Not only was it 45mins or something to compose an email but if you

It's The Onion - where journo's go for a laugh.
I had a late night last night at a preview fro Mary and Max, an
animation feature from the guy who won an Oscar for Harvey Crumpet a

States - the murkins don't get it. One reviewer went critical just so
he could use the verb 'defenestrate'. Sigh.
