My pal Tracy Kellum, an intranet communicator at Ketchum, just sent me this link to a story in The Onion. It's hilarious.
If you don't want to read the whole story (but you should) then the lead alone is one of the funnier Onion leads I've seen in a while. Here it is:
Office-Newsletter Editor Refuses to Back Down
SALINA, KS—Shipping department manager Nathan Harrity refused to apologize Monday for the controversy surrounding the November issue of Shoppe Talk, the Vitamin Shoppe corporate headquarters' internal newsletter.

Amen, brother! I think we should each send him a pair of kiwi fruit for having the b*lls to do what so many of us cannot or dare not. Yeah!

'That article about Martin was an accident,' Harrity said. 'I really thought everyone knew.'"
