:D

Let's assume I don't want to go parading through the links, what happened?

Gheesh, dolts these days. Is that honestly real?

Hahahahahahahahahahah...hahahahha..hah..ha...
Wow, what a dolt. It's so stupid it's sad.

all hail the Onion!

anti choice people show the loss of intelegence that makes them so grand. They thought the onion was a real paper. ssmmmaaarrrtttt

Gheesh, dolts these days. Is that honestly real?

Looks like it. 300 odd comments on both pages...and the guy still defends his 'position'....LOL

:eek:

IS it okay to be a little freaked out about that first link...?

Cuz if she really said all that about getting an abortion...

:eek:

Not that I don't support the legalization of it, I'm just against the concept but I accept that it is kind of a necessary evil... but Jesus... 0.o

Not that the pro-lifer is remotely intelligent either.

Not everyone knows what the Onion is.

That is abundantly clear.

HAR!!!! Spot on! LOL

Pure quality.

Teeheehee... oh such fools they are!

HINT:

The onion is an online spoof of a newspaper

No articles in the onion are real.

Many are hilarious

I love it when stuff like this happens

....you realise what the joke is all about right?

The author of this blog took this article from The Onion. The Onion is a "fake" news page, it's entirely humor, NOTHING on it is real. Not this piece, not any other "opinion" pages, not some article about how US generals in Iraq are launching an operation to "bring in the noise, bring in the funk" offensive.

NONE of it is serious. It is ALL fake. The article he linked to is rediculous for a reason, it's humor, it's satire, it is 100%, NOT REAL.

and forever immortalized in WIki

I think that the guy might be a genius, doing this just to get attention.

no publicity is worse then bad

lol

This is why anti-choicers are not to be taken seriously.

For me it's the utter dedication to whatever objective this guy has.

Look at the site meter...he's generated over 70,000 hits in 24 hours....

I wonder if its a wind up....I really don't know but its the funniest thing I've sen on the net for a goodly while!

Isnt it funny. When someone experess outrage at satire against muslims its called upon as racist, yet when someone expresses outrage at satire againt pro-lifers its funny. So she thought it was real. Well she's given us an example of someone who is real and thinks the same kind of things. I'd call it a fair mistake, from someone not wholely clued up on the internet.

The person running the web site is a bloke :)

Um, he told us about some person he supposedly met in the field. Who knows if he's telling the truth, and really, should one anecdotal crazy woman really change our minds even if she is real?

Isnt it funny.

No, it isn't. It's sad, actually. It goes to demonstrate that this author has demonized anyone who doesn't agree in his head to the point that he would believe something which is obviously satire. He is so sure that anyone who would have an abortion is an evil, callous murderer that it was easy for him to mistake obvious satire for a serious article.

No one expressed outrage at satire against pro-lifers. You must have missed the context, my dear. What the Onion did was take all the idioitic things that the anti-choice crowd say about anyone who gets and abortion, and they created a fake person to have the attitudes made up by said people. "Pro-lifers" weren't made fun of or satirized.

Meanwhile, someone actually comes along who has demonized anyone who gets and abortion to the point that they actually believe their own drivel. Thus, they assume that the satire is real. Talk about missing the point.

So she thought it was real.

Which just goes to demonstrate the extent to which he has demonized those who don't agree with him.

Well she's given us an example of someone who is real and thinks the same kind of things.

No, she hasn't. In fact, the example he gives has nothing at all to do with the satiric ideas presented in the Onion article. At worst, he was talking to a nihlist. Most likely, he was talking to someone else whose sarcasm was lost on him.

I'd call it a fair mistake, from someone not wholely clued up on the internet.

You don't have to be clued up on the internet to recognize satire - not unless you have already decided that the satirical position is true.

"I just know it's going to be the best non-anesthetized invasive uterine surgery ever!"

Okay... I didn't realize the author had quoted the Onion, I know what the Onion is and I know it isn't serious, but I never saw any mention of the Onion... Probably wasn't paying enough attention. Heh.

Now that I know that... it's funny. :D

Here are all the other times The Onion newspaper was thought to be real. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Onion#The_Onion_taken_seriously)

Actually, it's not too surprising, given that many fundamenatlists ( of whatever religion ) are among the most grim people in the world. Remember the uproar over the Danish newspaper's cartoons? People were actually killed in the rioting ... over CARTOONS! Sigh. :(

So does this dude thing Jonathan Swift is the father of the pro-choice movement?

Good call!!! Thanks.

Was not sure if this was the first time. Not surprised to see I was wrong LOL

Well the site traffic peaked at just over 110,000 views...

heh...what a great way to generate hits....

You never know...

Well, I do remember an argument with a Christian fundamentalist who sited The Onion as proof that Harry Potter promotes Satanism.

I love this reply to the original blog:
I'm pro life, but sweet Jesus you're an idiot. For your next post, how about a passionate speech on the need to immediately free Prince Albert from the can?

Was it on NS? I ask because that might have been me.

Oh dear. It's somewhat sad/depressing/scary that the Onion has been used so many times as a tool by clueless fundies.

Most people already know. I used to troll with my Christian fundamentalist puppet Jesussaves.
