Plagiarism taken to a new level!

As we are all aware, there are some individuals or groups (McSweeney’s) that like to plagiarize material (plagiarize!). It’s been well established here on this very website that plagiarism, particularly by McSweeney’s (who has been accused of plagiarism, because McSweeney’s plagiarizes, those damned plagiarists) will not be tolerated in any form. We are like a group of plagiarist watchdogs, doing our best to fight plagiarism on any level (especially if the plagiarism is by McSweeney’s, home of the whopper plagiarist). This brings me to my point:
The worst case of plagiarism in our nation’s history!

I don’t get it, either. What does this have to do with McSweeney’s secret time machine that they use to avert all the attempts by other time travelers to assassinate Hitler?

I’ve attempted to draw a comparison between Chuck Berry and McSweeney’s and their plagiarisms. Don’t analyze it too deeply, your minds might esplode.

That Onion article would have been really funny 23 years ago. Given the fact that the movie being referenced is more than two decades old, it’s probably safe to assume that it is not the first of its kind.
