The Onion inaccurate!
The Onion | Police Sketch Artist Likes How Portrait Of Serial Rapist Turned Out
This is really silly, but it bugs me that America's Finest News Source seemingly thinks that the University of Alabama is in Birmingham.

Tsk. As a loyal Onion reader, I'm also bugged. If only I could find a way to express my annoyance in wry, side-splitting fake headline.

The Birminghamster has nothing whatsoever on the Onion. The Birminghamster owes everything it is to the Onion. The Birminghamster falls well short of the Onion in every imaginable category. But the Birminghamster does know the difference between UAB and UAT.

Oh my God, Dystopos. What the hell is this? Is this yours?
It may fall short of the Onion, but considering it's based in the Ham and not NYC...

It's not mine, but I have written some articles in the past. I hope you enjoy plunging into the archives. The Birminghamster is celebrating its 5th Anniversery this month.
