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.
It has to be reality. Right???
It’s by the Onion.
Botany Bay, baby!!! Kahn lives!!
It’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.)
Almost certainly real, and the comments are funnier than the article was.
Thanks for the link!
