Well its 6:18 in the morning and its no time like the present to crank out a post.or two

This lovely article comes from WMUR, and shows the hilarious situation of an Iranian news agency thinking that the onion was a legitimate news source. Several US news outlets have also fallen into this trap, Fox news a notable offender, putting an article of theirs on the front page of the Fox website, with equally hilarious results. This is the reason you always check your sources, because this can happen to anybody if they aren't careful, and if you are caught posting something like an onion story about Ahmadinejad is more popular with white Americans than Barack Obama, you will probably never be taken seriously again.
