AAtA Award: The Onion

Traditionally, we've had the "More Adbusters Than Adbusters Awards" here at Ninjayo; awards we give to people (or institutions or movies or shows or what have you) that exhibit a healthy combination of rebellion, social commentary and a refreshing lack of bullshit/hypocracy (which makes them more like the magazine Adbusters wants to be versus the magazine Adbusters actually IS, hence the award name).

Well, in a similar vein, I submit a similar award:

The "As Adbusters as Adbusters Award" goes to The Onion (www.theonion.com) for being, for the most part, a leftist satire on right-wing America that's also one of the most blatantly advertising-laden sites I can think of (Bud Light, anyone?). It also features a personal ad service that, if their "Personal Ad of the day" is any indication, is populated by some of the most pompous and narcissistic people to walk the earth. Beautiful.
