Genuine case of "this headline could easily be true in the current climate".
I was genuinely eating this onion before I came to the comments lol. Came here to drop a WTF rant, and instead I find out I'm a dummy right now.
I was honestly wondering how many people would tell on themselves.
My immediate reaction was "yeah, that tracks".
Welp they got me on this one. Good shit, Onion. Ridiculous we live in a world where I believed this for a good 10 seconds.
Yeah same here.
I ate the onion
The funny thing is that, if this were true, it would be the most efficient and effective way to register a hundred politicians, especially Republicans, as sex offenders.
You think they give a shit?
Oh no... I wasn't "watching porn" I was researching content to make sure the law is properly applied!
It's pretty much impossible to satirise US politics, isn't it?
"Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize." - Tom Lehrer
Almost bought it. If they had called it a new bill, "introduced" or some such, instead of "law" it would be perfectly feasible.
The comment section saves me once again.
Always check the community under which it's posted. It's getting harder to spot the difference between theonion and nottheonion.
As someone who grew up in Indiana, I believed it for a second or two
It really got me this time. I read the comments before realizing the community
Should have said Ohio
That's one way to send the GOP running for the border.
