To Bee, Or Not To Bee, That Is The Question
« on: January 27, 2022, 10:56:52 AM »
These days it's often impossible to tell the difference between real and parody news.

Post just the headline without a link, and let's see if we can figure out if it's the Babylon Bee/Onion/etc. or not without Googling.

Is it at the same forum where Afghanistan is on the women's rights council?

UN in the headline always means Not to Bee

I always thought that's what the "Onion" thread was for. And that's why "Onion" was in quotes.

"BMG in Talks to Buy Georgian Court"
This headline was actually in the Purim section of Yated in 2018:

Quote
BMG in Talks to Buy Georgian Court
   In what might become the biggest corporate buyout in history, BMG is currently in talks with Georgian Court University about the possibility of a complete takeover, according to a report in Forbes. The report alleges that Rabbi Aaron Kotler, CEO of Beth Medrash Gevoah, held a clandestine meeting with Dr. Joseph Marbach, President of Georgian Court, urging him to merge the colleges into the biggest private university in the US.
   It is still unclear whether BMG is projected to expand its current system onto the new campus, or whether they would open up a women’s division.

A similar headline was in the Voice two weeks ago, with complete seriousness:

In all seriousness, I thought it was a real headline until the last word. That company is woke enough to introduce a trans character, but I don't believe they would invoke a competitor.

Maybe something embeddable.

Threaded comments would kina address this.

Corporate wokeness should never be underestimated... Here's an actual headline:

Per your signature you wouldn’t survive if you didn’t continue to Bee an Onion…
