It should take you directly to their June 22, 2056 spoof. Look at the wording in the link. That's what you're looking for.

Rebecca,


Even if you use www.theonion.com it should open up with this "story."

P.S. -- It opens up with audio in case you're "at work" or something. The audio part is just one sentence: "Welcome to the Onion, the week of June 22, 2056."

P.P.S. -- Actually its the ENTIRE ISSUE! The spoof is that the entire issue is set in the week of June 22nd. fifty-one years in the future.

Any luck yet?

Great stuff, George.

Sometimes the satire in The Onion can be prophetic, unfortunately:

This is what The Onion has the President-elect saying on Jan. 18, 2001:

"We must squander our nation's hard-won budget surplus on tax breaks for the wealthiest 15 percent. And, on the foreign front, we must find an enemy and defeat it."

I especially like the last paragraph of that piece:


Despite statements to the contrary, Governor Bush is widely believed to be considering a 2008 run for the office currently held by his brother, George W. Bush. A high-profile investigation linking Michael Schiavo to the most recent storm to batter Florida would likely shore up Governor Bush's support among so-called values voters, many of whom not only blame Mr. Schiavo for Hurricane Dennis, but for rising gas prices and a rash of recent shark attacks.
