Can Bob sue the person who wrote that article for sayin things like that? I think we know that it wasn't really Bob who wrote that.

Which is why Bob can't sue (or at least, can't sue successfully).  If something is a clear and obvious satire, it's protected by the First Amendment.  See Hustler Magazine v. Falwell for more on that concept.

Nope, it's a satire piece.  Anyone should be able to realize that it's not really him.  It's in The Onion.  A comedy newspaper.  Of course, Onion articles have been mistaken for fact in the past.

Did I laugh at this? Of course, there's just something funny about taking something and simply expanding the lexicon to the extreme of uncomfortable and taboo.  Or "dog uteruses" is just a funny phrase.

I had no idea Drew had a basement. Is  that where he keeps the Simpsons pinball and fog machines?
