Onionesque

The New New York Times.

Foxtrot on the Music Industry.

TSG's effing Legal Doc of 2003.

VH1's stupid 200 Greatest Pop Culture Icons list -- #1 is the dumbest.

Courtney Love on the Osbourne's: "Did you know I'm the only person who makes money off the internet." Yeah, you and AG.

Crazy pics of Britney Spears in W magazine.
