Parody or Reality
Can you tell whether The scandal of Olivia Newton-John: 12 surprisingly controversial Wikipedia pages is parody or reality? And does it matter?

I'm fairly sure it's for real.

Posted by: Joe at March 17, 2008 12:47 PMIt's a product of the Onion's A.V. Club, but A.V. Club isn't exclusively about parody; I fact-checked the first three items and they're all real. I suspect the rest are too. (If you look at this week's A.V. Club list -- "We care a lot: 14 overblown charity/advocacy songs besides We Are The World" -- all of those items seem real as well.)

Thanks for the link!
