What the National Lampoon was to the '70s, The Onion may be for the new millennium.\" --Washington Post\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Wednesday, work at Amazon.com--along with just about every other company connected to the fantastical \"information superhighway\" invented by Vice President Al Gore and actress Hedy Lamarr--grinds to a halt as employees hasten to read the latest issue of The Onion, America's most popular newspaper based in Madison, Wisconsin. But most of the paper's fans have started reading it only within the last few years, and are sadly unaware of The Onion's mighty journalistic legacy. To combat this cultural illiteracy, Editor in Chief Scott Dikkers and his writing staff have assembled this collection of great front pages from the last hundred years. Here is just a sampling of the headlines:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA New Century Dawns! McKinley Ushers in Bold New \"Coal Age\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArchduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria Boasts: \"No Man Can Stop Me\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAWESOME!

Of course, readers with delicate sensibilities may find some of these accounts a bit too risqué, and perhaps even tasteless. (Among the potential offenders: Rosa Parks's decision to \"screw this bus shit\" and take a cab.) But if you're looking for an antidote to all the 20th-century hoopla promulgated by stuffed shirts like Peter Jennings and Harold Evans--not to mention the best history book since 1066 and All That--then Our Dumb Century is the one for you. --Ron Hogan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is VERY GOOD to Like New with the usual associated softness and wear from being handled, read and stored.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eKindly refer to scanned images they are accurate representations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBIT COIN ACCEPTED\u003cbr\u003e\n_____\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlease Visit our sister shops for more collectibles:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/QualityComicsAmerica\/\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/Neetorama\u003cbr\u003e\n---\u003cbr\u003e\nEven More NEET STUFF can be found on ETSY by visiting these teams or using the appropriate tags listed below:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVINTAGE:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/teams\/11978\/got-vintage-shops-team\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003evintage, antiques, ephemera, gvs team, gotvintage, memorabilia, collectibles,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/teams\/15100\/rare-vintage-bookspapers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e70s, art, book, rare, paper, magazine, photography, graphic.poster,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/teams\/13509\/vintage-magazine-madness\/discuss\/15327191\/\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003emag, vmm, weekly, monthly, magazines, periodical,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/teams\/10903\/vintage-addiction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003emid century, promotional, vintage toys, vintage ephemera, vateam, retro,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/teams\/7374\/vintage-books\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003evbteam, vintage books, booksellers,\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eCOMICS-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/teams\/13611\/comic-books\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/teams\/14497\/dc-universe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003edc comics, marvel comics, justice league, batman, superman, superhero,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/teams\/14767\/marvel-excelsior\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ecomics, marvel, stan lee, excelsior, comic books,\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/teams\/15638\/geeks-unleashed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003egeek, nerd, anime, geekery, comic book,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/teams\/10185\/disneyana\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003edisney, disneyana, mickey mouse, \u003cbr\u003e\n...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePOP CULTURE:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/teams\/11695\/pop-culture-passion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003epop culture, pcp team, pop culture team,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/teams\/12802\/the-attic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eactorteam,vbteam,VATeam,GVS Team,antique treasuries,pop culture,pcp team,memorabilia, collectibles,\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NEET STUFF...","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29277903369,"sku":"","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/5288\/products\/il_fullxfull.733724251_jw94.jpg?v=1484100514","url":"https:\/\/neet-stuff.myshopify.com\/products\/the-onion-our-dumb-century-100-years-of-headlines-from-americas-finest-news-source-zany-wicked-social-commentary-humor-satire-politics","provider":"NEET STUFF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
