One of the funniest stories on the net. The Babylon Bee is a satirical evangelical Christian website. The site is famous for over-the-top fake stories focusing on well-known pastors, celebrities, and politicians. It models itself on The Onion.

Except Poe's Law is very strong on this one.
Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers or viewers as a sincere expression of the parodied views.
The original statement of the adage, by Nathan Poe, was: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article."



I'd say the above is a pretty clear indicator of the author's intent, wouldn't you?

Honestly, I don't think anyone would be so weak-minded that they couldn't tell this was satire from the word 'go'.
