'The Onion' Fools Another Major Newspaper - 2 views

The fact that the readers of this can't detect satire is a sure sign that they are not reading this article within a cultural context and don't understand its irony.

    I wonder how many of them actually voted and have reasonable opinion, except racial slurs.
