Not everyone - but some were clearly treating it seriously.
Not only was it 45mins or something to compose an email but if you  
paid attention, you could see it was so full of errors as to be  
gibberish.
I mean, I know some here are culturally disabled when it comes to  
irony but it was reasonably unsubtle!
It's The Onion - where journo's go for a laugh.

I had a late night last night at a preview fro Mary and Max, an  
animation feature from the guy who won an Oscar for Harvey Crumpet a  
few years back (Adam Elliot). Clever stuff but mixed reviews in the  
States - the murkins don't get it. One reviewer went critical just so  
he could use the verb 'defenestrate'. Sigh.
