Subject: The Onion does it again.
Written By: Foo Bar on 09/07/06 at 12:27 am
Five years ago, The Onion came within a hair's breadth of a Pulitzer for its post-9/11 coverage:

("God Angrily Clarifies 'Don't Kill' Rule" is my personal favorite, with "Hijackers Surprised To Find Selves In Hell" as a close second, but the whole issue is some of their best writing ever)
On the fifth anniversary, I'd say they're up for another shot at it with this little gem:
"NYC Unveils 9/11 Memorial Hole"

The Onion: Because the truth won't make you laugh if it can't also make you cry.

My personal favorites (not 9/11 related) are:
"God Finally Gives Shout-out Back to All His Niggaz"
and
"Christ Returns to NBA"
:D
