Surpised the Onion doesn't include a writing credit for the article. Apparently this was posted in 2009 and I'm curious to see wjat the author has been up to since then

Probably a team effort, or at least a team spirit.

I'm curious if "former onion writer" is up there with snl and Simpsons writers in terms of industry respect.
