This is the one time the onion has done something even a remote shred of clever. To tie into the topic of the article, I once stoned to death my pet goldfish after he was showing signs of age and that was more clever than anything that the onion has done in their near-36 year span of creating misinformation, or anything the veterinary clinic could've told me to do otherwise.

You are aware that the onion is a satire piece and that they shouldn't be taken serious?

Hey man. It looks like you have some built up angst towards The Onion or towards this topic

It's fine if you're just letting some emotions out, but I just want to point out that the Onion is not trying to inform anyone. How can they spread misinformation if every article is clearly satire?

You may find it to be a terrible joke but I don't get why this has caused you this much stress

Would you care to elaborate?
