The Daily Bonnet is a satirical Mennonite website, known as The Unger Review as of 2023.[2] It was created by Andrew Unger and launched in May 2016.[3][4] It features news stories and editorials, with the structure of conventional newspapers, but whose content is contorted to make humorous commentary on Mennonite and Anabaptist issues.[5][6][7]
The Daily Bonnet has been cited in the Manitoba Legislature[8] and used as an example of Mennonite humour in the Canadian House of Commons in support of a bill to create a Mennonite Heritage Week.[9][10][11] A number of viral posts including "Mennonite Biker Gangs Clash with Hells Angels at Sturgis" and "Canada Pays Off Entire Federal Debt One Day After Marijuana Legalization" were fact-checked and listed as "satire" by Snopes and Politifact.[12][13][14] The site has been visited by millions of people every year since its inception.[15]
In 2021, a collection of Unger's Daily Bonnet articles called The Best of the Bonnet was released by Turnstone Press.[16]
In 2023, Unger renamed the website The Unger Review,[17] with The Daily Bonnet becoming a section of that website.[18][19]
