Iranian state news agency runs with Onion piece!

Folks, you couldn't make this stuff up. But down all beverages before reading.

They belived a fake poll from the Onion, showing their dear leader (I'm not even trying to spell his name) leading BO among white voters. Front page stuff. Its classic. Best part? The Onion now links its articles to the FARS news agency as "their foriegn subsidiary".
ROFL!

Silly Iranians fell for the story on The Onion!!

Good find FQ! 
And here I thought the Iraqi Information Minister had gone unemployed.

The towel headed f**ktards just Do Not understand our country. Much like we don't understand theirs.

Neither link works for me.

First one gets a  'Page Not Found" screen and the second gives me a screen from Onion telling me they had to archive the pieces because I damaged them.

It did make a pleasant change from "It's Bush's fault".

Considering how much BS the MSM spouts it's easy to see how the Iranians could make the mistake.
It's no more ridiculous than an NPR poll, or a Cris Mathews broadcast.
