doritos were only 2-dimensional? That was the 20th century. That IS this book

Rating:
Summary: Wrongly Misinformed
Review: I have problems with the historical integrity of this book. I mean, there are places in this book where they just get the facts totally wrong! They should have checked their sources a little more thoroughly on this one. I mean, is it acurately documented that "Truman Dropped Da Bomb; Celebrates With Forty Oz.?" What are the children going to think seeing Truman with a bottle of Old English Malt Liquor in his hand? In the future the people at the Onion should be a little more thoughtfu

Summary: Our Dumb Century Embodies All That Is Truly American!
Review: From sea to shining sea, from presidents to pizza delivery guys, The Onion has consistently outperformed the coverage of any other news publication in America. What is more impressive, The Onion's grasp on today's events or its amazingly historical perspective on defining what constitutes newsworthiness in our century? The Onion leaves you wanting more. Finally bound in convenient book form, The Onion may be transported from one location to the next. The importance of mobility can never be overestimated in our time. I love this book

Rating:
Summary: It must be banned! America is not ready for it.
Review: The Onion lives up to its name. I laughed so hard, I cried! Puts history in a new light. Humorous, irreverant, point blank, and even educational. What more can you ask for?

Rating:
Summary: Sadly, Replete with Inaccuracies
Review: Although extremely well written, much of this book's "history" of the last century is completely inaccurate. Simply put, most of the events chronicled did not occur. The book is entertaining, but I wish the authors had performed even the most rudimentary fact-checking

Rating:
Summary: Great bathroom reading
Review: This book will be so good I am going to keep it, rather than the bible, by my bed stand

Rating:
Summary: Devestating -- I was thrust upon the ground and lifted up.
Review: Invigorating, devestating, defenestrating... This book, though I have not read it yet, is certainly one of the most hilarious ever printed. Well worth your money, it will take us into the new millenium while at the same time not taking us into the new millenium. Audacious. Devious. Esoteric? I think not; more like Epic, Imperative, Honest and side-splitting-terror-inducing. Not for jerks
