    Pro-lifer takes on The Onion

    http://marchtogether.blogspot.com/20...onscience.html

    This guy, let's call him Pete, writes about an article in The Onion without realising it's not for real. His follow up post, where he tries to convince readers he knew it was satire, is almost as funny.

    I wondered the same, but the comments are priceless. Not only is he a retard but he's also a retard that didn't enable comment moderation!

    Some of the comments are pretty tasteless, when someone has got something so wrong there's really no need to be so base.

    The follow up is here. I love that he still doesn't get it, referring to the writer as a real person and not realising that the article is satirising both sides of the 'debate'. Talk about digging a hole.

    Either way, I think I did a good job of turning the “satire” right back at them, don’t you?
    Uhhh, no. No you didn't.

    The funniest comment on the follow up article. HAHA.

    Please keep posting more on this issue. It wasn't satire, the Onion is a legitimate news source, look how long its been around. Look at the responses out there, you're not dumb they are. I laughed so hard that I am no longer constipated.
