These are two of the best Onion headlines I have seen in a long time. One is from this month, but the other one is from last year. That said, I don't care, because it is hilarious.

Hey, remember that Acer Aspire One equipped with on-board 3G we spied in a Radio Shack ad the other day? Well guess what? It's real -- and we've got the PR to prove it.

Last week, we pointed out that even with a receipt and the product in hand, and even though you purchased it with cash the day before at the same store, Radio Shack won't give a refund unless you give them your home address first.
