y'all heard about Uganda's Kill the Gays bill, right?

Dear whoever wrote this on the satire site abriluno.com: zimbanewsonline.com, which does NOT appear to be a satire site, picked it up verbatim.

Let me say that again. The satire story about the Ugandan president's daughter coming out as lesbian in opposition to a law that makes it legal to kill lesbians is being republished as factual truth.

I am terrified for that woman. And you, abriluno.com author who wrote it and abriluno.com editor who posted it, if she dies because of this story, you know you killed her, right?

Poe's Law is not supposed to have potentially deadly consequences like that.

[alexseanchai]

Yeah, tell me about it.

... there's a place for satire and this is not it.

[alexseanchai]

Yes.

[shanaqui]

And it's spreading around twitter like anything, too.

[alexseanchai]

Oh hell.

[shanaqui]

Yep, pretty much. I've been pondering how to phrase a tweet pointing it out to people to get it across fully in a simple, retweetable way.

[facethestrange]

Oh fuck, that's actually scary.

[alexseanchai]

Yes.
