Mock epic, satire, and the Onion

Recently the abbess passed along to me this broadside called The Onion. Have you all heard of this "news" source? Its satiric take on current events reminds me of Swift's proposal, which I think I will recommend to the editors of the Onion as a possible future article. It seems to me that Pope might be able to throw in his epic ditty in there too. What do you all think? Are these Restoration texts Onion-worthy?
