I won't post the link here because I'll be scorned, but

I just saw elsewhere that a right winger posted an article from news source (along with a statement indicating the right-winger's sincere amazement) which had the headline:

Tornado Carries Mobile Home 130 Miles, Family Inside Unharmed

At the bottom of the extensive article was another story:

Doctor Gets Arm Stuck For Eight Hours In Patient's Anus During Prostate Exam

The news source is not stated as being a satire site. The "about" section indicates that they sell themselves as a legitimate source.

There is a Facebook icon at the bottom of the news article which indicates that the article was shared on Facebook 910,000 times.

OK, that's it for now. I'm going back to stabbing myself in the nutsack with a fork, because I'm really not sure what else to do anymore.

Sweet dreams.

That is hilarious. Now you have an obligation to post at least 5 headlines a week from the "newspaper... particularly articles about Area 59.
