The Onion, with its unique brand of deadpan satirical humor, has
become a familiar part of the American scene. The newspaper has a
readership of over a million, and it reaches millions more with its
spin-off books and The Onion News Network. The Onion has shown us
that standard ways of thinking about the news have their grotesque
and silly side, and this invites philosophical examination.
Twenty-one philosophers were commissioned to figure out just what
makes the Onion so truthful and insightful. Are the Onion writers
truly cynical, or just cynically faking it? Does the Onion really
have a serious point of view on religion? On sex? On politics? Who
cares what Area Man thinks? If everyone's so dumb, how come so many
Onion readers keep on laughing at how dumb they are?
