5th Gen mentioned in the Onion.

Lol... short funny but pretty cool that it got a reference last week, even if it is heavy on the sarcasm.

Re: 5th Gen mentioned in the Onion.

For those not in the know, the Onion is a San Francisco (I think) invention that's spreading all over. It's a "mock news" paper that's been out for some time, & it's free. It's alot like Mad magazine, only far more clever and witty.

"They stopped making the Camaro five years ago? Looks like I have a new theory about why the terrorists attacked."

I get a kick out of them, and actually look forwards to picking up one every week when I do my "happy hour". They also have club listings and real movie reviews (all the "news" stories are fakes), and is a far better read than the extremist garbage in the "San Francisco Bay Gaurdian" (a paper so opinionated and so far out in extreme left field that even San Franciscans think it's a radical left wing weekly).

It's actually from my home town, Madison, Wi. I was in HS when it was created and remember it well. You can pick up a copy in almost any store in downtown Madison. There are stacks of them everywhere.
