Meh. 14/20.

Coolfusis		2012-12-02 12:24:04 AM

dahmers love zombie: Meh. 14/20.

Same. Most of the real ones I saw here.

SilentStrider		2012-12-02 12:28:20 AM

dahmers love zombie: Meh. 14/20.

Same.

Dallymo		2012-12-02 12:32:59 AM

I did not do well on that. 11/20.

TheOnion		2012-12-02 12:47:23 AM

18/20

Though, given my name, I probably should have done better...

GAT_00		2012-12-02 12:57:25 AM

A little disappointed the Ahmadinejad/Obama one wasn't true. I wonder what would happen if you read GOP voters campaign statements from the two of them and asked them which they liked better?

jaylectricity		2012-12-02 12:57:32 AM

TheOnion: 18/20

Though, given my name, I probably should have done better...

Well, let's see how The Onion is prophetic does.

propasaurus		2012-12-02 01:02:09 AM

16/20, but only because I've seen so many of them here.

RedPhoenix122		2012-12-02 01:04:22 AM

GAT_00: A little disappointed the Ahmadinejad/Obama one wasn't true.

Actually, when this story ran in the Onion, people were posting it to Facebook as real news and blasting Obama with it.

Serious Black		2012-12-02 01:05:24 AM

12/20. I had seen a number of them before, and the rest...well, Poe's Law is making it more difficult to discern reality from mythology by the day.

HotWingAgenda		2012-12-02 01:05:26 AM

I almost got a perfect 50/50, but Fark taught me about the cannibal cocktails and the Best Korean unicorns, so I got 12 right.

CreativeFarkHandle		2012-12-02 01:07:18 AM

I almost feel ashamed that I actually believed that the Ahmadinejad/Obama headline was true. Almost.

14/20. It helps to visit Fark almost everyday.

Serious Black		2012-12-02 01:08:44 AM

And for the record, I missed:

- The gorilla one,
- The pigeon one,
- The Victoria Beckham one,
- The Powerball one,
- The WoW one,
- The Ann Romney one,
- The Ahmadinejad one, and
- The pissing one.

Man, I can't believe I missed the pissing one.

Gunther		2012-12-02 01:11:38 AM

That's right, post a headline and a sentence from a bunch of interesting looking articles and don't link to any one of them. That's not annoying at all.

DerpHerder		2012-12-02 01:14:22 AM

12/20 dang.

The Onion is prophetic		2012-12-02 01:18:46 AM

jaylectricity: TheOnion: 18/20

18 out of 20 as well... got tripped up on the Victoria Beckham and Mitt Romney ones

Apos		2012-12-02 01:20:46 AM

15/20. Poor.

propasaurus		2012-12-02 01:21:31 AM

The Ahmadinejad story was mentioned in the article a few days ago about Chinese media falling for The Onion's story about Kim Jung Un being named sexiest man alive.
Apparently, Iranian media fell for the Ahmadinejad survey.

Of course, one would have to actually RTFA to know that.

log_jammin		2012-12-02 01:23:54 AM

I gave up half way through. I can no longer tell satire from reality.

evaned		2012-12-02 01:32:08 AM

15/20. Missed Victoria Beckham, Powerball, Unicorn (I forgot!), Ahmadinejad, American Airlines (though now I remember that article).

HortusMatris		2012-12-02 01:47:47 AM

9/20 (hangs head in shame). I can't tell real life from satire anymore, and I clearly spend too much time working and not enough time perusing Fark to be alerted to what's an Onion article and what's not.

/Human toes... wut?

MurphyMurphy		2012-12-02 01:51:11 AM

log_jammin: I gave up half way through. I can no longer tell satire from reality.

I got 7/20

Someone really should teach gorillas that they are going to die one day.

People lose their toes to frostbite in the Yukon. Oh, and 11/20.

The Smails Kid		2012-12-02 02:03:32 AM

9/20

What are you people, wizards?

log_jammin		2012-12-02 02:05:45 AM

MurphyMurphy: Someone really should teach gorillas that they are going to die one day.

That's when I knew I was in trouble. It seemed completely plausible to me.

Weatherkiss		2012-12-02 02:10:52 AM

9/20.

At least it wasn't in slideshow format. +1 Subby.

unlikely		2012-12-02 02:18:31 AM

10/20. Wow.

NONE of those should exist.

God-is-a-Taco		2012-12-02 02:52:29 AM

16/20, heh. I recognized about 6 of the Onion articles just from the headline.

rcf1105		2012-12-02 03:01:30 AM

17/20

Going by the principle of "This just seems to dumb to be real..."

Lutwidge		2012-12-02 04:04:33 AM

15/20, bah

Joe Peanut		2012-12-02 05:37:52 AM

18/20 as well. Missed the Jerry Sandusky/Joe Paterno and the Victoria Beckham ones.

mutterfark		2012-12-02 06:01:19 AM

17/20 Beckham, Romney and damn that ape story seemed plausible, D'oh!

/I credit Fark and idle hands.

SoothinglyDeranged		2012-12-02 07:09:24 AM

13/20

They are way too similar.

Chaide		2012-12-02 07:41:38 AM

15/20

Also, mummified toe cocktails. What

Sock Ruh Tease		2012-12-02 08:29:21 AM

16/20. The wrong ones were: Sandusky, Beckham, Powerball Winners, Toes in Drinks. World of World of Warcraft was perhaps the most obvious one

eas81		2012-12-02 09:03:37 AM

GoSlash27		2012-12-02 09:03:40 AM

14/20. iFail

H31N0US		2012-12-02 09:03:52 AM

20/20, though I had to guess at some of the Fox / Republican ones because you never can tell if those clowns are serious or not.

eas81		2012-12-02 09:09:20 AM

13/20 myself thanks FARK for telling that most (insert tag here) stuff will be reported by the news!!! all the ones I missed I marked as real. Thanks Onion for becoming less satirical and more porphetic.

Vegan T-Rex		2012-12-02 10:02:00 AM

14/20

The one's I got right because of FARK: Best Korean Unicorns, Romney/Snooki/BooBoo, Taiwanese Urination, Obama/Ahmadinejad, and Cow Sex/Marriage

NewWorldDan		2012-12-02 10:31:16 AM

13/20. The mark of good satire is that you're not sure if it's real or fake.

harbingerofdoom		2012-12-02 11:48:56 AM

11/20
the onion needs to do a bit more work blurring the lines...

gweeptish		2012-12-02 12:35:47 PM

Wow, you are a bigoted asshole. You think all people who live in the country are ignorant.

Maybe some of us don't like living with overbearing city taxes, smoking bans, fois gras bans, and nanny staters.

jamspoon		2012-12-02 06:22:10 PM

Thnk they are doing a good job of cruising the line. More fun than that way when the mainstream gets it wrong.

Lettuce		2012-12-02 10:49:18 PM

I got most of them wrong and gave around zero farks.

/thread

Clint_Torres		2012-12-03 12:09:00 PM

You got 18 out of 20 right!

Victoria Beckham & Ann Romney.
