Bethany BlackDefinitely trying to get sued https://www.theonion.com/the-onion-s-exclusive-interview-with-j-k-rowling-1850141221
What I love best about this is that the onion don’t fuck around to find out, they have the receipts that’ll stand up in court and lawyers who know how to best use them.
Nick Xylas@BethanyBlack Oh yeah. I don't believe for a minute they'd have published it if they thought there was a chance they'd be successfully sued. Plus, parody and satire are strongly protected by the libel laws.
Stewart Russell@nxylas @BethanyBlack protected in the US, maybe. Under defamation laws in England, depends how much the wronged party feels they can afford for lawyers
