The Onion is a site which hardly needs an introduction. A site actually driven by content worth digesting, it is one of the few websites worth visiting on a regular basis. The paticular genius of the site is the disguising of social comentary as low-brow humour.

This week they have outdone themselves. Someday, I Will Drive This Short Bus Myself, is an incredible well written, and touching* article, not just by The Onion’s standards but, I think, by anyone’s.

* Author is comfortable enough with his masculinity to be able to say “touching,” and mean it. No giggling either.
