I bought this as a Christmas present for my fiance'. He absolutely LOVED it. I can't believe how little I paid for it, and it was in MINT condition!

HILARIOUS!!!

This box set is HILARIOUS! The three books (Our Dumb Century, The Onion's Finest News Reporting, Dispatches From the Tenth Circle) that are in here are all great. I challenge you to read this, and not laugh! I bought this as a gift for my friend, and we just died laughing everytime we read any of it. It is just the best!It's also a really good price, and makes a great gift. If you know anyone who loves The Onion, or any similar types of humor, I totally recommend this!

Great gift for the person who has everything.

If you have a saracastic sense of humor (or know someone who does) this is great! If you like the Daily Show, get these. These books are so funny. I would recommend this book to anyone who is in need of: good, hardy laughter, the perfect present, or an interesting set of books. This is truly a great set and a great value.

The Onion Platinum Prestige Encore Gold Premium Collector's

I've reading The Onion since it was a freebie paper in southern Wisconsin and worried it would lose it's edge when it went national...NOT AT ALL. Though not for the easily offended, it is laugh-out-loud, wet-your-pants funny as well as dead center in it's satire of life in these United States.

I laughed, I cried, I lost all motor coordination!

A longtime fan of The Onion, I bought this set for a friend's birthday. Our birthday dinner in a sedate restaurant ended up with five of us reading headlines out loud, laughing so loud that we were reprimanded by the staff. Cynicism lives!
