Something’s going on with the Onion. I have the link bookmarked, but it hasn’t worked for the past few days. If anyone else has been able to access it, can you pretty please post the link? Thanks in advance!

And what **is** going on with them, anyway? Going to paid subs, like us? Or what?

Erm. [http://www.theonion.com](http://www.theonion.com)

I think they’re doing a payment system, but you can still read some or most of it for free.

I can’t get it to load. At all. Thanks, though.

Works fine for me. Must be on your end.

Yeah, works great. I read it every week and haven’t heard anything about them going over to pay.
