None of it is Private Eye though... I will try and find links to some of their stuff. Don't know if they have a website as such, it is British satire therefore still stuck in the stone age.
But yes, the Onion is very very funny.

the onion is also one of the few that could do humor out of the events of 9/11 and not be offensive (it was even praised for its elegant but also satirical handling of the situation).
if you want to check out that issue, go here... http://www.theonion.com/onion3734/index.html
