The Onion predicts ‘Joe the plumber’ scenario

This is great: The Onion in 1993 predicted the present day “Joe the Plumber” scenario. So if a fake news publication that specializes in writing absurd news creates an article that in the future actually happens, doesn’t that automatically prove the future incident is absurd?

I’m sure there’s some scientific formula in there somewhere.

The Onion + Fake News = Absurd = Actual Event
