Iran news agency falls for hoax.

Iran news agency falls for hoax.
Quote:A news agency in Iran has published a report by the satirical news website, The Onion, saying rural white Americans would rather vote for President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than Barack Obama.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-19764166

The funny part is that the churchy people who wont vote for Obama DO share a lot of the same values as Ahmadinejad.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.

Ah, I love it when news agencies think that the Onion is real Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Its amazing how so many people can't seem to grasp irony.

The irony was not unnoticed at the Onion

At the bottom of the article they add:

The Onion Wrote:For more on this story: Please visit our Iranian subsidiary organization, Fars.

Turns out they have copied the original FARS page:

The Onion comes to the rescue. They copied the page before FARS could delete it. See above for link.

Every time the Onion does something I smile when I realize I am within driving distance of their headquarters and where they started.

That shit's not funny at all because most of the world believes the stupidest shit about america, not even our news channels show what the real america is.
