The Onion As Misinterpreted On Facebook

Related: Entertainment, facebook, News, Sports, the onion

    The Onion has been tricking people since they started printing out fake newspapers. Now thanks to the Internet, those fools can immediately and angrily post their outrage over the paper's fake headlines on Facebook for all to see. The delightful site Literally Unbelievable has an extensive list of the most ridiculous reactions to Onion articles on Facebook and we've compiled our favorite right here.

    Something gives me the feeling that a lot of this person's sentences start with, "I don't understand."
