I love The Onion. Their satire is smart and on the mark.
I guess what I like best about The Onion is there's always some truth in their satire. Most viral videos or humour sites -- take College Humor, for example -- rely on a slightly more juvenile type of comedy or spoofing something or Punked-like prank wars. (Don't get me wrong. I love them. They're just not as smart as the Onion).
And the Onion does tech well. Here are a few of my favourites:
