how disappointing... because really, the label satire almost kinda ruins it. What is so entertaining about The Onion is the first-glance apparent authenticity of their stories. Sure, the articles are great and written in first class journalistic style, but much of their material is also just a headline. This is a very sad slippery slope being lubricated by the sheer stupidity and laziness of a sizable number of shallow sheople. Hey, Im just as dumb as the next guy, but if something to me seems outlandish or ridiculous AND important as possible news ... THEN I will spend some time fact checking to see if I can find credible sources reporting the same story. So this... this is the further dumbing down of the FB newsfeed by catering to the stupidity and laziness of others.
