How is this somehow NOT an Onion article?
In another post about this someone pointed out the photo of the family is a stock image.
My first thought was someone submitted it as a joke posing as a freelancer, but the listed author has many articles published.
My new theory is someone contacted them and they wrote a story, with the person contacting them actually taking the piss and submitting a stock photo pretending it was their own family.
The editor tells staff writers at their last meeting: “Advertising numbers are slipping. We need a piece of ragebait so egregious that it’s guaranteed to get pageviews. Georgina, you’re on it; have it on my desk by tomorrow.”
