The Onion —

The Onion is a hilarious twist on the dull everyday news. This newspaper is published every week and instead of reporting on real news, it reports on fake news, inspired by real news stories.

This paper is definitely not for everyone, as it does use foul language and some of the stories may be offensive to some. It's also not intended for readers under 18, so it's not kid-friendly.
