    This one wasn't a story, it was just a little headline in an index form:

    "Special Olympics tee pitches perfect game"

    I read that and nearly fell down laughing.

    There seems to be a missing section in their archive, so I can't find it, but one of the great sports stories was "Poor Africans Enjoying Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl Champion Merchandise."

    It had stories of the pre-printed stuff being distributed, with one man refusing to accept "out of loyalty to the champion Philadelphia Eagles, who had given the man a hat and a sweatshirt a year earlier."

    There was another one of those that was something like "Betty Friedan honored with second-class postage stamp"

    Dear god that's funny. The pictures that just flashed through my head were so funny and so wrong all at once.

    Yep, it was from the Onion store, and no, they no longer carry it. They seem to rotate their stock pretty frequently, which is too bad; I could use another "You Are Dumb" T-shirt.
