The Onion does it beautifully, so does Mr. Deity, but the trend has gotten way out of hand. By now it just seems like a silly waste of time. And when atheists buy into it, it often comes off rude and mean-spirited. Richard Wade, I completely agree with you.

I guess I'm tired of the over-the-top extremist parody masquerading, with or without a disclaimer, as straight opinion. Too many gullible people take it seriously and either foam at the mouth against it or adopt it as their own opinion, thinking the site legitimizes their lunatic views. The joke has gotten old.

True journalism at its finest. Check out some of the other headlines: "Deadly human/tree hybrid assassins terrorize Lisle Sun columnist," or "Vampires pick-up teens on myspace." What's scary about this is that there are people imbecilic enough to believe this kind of silliness, but who can still dress themselves and leave the house unattended.
