Just as well, Harry Potter DOESN'T "incite kids to practice witchcraft" and DOESN'T "recruit children to Satanism"
Both of these articles were covered by The Onion, both in parody of traditional newspapers, and both were taken absolutely seriously by people who think everything on the Internet is real, and therefore contributing to the exact point The Onion was trying to prove.
Just like that crazy mother fucker who wrote that webpage; 'The TRUTH About Marilyn Manson!' I'm afraid of him.
