The Onion Does Travel

Over the years, we’ve pointed out a number of hilarious travel-related stories from “America’s Finest News Source.” Now, The Onion has published a special section devoted entirely to travel. It features the lead story, “United Nations Condemns American Tourist Traps as Inhumane” and a host of other articles, including “Woman Who ‘Loves Brazil’ Has Only Seen Four Square Miles of It.” I agree with Erik Olsen at Gadling, who found the stories “funny. Not gut-busting funny.” But of course, it’s always good to see The Onion have some fun with travel.
