Its home offices are in Chicago.

Rezensionen

Praise for OUR DUMB CENTURY: 'An especially clever lampoon of American ignorance.' - New York Magazine - 'This atlas finds ways to ridicule countries around the world....Each dig is more hilarious--and less politically correct--than the last.' - Wired - 'Irreverent and indispensable, Our Dumb World presents hokey, hilarious illustrated flag designs and dictator fashions as sidesplitting sidebars.' - Elle - 'Genius...the most consistently hilarious spot on the flogged dead horse of American comedy.' - Esquire - 'Makes its readers teary-eyed with laughter...The Onion gleefully offends, armed with a ... combination of puerility and intelligence.' - Washington Post
