Regardless of whether or not these people are serious, this still belongs here and not in the news section. BE AMAZED BY THE PINNACLE OF MODERN JOURNALISM.

I'm not sure, I can't tell if it's actually serious or not, based on the links to other articles on the side of the page it seems kind of tame for a joke site.

I wouldn't consider this to be a 'reputable news site', but since we're on the topic of bad news articles...
I only still have their page liked just so I can laugh at the stupidity of their articles.

Didn't even bother looking but I bet the same things listed would also apply to:
Jezebel
Kotaku
io9
gizmodo
deadspin
gawker
lifehacker

wow what a coincidence that they are all under the same conglomerate.
