    Default 2004 Onion article: "$&*# Everything, We're Doing Five Blades"

    If you don't like foul language, don't read. I like the bit at the end about a "second strip that lathers."

    That is the proof: the onion is a good and reputable news source!
    They have just struggled with rumors about their news being less than true.

    Indeed, I think this proves that given a few years, EVERYTHING will be true!

    I've run across that one before, but it still makes me laugh.

    Good stuff:

    Default And now for the punch line....

    The Onion wrote their article in 2004. In 2005, Gillette announced the world's first five-blade razor. Life truly does imitate art.

    Doesn't it actually have six blades? The one in the backside is meant for shaving those areas you can no longer shave with them 5 blades, whereas you only had to blaze through when there was only 3? .
