Anthony Novak was arrested for creating an online parody. Mike Gillis, head writer of the onion, says people can't handle being duped. The onions motto is to stult assess, which means you are dumb and Latin. We'll be right back.
In 2016, a man named Anthony Novak created a parody Facebook page of his local police department. "I just thought, 'That would be funny.'" About a month later, he was arrested. Novak is now petitioning the Supreme Court, and The Onion submitted an amicus brief in support of his case. Their brief is written as a parody of an amicus brief.
