Josh:
Does this mean I am a hax0r?

As said in the famous "hacker" video, "I dont consider myself a leet hax0r, but I do consider myself a hacker"

Eóin:
The comments of people who believed it was real are almost funnier than the article.

Gothi[c]:
hahaha, what's worse is that some people would read through this and think it's real.

Edvard:
They have, and they do and it happens every day. This is almost a disturbing trend. Someone writes up something that is funny, satirical, etc. and 98% of the audience thinks it's real. The other two percent are split.
1% "gets it" and has a good laugh, next link please...
1% "gets it" and leaves a comment in the same vein of satire as the original, further adding to the fray.

An undeterminded percentage takes it hook line and sinker and says "OMG I didn't know that... I'd better alert my friends neighbors and relations and unplug the computer while I'm at it!!"
Another undetermined percentage sees it for the drivel it is but thinks the author is honestly a complete imbecile and leaves comments like "I can't believe what a dumb@$$ you are... " and attempts to correct the intelligence deficiencies perceived.
The last undetermined percentage sees it for the drivel it is but then moves on with a deprecated opinion of the social group the author of the satirical piece appears to represent.

Lets see here... lemme find a few:

http://www.shelleytherepublican.com/
http://humorix.org/ (actually that one's pretty transparent, you must admit...)
http://landoverbaptist.org (careful, this one's a doozie...)

Got any to share?
On the bright side, sites like these have served to sharpen my BS detector quite handily.
