So, here’s an amazing collection of Facebook screenshots from people who don’t understand that the Onion is a satirical newspaper and therefore its seemingly serious news stories are NOT REAL. Internet 101, guys!
LOVING THIS. Go here to see more. Has anyone you know ever been duped by an Onion story?

It’s amazing to read Youtube comments too. I also love it when they do Apple pieces and people get butthurt when their computers are being made fun of.

I just take it as them trying to be a part of the satire and failing with accompanying comment after accompanying comment. It’s nuts! Haha! Don’t be surprised when The Onion grills people like them and Facebook.

@MyFaire@xanga - @marine_g1rlfriend@xanga - The Onion is a satirical news website. They write articles (and do videos) of “fake” news. Usually you can tell because the stuff is incredibly ridiculous – and hilarious.

Two words: Topeka, Kansas.

@QuantumStorm@xanga - Oh. XD lmao
guest
Buahahaha! That is awesome
I love The Onion. People who fall for it should feel foolish because you should always check your sources. Don’t be a mindless parrot who believes whatever they hear/read!
There was even a columnist in India who fell for The Onion once…
Journalism just ain’t what it used to be.

i think we should institute a new social policy: anyone who reads an article from the Onion and thinks it’s factual should automatically be sterilized. it’s for the ultimate good of the human race.
guest
I subscribe to the Onion of FB. They are so funny!
guest

LMFAO at the Harry Potter one!

The Harry Potter fan who was duped is just … ridiculous!
Pretty funny.
The Onion was used a source for an AP English exam a couple of years ago, and many students didn’t understand that it was satirical. I don’t know about them, but to me it’s pretty obvious that the paper’s a joke…

The onion is satire… but reveal some undermining level of truth. A few of those comments can reflect some overall truth, even if the article is false and mocking the truth around us.

i am guilty of this *shoots shelf*

the harry potter one was really funny
