Okay, I have to confess, in the little bit of time I've spent looking it over, I honestly can't be sure if this site is merely another satirical site like The Onion, or if it actually is horrifyingly, stupefyingly real. I'm leaning toward the former, but there is still the possibility that this is the latter. Poe's Law and all that.
Seriously, just look at some of these. There is no way that this site is real... is there? I mean it seems so over-the-top that I'm 99.9% sure it's fake, but there's still that nagging 0.1% doubt. Is there just something completely obvious that I'm missing here that clues more observant readers into the fact that this is definitely just satire and not all too disturbingly real? Well, until I know otherwise (and I've seen little more than speculation via Google and no clear evidence that can definitively say one way or another), I'm going to go with it being fake. Still, even if the articles themselves are stealth parody, I also tried browsing some of the comments underneath them and... wow. I doubt (all of) those are mere trolls.
In either case, this site is amazing, in its own way.
