My favorite thing about Literally Unbelievable is the people who have a vague gasp on what the Onion is, but still don't quite get it. :allears:

"This is why the onion has no credibility in media"

"Hopefully this is one of the fictional articles"

One of the fictional articles, as opposed to the prescient ones like "gently caress it, we're doing five blades."

Or "Our Long National Nightmare of Peace and Prosperity Is Finally Over".

Sometimes if you scroll through the notes on Literally Unbelievable, you can find someone reblogging it and adding their own explanation that the Onion is a work of satire. They go one step past missing the point of the Onion and miss the point of the website making fun of the people who think it's real. Like they think they're the only ones who get the joke.

Which Founding Father are you? posted:

You're all of them!
Wow! You're all of the founding fathers. You have the foresight of Jefferson, the leadership of Washington, and the vision of Benjamin Franklin. You also think women should never, ever have the ability to vote and, more than likely, owned slaves.
