Please, if you post Onion pieces say so in the title!

Yeah, they're funny but considering that irony is dead please spare us the click bait.

1. What's the fun in that?

It also reiterates an important point. Is that is hard to tell the difference between satire and reality.

[Frustratedlady]

2. Thank you. With the stupid things happening in today's world, it is hard to tell the difference.

There have been several times when I thought that the item has to be from The Onon, but it was live and real from Trump. Same with Borowitz.

3. IKR?

The line between reality and satire is VERY thin these days.

[Bradshaw3]

4. I can see your point

6. Good Luck

7. they used to be obvious, but now...

8. I kind of agree

I would prefer that also for certain posters with clickbait titles who then only link to their own page with barely any info in the post itself.

10. that's a different problem. i agree posts should have more than just a link.

have the courtesy to post roughly the 4 paragraphs we're entitled to under before there are copyright issues....

9. yeah! and if you tell any jokes, please post the punchline first!

11. That's not how satire works. (n/t)

[Downtown Hound]

12. Oh, get over it. How hard is it to check the link?

You do realize it says it's The Onion in the link, right?

Announcing it beforehand ruins the comedy.

[HipChick]

13. Meh..

Lost sense of humor?..

[GeorgeGist]

14. Nah. What's the fun in that.

[4now]

15. That is just something that desperate attention seekers do

[earthshine]

16. When people regularly post satire without labeling it, they go on my ignore list. nt

[UTUSN]

17. Ty, especially when the posters have self-promoted reps for punditry.
