When Rob and I were at Barnes & Noble last night, he motioned towards this book and said with a big ole grin, "now THIS is what you can get me for Christmas!!!" As my usual XMAS grinch was practically peeing his pants as he flipped from page to page, I made a mental note to add the book title to my shopping list. I had every intent to go back and secretly buy the book ... until they wronged me.
On the outside cover the book, it clearly reads "FREE GLOBE INSIDE". I like free stuff. Rob likes globes. This should be a win-win for the Smong family right? The Onion says no.
As he flipped through the pages, I asked Rob, "where's the globe?" Rob looks up, shakes his head in disgust and says "there is no globe." He looks down and continues to read. I poke him in the shoulder and say, "why isn't there a globe, the cover says free globe inside!" Rob smiles and continues to read. I slowly recall my first experience with the Onion and curse my own gullible nature.
----Chrissi's first experience with the Onion ---- as we were waiting in line for a burrito at my all-time favorite taqueria in SF (Gordos) ... I spied the front page article about jeans that came with an acid wash camel toe. I said to Rob, "jeans like that would be hideous" ... Rob laughed for the duration of our meal.
Why would anyone read (let alone publish) a fake newspaper??
The ONION bites. Stupid ONION.
