    not an adult site?

    The Onion® is not intended for readers under 18 years of age.


    18+ years = adult

    Oh please. The Onion is hardly an adult site. Playboy.com is an adult site. The Onion is not.

    Besides, what self-respecting adult would be seen reading The Onion? It's the most immature, sophomoric newspaper I've ever read (of course, I'm not saying that's a bad thing).

    Two personal favorites:

    and

    Ebert Victorious

    So wrong, and yet so funny...

    May Brigid bless your path! The Wiccan Rede entreats all of our fellowship to do as we will, but remember: The most important law is to Harm None! Injudicious use of passion spells, Fascination-charms or love potions to bind an unwitting being to your soul, whether human lover or feline familiar, is unworthy of even the Hornéd God! The person thus ensorcelled is bereft of Freewill and becomes a mere golem without motivation of his or her own. This is but a mockery of love, and if non-Wiccans find that we have been practicing such strong and forbidden Magicks, their wrath would be kindled and the Burning Times upon us again! Wicca is not about power or control. Wicca is the sun on one's face, the breeze in one's hair, the mysteries of the stars, sun, moon and everything else that science cannot explain. Only by staying true to Goddess, Rede and Craft may we harmonize with the ebb and flow of Nature's cycles. Stray from this, and we shall be exiled to the Dark Lands in a dark time! Blessed Parting, my brethren and sistren!
