  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

I mean yeah I reckon I could if I really wanted to but that's a lot of effort to temporarily disrupt surveillance of a random walmart parking lot
