The Onion is a well known satirical magazine that makes fun of anyone, anytime, sometimes in rather lewd terms. So who would have guessed they’d pick on Model Railroader – but it’s true!

This article created quite a stir on a few other forums.
I wonder what the Kalmbach folks think of the whole thing?

for obvious reasons I suspect Kalmbach has to be “officially” outraged, but I suspect deep down they have to be pretty pleased – the Onion wouldn’t spoof them if they didn’t think a fair percent of the general public would laugh at the spoof. This may be the best evidence yet that the World’s Greatest Hobby campaign is actually getting some results and isn’t just preaching to the choir!

Well, I heard that If you’re being spoofed, you’re already a part of popular culture
