the Onion!

So, I was just browsing StumbleUpon a little bit when I came across something really disturbing:


Teen Pregnancy Rate Prompting More High Schools To Eliminate ‘Fuck Your Brains Out’ Program


The article basically just tells about an initiative called "Fuck Your Brains Out". This initiative  supposedly takes place in American high schools and encourages young students to have as much sex as possible. Whenever they want, with whoever they want and without protection. I read through the article thinking "that can't be true, even Americans can't be THAT stupid" over and over again. 
But then I decided to see if I could find anything about that on the internet. As it was an governmental intiative I thought you just have to find something. But I couldn't. Until, after almost 20 minutes I finally thought that the site it appeared on probably is not a reliable source. 
Turns out that the onion is a satirical newspaper. Usually they either make fun of real or fictional events or portray something abosolutely normal as incredibly extraordinary or remarkable. 
So of course, the "Fuck Your Brains Out" initiative does not exist in reality - thank god for that. But it's weird how easily I would have believed something like that if only you tell me it's taking place in the USA. 
However, when I was flicking through the onion a little bit I a really had some good laughs. 
It's actually pointless to read those articles as they're not the truth anyway, but it's fun, so if you like stuff like that, go on ahead and try it. 
Here are some of those I liked:
