Surely faithful Onion-reading Dopers recall this classic Onion article.
I nearly shot cold Dr Pepper through my nose when I saw the last News In Brief article this week (here, scroll to bottom).
Have they done any other previous-gag referenceing like this?
Truly, a sad day. Hopefully, the man will do the right thing and return the artifact to its true owners…
I had not seen that earlier article when I read this week’s Onion – those poor kids! I remember when my best friend Joey and I first let his little brother see the Penthouse Joey had swiped from their dad several months earlier. We kept it in the knot of a tree in the woods next door to his house.

“Always, always vaginas.” Reminds me of finding a cache of Adam magazines in the California desert when I was 15. Ah…
I still have the same feelings every month when my Playboys come in the mail. It is my dirty little pleasure/secret.
Yeah, I caught that. Pretty funny.
Are we still talking about the magazine?
Nay, I say to you! If it is returned to its True Owner, he will gain dominion over all of Middle Earth! It must be destroyed in the same fiery realm where it was first forged!
“One Vagina to rule them all, One Vagina to find them,
One Vagina to bring them all and in the darkness bind them…”

Oui was the Cadillac of purloined nudie mags when I was a kid. The fact that they use Oui makes the whole article that much funnier.
Playboy: Meh.
Penthouse: Good.
Hustler: Better.
Oui: Le meilleur.
The whole running gag aspect of it kinda makes me wonder if maybe the Onion staff has a copy of that, uh, seminal work of photography floating about their HQ somewhere…
caveman, have you been reading my mind? Because I was thinking about starting a thread about exactly the same thing when I saw that last week.
When I was in Boy Scouts there was a rumor that the son of our Scoutmaster had hidden a cache of girlie magas in the building we met in. So our pack (a “squad” of five or six guys who were a subunit of the troop) held a Saturday meeting. Our first and only agenda item: find those girlie mags! We did, too! Some were hidden in a vent, some were hidden in atop some very high cabinets. We divvied them up, smuggled them home when our parents came to pick 'em up, and promptly hid and lost them all. though there were rumors for years afterwards of caches of girlie mags in plastic bags to be found in the woods behind our homes.
There’s a merit badge for porn hunting, ain’t there?
There should be. There should also be merit badges for arson.
