Shit, that sucks.

I can remember picking up a fresh copy almost weekly in my younger days. At least it will still live on online.

Bummer. Huge one.

I started reading the Onion in middle school when my dad would bring it home from work for me, so it's been fun to watch the paper grow from a weird little store of Madison/Chicago/midwest humor into what's, relatively speaking, a cultural monolith. Let me tell you, when you're in 8th grade and you're kind of a nerd, knowing you were the one clandestinely reading Savage Love in class made you feel just barely cool enough not to slit your wrists.

I liked picking up an Onion and a Reader back when I had 100-minute Metra rides home from the city.

Wasn't it a hoot when the homeless would scoop up every copy and sell them for $1?
