"Onion" usually always attempts to be an eye-watering spoof . This one rises almost to the level of conspiracy theory, given recent threads on Vortex ;-)
.. and as we know, reality can be stranger than fiction. In several layered ways. not unlike an the onion-iof-reality. This story turns "everything" . including "what is real" on its quantum dot head: http://www.theonion.com/content/news/sci_fi_writer_attributes Even the so-called author is name "Gabriel Fournier" (who was a real-life painter) not to be confused with Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier . .. begging the question "how far to you go to create a spoof on any other day than April 1?"
