Plus five for Clemson University having a full time satire newspaper. Minus ten for being an almost direct rip-off of The Onion. It's okay to be inspired by The Onion but at least try to have a less similar name, logo, and web page layout.

Hopefully the almond can keep up some momentum without getting shut down by a lawsuit.

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.
