Loading... Our Dumb Century: The Onion Presents 100 Years of Headlines from America's… (1999)by The Onion, Scott Dikkers, Mike Loew
Group F   gilsbooks | May 17, 2011 |  A typically humorous Onion look at the events of the 20th century. Most of it is spot on, but there are definitely some misses. The newspaper format works absolutely, as they have endeavored to change the look of the newspaper to match the newspapers of the era being spoofed. (  ) quantum_flapdoodle | Apr 15, 2011 | What is there to say about The Onion. You either adore them or really really Don't Get It. I happen to fall in the former camp, so I love the book. If you can only browse their website for a few minutes before sighing heavily, shaking your head, and closing the window, perhaps this book is not for you. ( ) bluedream | Dec 21, 2010 | Pretty damn funny. ( ) CarmenOhio | Jul 9, 2009 | A brilliant collection of satirical news stories from 'The Onion', documenting in retrospect events of twentieth-century America. Cleverly written and very funny, this book will appeal to anyone who appreciates intelligent satire, but especially those with an interest in history, who can pick out the humorous revisions of historical detail. The book can get a bit repetitive if read in large chunks, but it's a great item to have on your bookshelf to dip in and out of, and to share with those who have not yet discovered the joy of reading The Onion.
