Right? Solid satire, but just to give credit where it's due, this is from hard-drive.net which is a gaming/tech focused spin-off of a music satire site called The Hard Times. They consistently crack me up so just wanted to take the opportunity to credit them.

Point taken. I meant Onion in the same way you say Kleenex instead of tissue. It’s now a general term for any satirical news article.

Oh no worries, I totally get it! I was just linking for the sake of anyone reading the comments because those are both quality sites that are worth reading. I've found the name of this community can be kind of misleading, so it's not uncommon for people to be unaware of how many quality satire sites are out there besides The Onion.
