The Rules

...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Is it The Onion or not? This link tree links to a post posted in The Onion community

Judging by the home page, it appears to be a legitimate news source.

At best, meat grinders are amazingly thoughtless. At worst, they’re a cruel, unfunny prank.

I don't see how it could possibly be unintentional. It's too bizarre.

Neither do I, but sometimes people are just fantastically stupid.

It had been crossposted to TheOnion community on another instance, but the story is real.
