The Onion has lost all credibility since a couple of weeks.
EDIT: Geez you people don't like jokes... I'm saying this because reality got so stupid lately that even The Onion can't go far enough. And it's the very nature of satire not to be credible. That's what the joke was all about, it's.... The Onion lol. Also fuck you all if you're trigerred by this.
What part of "satire" could be called credible?
I don't understand how so many of you even took this seriously.
I can't speak for others, but I have autism and interpret things literally unless there are obvious signs of a joke. I'm one of the people that benefit from textual tone indicators.
Fair enough. It's the nature of satire not to be credible, and that's what the joke was all about.
