Beijing Newspaper Spoofed by The Onion

mattsucks writes "Reuters is reporting a story about the Beijing Evening News. Apparently, they too believe that everything they read on the internet is true, republishing a story from The Onion. Or at least one of their freelance writers believes it...." This is absolutely great.

    FOX news is just using this as a play for credibility I'm sure.

    FOX News Manager: Is there anyone that screws up as bad as we do?

    Reporter: Well this China newspaper reported a parody story as true...

    Manager: That's great! It'll make us look like a real news outlet compared to them, lets milk this like a presidential scandal.

    Reporter: I'm on it. I think I'll interview random Slashdotters first.

    We need to talk about what will happen when LNUX is delisted. No one gives a shit slashdot, it was long ago taken over by trolls. Only the dumbest fucking retards take it seriously anymore. What will hurt is the projects hosted on sourceforge. Is it time to start migrating these projects elsewhere? Where will they go? The party is over, slashdot is near death. One thing is certain, no linux company has ever recovered from such a precarious position. The only way to go is down the drain.
