Here’s how The Onion’s Twitter account got hacked. How? Hint: That link doesn’t actually go where it says it does.
If you need an alternative to The Onion for a while, check out The Ononeon, which essentially takes Reddit content from /r/nottheonion/ … and lays it out like it would look on The Onion. It helps that the current lead item is about The Onion. (ht @putneydm)
There’s your apology from The Onion, folks. (thanks kateoplis)
adiologist says: People who don’t understand that The Onion is satire are hilarious. Ok, and, I admit it, slightly saddening.
» SFB says: Did you know that you can understand something is satire and still call it out for being unbelievably awful? Say, when a nine-year-old is getting called a C-word? (As it turns out, The Onion ended up deleting that tweet after a public outcry.) It’s literally unbelievable that you think people complaining about this are stupid enough to not see it’s satire. — Ernie @ SFB

Mitt Romney Adopts New ‘Ronnie Ferocious’ Persona For Debates
“You know what? I’ll ask the first question,” the former Massachusetts governor said before putting out his cigarette on his forearm and flicking the butt at Lehrer. “What kind of little shit show do we have here this evening, folks? That’s my question. Because from where I’m standing, seems like a big ol’ shit show. And Lehrer, shut your fat mouth when Ronnie Ferocious is talking, or I’ll pound your goddamn face in.”
An amusing consequence of state-controlled media: In countries with a closed press, satire, by definition, doesn’t exist, and so when satirical pieces leak over from other countries, they’re often interpreted as real news. In other words, Iranians have more of an excuse for mistaking The Onion for reality than these people do. source
