Yes it is, it’ll be stone dead in a moment. It’s not fooling anyone.
It’s feeling better!
Salon has an article up now about the blogger in the OP.
Said article confirms, in an interview with the author, that he just doesn’t get it.
This is my favorite bit:
Area man doesn’t know when to stop
KANSAS CITY—
Local member of the Straight Dope Message Board, Hey You! recently posted “There was an instance in which a Chinese newspaper thought Congress was threatening to move unless they got a new Capitol,” continuing a trend that is becoming increasingly tedious with each instance. “Sometimes people post similar replies to threads at the same time,” SDMB Administrator jdavis commented, “but the Board has quite a few characters and this is clearly a case of people turning the simulpost phenom into a joke.” Hey You! reportedly saw this trend and decided to continue it, rather than contributing anything original, creative or helpful to the thread. “He typically has very little to contribute,” SDMB Moderator Skip Magic said. “He usually just imitates what the other intelligent or funny posters do. It’s sad really.” Hey You! was recently seen giggling to himself creating a list and muttering something about “Opal.”
It would be more appropriate for Herr Peter to put up a drawing of a dead baby, since there was no real abortion for us to “laugh at.”
This made me laugh right out loud. I bet this guy STILL falls for “Hey, your shoe’s untied!”
My favorite response was to his original rant. Someone posted “I’m pro life, but sweet Jesus you’re an idiot. For your next post, how about a passionate speech on the need to immediately free Prince Albert from the can?”
My god, I had no idea that [url=boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=378924]my roommate

had a blog!
Erm, could a mod fix that coding for me?
Ok, I don’t get it. Why is Prince Albert in a can?
Are you serious, or are you yanking my lower extremities?
Yeah, i’m serious. And also worried now, since I guess it’s something I should know?
Prince Albert used to be a popular brand of pipe tobacco in the U.S. It was sold in middling-sized cans.
Then there was that time the PRChina threatened to leave Beijing if they didn’t get advance copies of the next Harry Potter book. The Washington Times believed it, and they put it on the front page.
Telephone pranks.
First, calling a random home:
“Is your refrigerator running? It is? You’d better go catch it before it gets away!”
Then, calling the local tobacconist store:
“Do you have Prince Albert in a can? You do? You’d better let him out!”
When I read this post, my first thought was, “Um. No! That would be so boring.” But then I realized, if they chose good stories, I could spend several minutes trying to figure out what the joke was. Bravo.
Ah, ok. Thanks.
My goodness, the young folk. 
Oh. My. God. Here’s someone clinically proven to have no sense of humor.
Is it just me, or would “Whooshed by the Onion” be a great band name?
Oh, man. I tried to show this to my boyfriend and now theres a nasty dirty bloody baby on her main page… It made me sick.
I’ve never seen anyone revel in bloody babies except for this particular subset of pro-lifers. Pro-choicers don’t post pics of bloody dead babies all over their websites.
