So are people becoming more gullible or what? Their critical sense has abandoned them? What's the explanation?

This is another example of a not-funny joke that nobody will get except the writers. There is actually nothing to indicate that the story is a parody. It's wild, but it's not over the top, everything in it is possible, and the few details that add a funny taste to it don't definitively show it's a joke. If someone wants to see what parody news looks like, they should read the Onion. Jokes aren't funny unless they have a punchline, and a story that's crazy but easily could be true really doesn't have one. The only punch line is 'haw haw, got you, ya retard!'
