The Onion. No need for further explanation.

Me too. I seriously go to The Onion for news. I started doing it as a joke, but then realized what people want to laugh about gave a much more honest picture of what people actually cared about on a daily basis. I live outside the USA so it's not otherwise obvious to me. It truly is America's Finest News Source.
