Someone who spends a lot of time hanging around internet chat boards and doesn't know that "the Onion" is not a straight news source, is not the brightest bulb in the box, shall we say.

There was a piece in the Onion a while back, stating that the Army was buying Xboxes for high school students as young as 14 in exchange for an unbreakable commitment to enlist upon graduation. It had some "interviews" with high school students and their parents. I took the Onion attribution off of it and posted it on a couple of threads.

EVERYONE thought it was real! The funniest part was reading the right wingnuts DEFEND the "policy"!
