For every action there is an unequal and opposite overreaction.

Donald Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen made headlines on Tuesday after he pleaded guilty to eight criminal charges, including violations of campaign finance rules, and the paying off of two women (including Stormy Daniels) with whom Trump had affairs. The latter took place under the direction of Trump himself, according to Cohen's lawyer, Lanny Davis.

Cohen could serve up to five years in prison under his plea agreement.

JK Rowling, the queen of drawing out random details of the Harry Potter franchise, is back in the limelight for, well...drawing out random details of the Harry Potter franchise - details that absolutely no one asked for, of course. 

She told Radio Times last week that Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald had an "intense and passionate" relationship that had a "sexual dimension to it." Of course, her actual statements got twisted in subsequent reports, but the roasts and parody tweets that have come from it are absolutely still valid!

"Every Straight Girl on this Site" is a tweet that refers to women who have positive qualities who date men with negative qualities. The original tweet was specifically about women who live in beautiful apartments dating men who sleep on a dirty, disgusting mattress on the floor. People on Twitter have since begun exaggerating the scenarios into complete satire, resulting in hilarity.

Remember to check your sources, or you might end up like one of these doofuses, getting mad over something that you didn't even realize was a joke.

Oh sweetie, calm down it's not real.

Either they don't get the joke or they don't want to. None of us wanted it to be this way.

If there was ever an appropriate time to utter the old Southern saying "bless your heart," it's right now. It's probably safe to say that most people in the English-speaking world are familiar with the troll-y ways of publications like The Onion or Clickhole, yet some naive souls, like the following, never got the memo. It's totally okay to laugh now and feel sorry for them later.

Just when you think people can't stoop low enough, they respond seriously to an Onion article. Is it a lack of critical thinking skills? Poor reading comprehension? Zero sense of humor?

Anyway if you liked these then here's more times people assumed The Onion was trying to be a reputable News source.
