If we only have three minutes on a subway platform to skim through The Onion, it's basically going to involve checking the headlines, the editorial cartoon and The Tolerability Index, an infographic of this week's pop culture travesties, as compiled by Amelie Gillette, aka "The Hater." Gillette has a terrific ability to serve as a cultural thermometer—both catching absurd things we might have missed (that Mary Jo Buttofuoco's new book was called "Getting It Through My Thick Skull") or calling out unfamiliar targets that go unchecked (say, Funny or Die videos). She more than earns her Hater nickname with the barbs dished in the Index, but yet also reveals a real soft spot for the absurdity of it all on The Onion AV Club's blog and in her weekly column, Pop Culture Love Letters.
