The Onion is a spoof publication. It used to be based in Madison, Wisconsin...but recently went big-time and moved to New York. The paper version is distributed free at the Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison and other locations around town. I'm not sure what its paper distribution is outside of Madison. They also have a few book-length publications, such as "Our Dumb Century." --Linda Linda Duychak Kohler Art Library Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison On Mon, 17 Mar 2003 10:32:02 -0800 "Jackson, Giovanna" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >I thought this was a joke.
