I had to share this one. Are people really this dense? Yes. I have students every semester who try to use The Onion as an academic news source. Don't people actually read the content? Are people so used to be told what to think that they will accept without question content this ridiculous? Has no one heard of satire? I can only imagine this would have been the reaction to Twain or Swift. I am embarrassed to be a human being at the moment.
"Literally Unbelievable" reposts Facebook updates from people who think Onion stories are real ("Government Official Who Makes Perfectly Valid, Well-Reasoned Point Against Israel Forced to Resign" "disgusting! and you call it land of freedom and democracy!").
