The article was meh, but the people's reaction was GOLD.

So witty he can't figure out the concept of a joke.
What's sad is that upwards of 100 people replied, saying the same thing over and over again, completely convinced it was all true, and not a joke. Despite the fact that multiple people had said "It's a joke!" earlier.
Actually, the reactions weren't so much gold as "despair for the future of humanity inducing".
but in the comment sections, people who are supporting the viewpoint of the article often make an appearance... this lends very much to the perception that it is really serious.
Webpages like this scare me beyond words. Everyother word is a link <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
