And beer, I would hope.
True story: Ben & Jerry’s accepts suggestions for new ice cream flavors. I filed a suggestion that they make a new flavor – anything with brownies – and name it “Heckuva Job, Brownie!” and donate profits to Katrina relief.
They did not call me back.

I always figured that was the most touching story the Onion ever did.
I’d vote for this one, from the same issue: God Angrily Clarifies ‘Don’t Kill’ Rule.
The best comment on that pic
‘A large sheet cake with plastic towers would have been more appropriate. That way you’re not eating through the towers in a way reminiscent of that terrible day.

For the answer to your last question, i submit this.
Knock knock
Who’s there?
911
911 who?
I thought you said you’d never forget?
Yeh, I’m in my handbasket.
One of the few truly funny knock knock jokes to ever make me laugh out loud.
I think this is possibly even more bizarre and hilarious than a 9/11 cake.
What kind of soup?
Yes. Not only eloquent and moving, but a damn sight better theologically than most pulpits put out after 9/11. It was this piece that made me realize The Onion’s acid humor is driven by a deep well of humanism, warped by despair.

Beautiful. I love it. Use the wing to cut the first tower, then crumple the second one with the tail…
I really liked both Onion articles. Who knew under all the snark there beat a heart?
