For news articles which seem so much like satire that you're surprised they're not from The Onion.
Rules
- Headlines must exactly match the articles'.
- Posts must be genuine news articles, not satire, opinion, or tabloid pieces.
- News must be current.
- Popular political, religious, or social views are not Oniony, no matter how ridiculous you may think them.

"Here's a $5 credit for your troubles. Oh, btw, you'll see a $36 service charge on your next bill to fix the meter issue"
