you know the duffel blog is a satire website right.

[Murgatroy]

Yeah, that is fake. The Duffel blog is all satire.

No problem Low Power. The first Duffel Blog article I read fooled me and pizzed me off. Until it was pointed out to me it was satire. Now I post all of their articles just to see who falls for them (I did over 20) and have a lot of Retiree friends who fall for them, all the time, same guys fall for Duffel Blog articles over and over. Its written by Military and former military and targeted at Military, even got an article written about them in the Army Times. Army Times had to because Vets were asking why Army Times and Mil.com wasnt covering a story they were.

 

Another Sports Satire site I also read had an article this week that said NASCAR was banning all Cameras at races after last Sundays Fox Camera fiasco. Said that when you turn on your TV to watch NASCAR you would only get audio from the tracks and that NASCAR planned on recreating the race with Lego's and broadcasting it on Youtube instead. People believed it.

The sad thing is that the Duffelblog articles are believable in today's America.
