WASHINGTON D.C. - U.S. lawmakers are demanding several Canada provinces not only stock their spirits again, but also formally acknowledge that the anti-tariff boycott wasn't working at all and that the Americans were "not even a little bit angry over it working".
warning: embarrassment alert!

It should be obvious that The Beaverton is satire, but a lot of people seem to miss the obvious, so here’s the warning.

    It should be obvious that The Beaverton is satire

    At least on mobile, there’s no header that says this is the beaverton. And it wasn’t until I got a third of the way through the article that I started to realize that this had to be satire of some sort and then had to look at the website name in the address bar.

    Edit: I just took another look and there is a header but it is incredibly hard to see. And I’m not entirely sure that that’s not on purpose. I’m beginning to really fucking hate these satire sites.

      And perhaps you could have read the text underneath that told you it was a satire site?

      I mean come the fuck on! Basic due diligence here! I FUCKING TOLD YOU IT WAS A SATIRE SITE! And yet somehow, in what passes for your mind, you blame the satire site for you not reading the thing that told you it was a satire site.

      Not to mention the headline is so obviously satire you have to have the reading ability of a tin of sardines to miss it.
