「ジ・オニオン」の記事における「Contributors and editors」の解説

『ジ・オニオン』の架空の編者はT・ヘルマン・ツヴァイベル (T. Herman Zweibel) である（「Zwiebel」はドイツ語で玉葱。また「Zweifel」〔ドイツ語で「疑い」〕にも似ているが、これはマディソンの地元紙『ザ・キャピタル・タイムズ（英語版）』に関わりのある姓でもある）。彼は「1901年よりこの地位にあ」り、いささか狂っているとされる。 『ジ・オニオン』には、常勤および客員の（架空の）筆者によるコラムがいくつかある。次のような筆者がいる。 Jim Anchower, an enthusiastic slacker and stoner with a different job every few weeks, whose musical tastes are stuck in 1970s rock and roll. Jean Teasdale, an overweight, dumpy woman with kitsch tastes, whose constantly upbeat attitude in her column "A Room of Jean's Own" always finds the bright side of her otherwise depressing life. Smoove B, a smooth talking ladies' man whose columns are directed toward his girlfriends or potential dates. He is known for describing his planned dates in extreme detail, often straying from the romantic to the mundane. The structure of the comedy consists of a series of romantic come-on lines, featuring cliched enticements such as cognac, chocolates, and massages, followed by a blunt sexual reference. Roger Dudek, an inept humor columnist whose feature, "Write On The Funny!", contains nonstop clumsy puns and similes, while demonstrating a casually abusive attitude towards members of his family Jackie Harvey, a clueless celebrity spotter. Amber Richardson, an uneducated single mother who writes about her many misadventures in raising her illegitimate children including visiting the health clinic, constantly changing jobs as well as lovers, and defending her questionable qualifications in childrearing. Larry Groznic, an overweight, confrontational "fanboy" whose disagreements with friends over obscure nerd trivia are documented in hostile letters typically demanding conversion to his point of view. Gorzo the Mighty, the Emperor of the Universe, villain in the style of Ming the Merciless. Department Head Rawlings, the mysterious head of an unnamed organization of international spies. Don Turnbee, a 41-year-old who frequents fast food establishments. かつての寄稿者には次のような者がいた。 Herbert Kornfeld, accounts receivable supervisor, an accountant who was raised on the streets and spoke in gangsta rap-isms and ebonics. Killed on April 30, 2007. Arch Danielson, an elderly man who wrote "The Silver Screen", a series of rambling, non-sensical movie reviews that often diverted towards random topics. His persona was retired around 1998, in favor of Jackie Harvey.
