Fake news galore, seriously all FAKE

Good site for humorous fake news but some material may not be suitable for children.

This website is about satirical news. They usually are mocking something absurd or otherwise funny, that most of the time (the opinion on this might vary) is based on a real event or atleast is partly true in some form or ,in some cases, a pure joke. So, some "articles" are probably not true obviously. Never go into this site expecting real news. In terms of child safety, this website probably isn't the best for minors, as most children probably don't understand The Onion's level of humor and the website might sometimes have articles that are too much for them. However, I don't know about how ads works on this site, since I use Adblock all the time for various reasons, so don't take my word on them. that aside, there isn't really anything wrong on this website. It brings some laughs after a hard day and if you like satire, this "AMERICA'S FINEST NEWS SOURCE" is most likely for you. I trust that this website doesn't do anything harmful for you and your computer. Beware of the news content though, if you don't like satire.

Satire site with humorous fake news.

Parody news site, quite entertaining although might contain content unsuitable for children.
Helpful
Contains photoshopped images in order to make stupid jokes.  News are often misled by this website.  Although this site is meant for jokes, most official news are often misled by this website.

Safe and hilarious website for comedy and satire news.

Just another stupid site with supposedly funny stupid time wasting stories.

The 'news' on this site is totally fabricated. Uneducated people will be deceived by this site. In a supposed 1927 newspaper, the headline reads: KKK Gathers for First-Ever 'Monstrous Truck Rally'.

Sajten innehåller politisk satir och annan satir. Alla nyheter är osanna.
