Plus five for Clemson University having a full time satire newspaper. Minus ten for being an almost direct rip-off of The Onion.

Bear Update:
I agree that it is well done and am happy they are doing it and hope they continue to do it. It is in my RSS as well.
All I'm saying is- these are clearly creative people, show some creativity with the naming and identity of the project.
