know your onion

Another Wednesday, another issue of The Onion A.V. Club, this one featuring one of their interview non-sequitur roundups: a bunch of interviewees were asked "If you could send one message to the children of the world, what would it be?" Their answers are compiled here and are an interesting read -- they usually illuminate some aspect of the subject's personality. Except for Arthur C. Clarke, who's just a fucking liar. His actual message to the children of the world would probably be closer to "Would you like some candy? I have some right here in my van."

Anyway, the good folks at The Onion have done this before, asking "Who could you take in a fight?" once, and "Is there a God?" twice. Those features are worth a read, too.

And while you're at it, why don't you check out some of the other A.V. Club Greatest Hits: the Evil Clown Band roundup, a guide to celebrity blogs, or a hilarious series of Leprechaun-centric interviews from the Idle Hands press junket.

Unfortunately, it looks like the few transcripts of Mike Loew's crank calls to the Office of National Drug Control Policy have been pulled from the site, presumably since he collected them with others and published a book. You can get an idea of it from Amazon's look inside the book feature, but unfortunately the NDCP call isn't there. That's too bad, but I think this should probably still be enough material for you to waste a Wednesday afternoon.
