I think there is very little chance of anyone believing that story.
Good satire it is not. Also children are dying in horrendous conditions because of this, it's bad satire that plays the Ebola story too soon to boot.
It's like making a celebrity the butt of a 'dead joke' as they are dying in agony.

Poe's Law is very real...
I bet if you search the web long enough you could find some truther who posted that link in earnest.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Just today I read a story where some bunch of birther shitheads claimed that Michelle Obama was a transsexual because of a 3 year old satire piece.
When it comes to flat out fucking stupidity, don't ever sell the republicunt bastards short.

I like the "about the author" blurb:
Quote:If you don't like what you just read here you can just get out of my country. Now how about that smart-alack. Follow me on twitters.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
