New York Times falls for Onion spoof

[Ace Boobtoucher]

The paper of record has been punked by the paper of parody.

The Onion fucking rules.

The New York Times' April 17 mini-retrospective on the "original teen-girl tabloid," Tiger Beat, included a sampling of the magazine's covers throughout the years. But as the Times learned the hard way, one of those things was not like the others.

The cover in question, seen at right, pairs teen pop trio the Jonas Brothers alongside President Obama proclaiming: "I Sing in the Shower." The problem is, no such issue of Tiger Beat actually exists, which prompted the Times to issue a rather embarrassing erratum in this past Sunday's paper.

I read the Wall street journal while flying business class recently. Full of shit beyond belief, stating "The truth is that predators are precision strike drones"

Here's some more idiots too:

More recently, Fox Nation fell for the outlandish headline, "Frustrated Obama Sends Nation Rambling 75,000-Word E-Mail."

LMAO - to damn funny. I guess the drunken editors of Times really don't care to check their sources.
