When people think Onion articles are real

Heck, even I picked up on something being off from just skimming the titles and skipping reading who the stories were by

I've seen that site before, and while I want to be surprised, unfortunately I can't be. It's things like this that keep me from truly getting over the habit of outright dismissing certain people as idiots.

On a related note, in my class on 20th century American foreign policy, the professor actually put up Onion front pages from Our Dumb Century at the start of some lectures just to make things more fun.

NO.

YOU THINK.

And now I just remembered when I got a title of an onion video. Was unable to watch it at the time, so I had no idea it was the onion

I thought that Al Queda actually was interviewed by someone and was annoyed that truthers kept saying that the government did it

I felt like an idiot after that. Seeing as how these people can see that it's the onion and the articles are more unreasonable (I can see Al Queda getting pissed at one point that they weren't getting credit for a successful attack on the states. I can't see that kidney thing ever happening), I can't imagine how stupid they would feel if they caught on

Interestingly, that actually happened, sorta.

I believe Al Qaida or whatever its called publicly said it did the attacks, and not the us. Or something.

^ So certainly one Onion related thing that isn't unreasonable
