Satirical news publication The Onion broke the news on Twitter about an hour ago of a hostage situation involving Congress, but the story is not true and a number of Twitter users are saying it's not funny.
Culture Buzz Yikes. This wasn't funny. The Onion tweeted about a “fake” attack on the Capitol today. If that wasn't bad enough, yesterday, the FBI arrested a 26-year-old physics graduate from Massachusetts for plotting attacks on the Pentagon and the Capitol. The satirical article that spawned the tweets can be read here.

Culture Buzz A Tumblr devoted to the people on Facebook who have no idea that The Onion is satire. The idea for Literally Unbelievable came about after a shocking number of Facebookies (“Facebookers”?) were duped by the Onion article, Planned Parenthood Opens $8 Billion Abortionplex. Here now is but a sampling of those who shouldn't stand up, as they might concuss themselves as it goes over their heads.

Culture Buzz I wonder how Glenn Beck's new site The Blaze would have reported this tragedy. RIP Rebecca Bunten.
Culture Buzz See, the joke is that TIME is, in reality, meant for adults. But also they use a lot of bright colors, big pictures, large font sizes, and easy-to-read charts. Don't worry, though, because print media is on its way out anyway.
