Easily their best since the election. My favorites were the one about George Bush Sr. telling W about how he funded OBL in the 80’s and the MTV listing for the show “Carson Daly In Way Over His Head”.
I thought that they did an excellent job, especially the infographic on ways to make America safer:
Before boarding plane, all passengers must be born-again and baptized
Sam’s Club supersaver cards no longer acceptable form of ID for airline check-in
All commercial flights to taxi to their destination
I thought it was tasteful and ironic without being crude. Excellent work all around, especially the “God Angrily Clarifies Don’t-Kill Rule” piece.
Um…you are aware that the Onion began as a print publication as continues as such? Remember those? They’re like a tree-fiber based PDA you can fold up and put in yr back pocket. Only drawback is the inky stains on your fingers…You can order a subscription or find one at yr local bookstore (Border’s in my town carries it). And you can buy any one of three Onion books.
As for this week’s issue…that took balls. Even Jon Stewart can’t bring himself to make light of these events. The Onion’s true strength has always been it’s abilty to turn current events into humorous fodder by simply amplifying the truth…
While we Dopers came up with some very good headlines, we didn’t always do a good job of staying within the bounds of good taste. And there were a couple where we both came up with basically the same concepts. But more importantly, the Onion did an excellent job of filling in the fine details.
I also think that The Onion didd a very nice job.
http://www.nationallampoon.com was very funny as well.
Dangit! Wednesday I couldn’t get the Onion at all (just the titlebar and a banner ad) and today (Thursday) I can only get the front page ad all the links take me to “page can’t be found.” Why does the Onion hate me so? I can’t even link to the Lee jeans ad!
That was awesome, every little bit of it. Especially the God article – that was brilliant. I’ll also admit to getting a bit teary-eyed at it – reading the Onion, of all things! (Plus I think the guy across from me in the computer lab was looking at me strangely.)
Oh, and I have to agree with xanadu. I’d have liked to see more on the subject of Jerry Falwell being a dick… 
Hell yeah I remember. I remember when the thing first appeared as four page newspaper in Madison, Wisconsin. I remember mostly picking it up for the coupons to Taco John’s at the time. They just showed up all over the place one day atround 1987-88. My recollection was that it wasn’t particularly funny at first, but I think it just took them some time to find their “voice”. I think it is brilliant now
It must be amazing to get 28 (29 including mine) dopers agreeing on the same question.
They did a great job. I wonder if that Muslim description of hell was accurate.
They got it pretty good. Ilbris is the Satan of Islam, that’s what I picked up off hand.
I think they meant uniformed, as in it’s not really a debate since everyone has the same feelings on the subject.
Oh, no wait, they fixed it. It’s “uninformed” now.
OK, who’s the editor-in-chief of The Onion? I now know who I’m voting for for vice-president in three years.
Max Zweibel, of course.
Why don’t you write him a letter? 
I liked the security improvement:
Airlines to add “Are you a terrorist?” to list of pre-flight questions.
The “surprised to be in hell” article bore a striking similarity to an editorial cartoon that ran last week in the Daily Californian, student newspaper at UC-Berkeley.
I’d provide a link if I could find one…the cartoon shows two terrorists, one saying “oh boy, now we’ll meet Allah, get serviced by 74 virgins…” and the other is just noticing that they’re in hell. It caused a mild protest, as the terrorists in the cartoon were depicted in typical Muslim/Afghani dress. Apparently it’s stereotyping to point out the obvious.
So either inspiration, plagiarism, or a coincidence at work.
I too thought it was fantastic, especially the God article. I was trying very hard not to laugh out loud and failing.

Given that a doper suggested the same story in our examples, I’d guess the latter. It was very well-written, but a fairly obvious gag.
The lastest issue of Newsweek includes an interview with editor Robert Siegel. He reports that a headline they decided not to use for the 9/26 issue was “America Stronger Than Ever, Say Quadragon Officials”.
