Popular satirical newspaper “The Onion” is in trouble for trying a little too hard to promote their article in which John Boehner takes a group of children hostage. Although the article itself was clearly meant to be a joke, the first tweet about it (bottom) was oddly urgent-sounding devoid of humor. Needless to say, U.S. Capitol Police were not exactly laughing when they released this statement concerning it:
“It has come to our attention that recent twitter feeds are reporting false information concerning current conditions at the U.S. Capitol,” Sgt. Kimberly Schneider said in an e-mail statement. “Conditions at the U.S. Capitol are currently normal. There is no credibility to these stories or the twitter feeds. The U.S. Capitol Police are currently investigating the reporting.”
