    Congratulations

    Kudos to the genius who decided to run articles from the Onion on the Salon website.

    For a brief moment, I thought that this piece was sincere, but it soon became clear that this was a work of satire.

    Congrats to the brain wizards at Salon and the Onion for combining their synergies to maximize their something.
