2.0 out of 5 stars What Constitutes a Day-by-Day Calendar?, March 19, 2004

I received this as a Christmas gift, and frankly, I'm disappointed. I love the Onion, and look forward to reading it online every Wednesday morning. While I enjoy reading the articles, I thought it was a cheap copout to use up multiple days of the calendar on the same article. In my opinion, the point of these calendars is to have something new to laugh about each day. Who is going to stop mid-sentence on Monday and then pick up the second installment Tuesday, only to stop, mid-sentence once again, until reaching the final conclusion Thursday or Friday? Doesn't the Onion have enough captions, in the news, infographics, statshots, news in brief, etc. to fill up a calendar? There are plenty of these in the calendar, but in the next two weeks, three articles take up nine pages combined. I don't think I'll buy this next year, unless the format changes.

This review is from: Dispatches from the Tenth Circle 2004 Day-by-Day Calendar: The Best of the Onion (Calendar)

This "best of" is simply a rehashing of previous calendars. There is no reason for photos of Bill Clinton in a 2004 calendar. If you have seen or owned previous calendars, you already have all the humor. In additon, the stand came unglued from the calendar, rendering it useless after 2 weeks.
