This isn’t even humor at this point. I’m legitimately starting to think The Onion is in the midst of transitional changes to becoming a legitimate news outlet that just reports news.

Like this one doesn’t even seem absurd or funny. It just seems like the logical reaction people will have. This just comes off as a legit news report on an aburd situation. Rather than an absurd mocking news report on a realistically fake situatuation.

The joke here is a little more subtle. It’s that this particular Maccas was already 1 star, so these reviews aren’t actually hurting it. The reviews are just changing the reason given for being 1 star.
