And, of course, what the article was satirizing was not Barbaro's death at all, but conspiracy theorists. I think the Onion writers took a real thing (conspiracy theorists) and put it in an extremely ridiculous situation, to highlight the ridiculousness of theorists.
And yeah, I thought the circled photo was funny, too...
And I'm trying to decide what it is about "Brother Derek" that makes it a funny name. I think it's the consonants. The "D" and "K," especially.
