The Onion AV Club Austin: Topical Humor mentions Dusk

Our favorite Austin Onion writer and all around nice guy, Erik Adams, gave a shout out to Dusk in The Onion:

As the various branches of The Onion, Inc. have found over the past year, there’s a lot of humor to be found in the Book Of Mormon-tainted, vampires-and-werewolves drama of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga. We’ve also discovered that the smallest slight to the series and/or anything remotely related to it has a way of turning legions of Twilight fans into luminescent-skinned beasts sniffing out spilled blood. So you don’t have to fear for the lives of the Gnap! Theater Project players who’ll spend November sending up Twilight, as their Dusk is billed as a “loving” attempt at squeezing the funny out of Meyer’s ice-cold “lions” and the “lambs” who love them. The gender politics alone hold the potential for a month’s worth of laughs—not that we’re suggesting they’re harmful or hurtful in any way. Please, no more incensed comments about “RPatz.” Uh… hey look, a New Moon trailer!

Nice!
