Does this leave you flabbergasted?

Asked by Dutchess_III (47126points) May 26th, 2013

I came across this website today, called Literally Unbelievable. They have a page on fb. It appears that there are human beings out there who actually believe the articles The Onion puts out! How can that possibly be?

I love it. Thanks for the link. Now you know where you can find me when Fluther goes down, dries up or gets too blown out of proportion on the Obama / Biden / Pelosi / Reid hagiography.

I’ve seen it happen in real time on FB. Satire is a hard concept for some people to grasp, apparently!

Reality must be a hard concept to grasp for them too.

I just posted an Onion article on my fb page, just wanting to see what happens. :)

There are a large group of conspiracy theorist, mostly in America, who believe that bin Laden’s death was a hoax. They simultaneously hold two theories—that he never died, he is still alive; and that he was dead years ago and no Seal Team 6 had anything to do with that. Articles posted to the Onion are far more believable than that.
