Is the Halliburton contract for gold fillings story real?

[garybeck]

this story is spreading like wildfire. but the source seems to be The Onion, which is a satire publication. is there any truth to this story?

1. No.... the source is The Onion

It is parody. Though the best parody imitates life.

2. Ofcourse not....

The Onion put it out... it's pure bull.

4. I think what is more telling...

...is that so many people believe it is! Yes, from what I saw, it's a satire from Onion...

[garybeck]

5. people believe because of the track record

if it were true, I actually wouldn't think it's the worst thing they've done...

7. Yeah, it's all crass, inhumane parasitism...

Hallibrutal feeds off disaster in this country like a f***ing vulture...

"You've destroyed a middle eastern country? Hallibrutal to the rescue! We'll over-charge you, and leave no audit trail behind!"

"Hurricane swallow your city's infrastructure? Hallibrutal to the rescue! We'll help you to force out all local workers, while we bring in our mercs and rob the Federal Treasury blind!"

sigh...

11. it's also being republished on many sites, which makes it appear real:
