This was obviously cooked up by some onion-reporter wanna-be. There is no name of the newspaper, no date, nothing that could be used to authenticate it.

It has a phony look and feel. The statements made were so over-the-top from the very beginning, I can't believe any student who really believed this ideas actually wrote it, or any school editor, student or teacher, would let it run.

This is a fake.

It's either totally fake or it's a sarcastic opening to a real story and the rest of the article is cut off. I can save a text doc as a bitmap and make it look like a newspaper in Photoshop or Illustrator, too. Easy to fake.

I'll look around and see if I can find what paper that came from. I got it from another message board. I agree that it is fake. The article is so stupid it has to be fake.

I mean, no one with half a brain can possibly think that.
Then again, people never fail to surprise me with their level of stupidity.

This artical made my head hurt...

I don't think a newspaper would print somthing with so many mistakes. the writer not seem to have checked spelling or grammer. The way it was written would be fine for an email or something like that, but it was not well enough written to be in a newspaper...
