Just hoping that everyone understands that The Spinoff, like The Onion, is a satirical website

Except that it isn't.

The Spinoff is a New Zealand online magazine and news website that was founded in 2014. It is known for current affairs coverage, political and social analysis, and cultural commentary.

Regardless, the article itself is satirical.

I was thinking the whole time going through the list that it was satire but then I looked up the website and it appears to be a serious website. They can't actually be serious though right ???

Jesus, they're really going to change the name to Aotearoa aren't they. Very silly.

Why is that silly?

You're silly too. You're a silly sausage.

Nope, David Seymour really is that stupid.

Seymour's idiotic comment is real, but the article you linked is satire playing off it.

A lot of the internationals here seem to be taking the article at face value

Why is there WOKE coming out of your oven, Seymour?
