I but the onion hard for a second. I totally assumed that this was real because this is absolutely something I'd expect out of this. Total garbage, but it'd probably get views and they don't have to do any work.

I bit it hard! I was like, wait, they got Hinkley Jr. on this? I came to the comments to see if anyone had watched it yet, and didn't even realize it was the onion until I read your comment.
