In other news, noted essayist Jonathan Swift did not really say the Irish should eat babies, and Stephen Colbert is not really a stupid, rightwing newshow host.

Clearly Cain you've never met an average American.

[Adios]

Clearly Cain you've never met an average American.

Are you saying that we really are all retards?

I'm just saying that the story from Dead Serious News was passed among my FB friends as real news for a couple of days before anyone bothered to check to see if there might be satirical news websites other than The Onion.

If you have to ask, I think that's an automatic "yes".

I just spent the last hour or so watching fucked up TSA YouTube videos. This is why I don't fly and do support an uprising. :P

[Adios]

It is pretty sad that Americans swallow so many things hook, line and sinker.

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

We are a gullible breed.

The TSA has a pretty firm basis for this belief, I would say.

[PopeTom]

Actually, never mind the average American.  The average person with an Internet connection.

Otherwise sites like Snopes and The Straight Dope wouldn't need to exist.

The comments on that blog article are actually pretty insightful. Also, sad that it had to be the comments to mention the refuted articles are in fact satire (as clearly stated on their websites).

I uh. 

That was easily the most cornball blog post I have ever read.

[Jenne]

  I had the same though, Sig.  And yes, there's a REASON why this seemed so believable--the urostomy bag example comes easily to mind.

Including the belief that showing the world your naughty bits/having your naughty bits fondled will help protect us from terrorist attacks.

I'm really beginning to hate this place.

I think you meant to say, "I love this place like I love seeing what I can fit in my ass!"
