There's a reason why these other "satire" sites don't get as popular as The Onion.

They aren't even satire. Satire is supposed to have an element of funny and/or irony. These sites are just straight dumb. It makes me have less respect for humanity, honestly.

That pic of Jeter with a Boston hat is the most horrific sight these eyes have ever seen

Yeah this article wasn't even filled with humor. It seemed to try reporting the story like it was actual news. The Onion >>>> this shit.

Agreed. I hate satire sites like this. They just report crazy shit but include no winks or nods to humor. It's not funny, it's just annoying.

I think the better way of describing it is "fake news" rather than satire. And yes, that anyone would waste their time creating fake news to no real purpose (like humor) rattles my faith in humanity. What could possibly be the point? It also involves zero degree of difficulty, as opposed to the onion where the humor is not easy to pull off.

Not the first time I have been told to lighten up here for saying something that isn't funny isn't funny. I love actual humor, which is why I care when unfunny stuff is passed off as funny.

Aw buddy! You might be the funniest guy on the site. Nothing personal. I have an issue with this fake news stuff that predates your post here.
