The use of satire in literature refers to the practice of making fun of a human weakness or character flaw. It is often inclusive of a need or decision of correcting or bettering the character that is on the receiving end of the satire. In general, even though satire might be humorous and may “make fun”, its purpose is not to entertain and amuse but actually to derive a reaction of contempt from the reader.

I hope, genuinely, for these peoples' sakes that they have not read the entire thread.

Must keep it going...

In all fairness (at least it would be fair if it weren't obvious the guy had no idea it was satire,) The Onion does have a track record of using real people in their articles involving public figures. It would be entirely in character for them to use the name of a real heavily-recruited prospect in an article like that. They just happened to choose not to in this case.

Yesterday was the first time I brought a bunch of people at work to my desk to read through a thread together. We had a blast.
