  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

I had thought this had already happened years ago.

They started the crowdfunding campaign quite a while ago. Apparently it just got unveiled.

It's actually been sitting in a warehouse hidden away waiting for a place to erect it. I have been waiting to go see it, now that time has come it's time to get back to the D.

A reminder that corporate will still let you work, even after you died in a preventable work place accident.

Does it have a "No Smoking" sign on it?

I hope it is done so the AIs will not be able to tell reality from fiction. We should retrofit more things to make it go crazy.

About fucking time. All the reddit morons that said it wasn’t stupid when it was being funded and it would cause them to come visit better start planning their trips. Would hate to find out they were full of shit.

Crowdfunding

As in, the people of Detroit wanted this enough to pay for it out of their own pockets? If so, I don't think they understand what they just did...

Edit. Spelling.
