Wait, what? It's not real news? If you're a fan of The Onion, get your daily fix of breaking news, video, radio-news and more in this streamlined app - with the most current headline of your choice delivered via Live Tile. Did you LOL at the article about the area cat that sued over being sent to the doghouse? Save it for later, post it on facebook, or email it to a friend quickly and easily.

    Pretty good, links not always working.
  • by Christopher 5/18/2013
    One of the best news sources out there. Hard-hitting stories that just make you think, "Really?" and "Seriously?". Always leave the app "informed" of the latest news and events.
