    OK, but seriously? This is the funniest The Onion's been in years. The Yu Wan Mei website is going to get me through a slow workday today.

    Shall we place bets on the purchaser? I'm thinking CBS Interactive, since they seem to be desperate to purchase websites that their geeky teenage sons read (see: CNet, Last.FM, etc.).

    The unassimilated advertisements would still always be the butt of the joke when placed within The Onion. It doesn't seem they plan to alter their attitude to attract more lucrative marketers. I don't think the integrity of the paper would be compromised by allowing space for corporate imperialist megaplex X to advertise, it would just fall in route of "any exposure is good exposure" as they knowingly or not place their ads in a periodical that inherently mocks their products/services. Any veteran reader would be laughing at these moneypot placements from two pages away. I am willing to put up with more eyesores to keep the charade going. More articles about advertisements and junk mail wasting trees, please.

    Laying off 5 people definitely must be sad, but what about all the good people @ the onion that left or got forced out when the CEO arbitrarily decided the entire company (aside from editorial, natch) had to pick up sticks and move from NYC to Chicago for no reason?

    How about they get funnier? The news videos are often brilliant, but the stories are getting lamer. I think they peaked with "Holy Fucking Shit, America Under Attack"
