Chinese News Reporter Duped by The Onion

This is funny.

Very entertaining indeed.

I remember that one. The JK Rowling one was better though. Imagine someone reading stuff like [quote]“I think it’s absolute rubbish to protest children’s books on the grounds that they are luring children to Satan,” Rowling was said to have told a London Times reporter. “People should be praising them for that! These books guide children to an understanding that the weak, idiotic Son of God is a living hoax who will be humiliated when the rain of fire comes, and will suck the greasy cock of the Dark Lord while we, his faithful servants, laugh and cavort in victory.”[/quote] and believing that its true!

What is too bad is that the reporter wasn’t fired or have the s##t hit the fan which happened with the NY Times reporter. To plagiarize a story from The Onion and then get caught ought to be grounds for dismissal.
This lazy assed person can’t really be called a journalist or reporter at all. A very pitiful story indeed.

Not to mention being singularly stupid. Retractable roof. He’s probably the boss or local party official’s son-in-law.
