Default The Onion articles that come true

I haven't been this amused since their "[censored] it we're doing four blades" Gillette piece.

I bet this article from 2002 sounded like a good joke back then too.

An amazing article was from a few weeks back, headline was something like 'Radioshack CEO baffled to still be in business', I'll try to find it. I've always wondered how that place is still around!

One of my favourites was "Nation in love with girl from record store"

Someone actually told me about the Onion in 1996-7 when I started at university and I've been visiting the website ever since... when did it first start?
