Onion copyright infringement

Undertoad · 08-27-2003, 09:12 AM

When the Onion was at its peak in the late 90s, I routinely stole the little headline image boxes just for yuks. Here are all the ones I stole, presented in a single page format for your reading pleasure. If you like these I encourage you to buy the Onion dead-tree books which contain all their finest hilarity.

The cat one was my favorite. I remember it from a while ago.

I had a subscription to the Onion, but after the fire I kind of just let it lapse. I plan to start it up again soon. Well worth the money.

And yes, the books rule. So does the site. The Onion is probably my favorite thing overall on the internet.

Fiona Apple pushed me into the audible. A coworker was concerned about the strange sounds I made.

The one that got me laughing out loud was "Diet Surge targets overweight snowboarders". I could just imagine these big pudgy snowboarders falling down all over a mountain in a commercial for it. Ah. I was laughing my ass off.

"Wheelchair Basketball Game Enjoyed For All The Wrong Reasons" was a great one.

My all-time favorite of their one-liners didn't have an accompanying picture: "Pedophile Judge Tries Minor As Adult".
