Gullibullies

Wired Online has a great article about how some readers are unable to understand that The Onion is satirical fake news, which sounds hard to believe (especially when recalling articles like the one about Taco Bell's new Contraceptimelt: The Morning After Burrito). But apparently it happens. I particularily liked the example of how Christian groups went nuts over the Onion story about J.K. Rowling's allegiance to Lord Satan. Awesome.

Read it.
