I don’t think this qualifies as Onion material.

It’s like saying “Donald Trump surrenders himself to the authorities.”

Haha, so funney! sobs

I like the new satire trend, it’s funnier because we know it can’t happen. Earlier, I was never sure if this was news or joke

As I said to the person who shared this with me...this isn't so much satire as just wishful thinking.
