Michael Wolff’s new book on Trump, “Fire and Fury,” is causing one hell of a buzz. And it’s no wonder when it contains shocking revelations like this:

Pretty damning, right? Just one tiny problem: It’s a parody. Unfortunately, that seems to have been lost on Eric Garland:

He even changed his bio and everything:
Bless his heart.
https://twitter.com/LilMissRightie/status/949343144436416512
He did delete the tweet …

Ouch.
But perhaps no jab hurts quite as much as this one from Andy Levy:

Excellent work, Andy. I see your game theory is rapidly improving.

Somehow this is funnier than the original joke

Snort.
Looking forward to the inevitable "I was just joking you guys" or, more likely, "the scary thing is it COULD have been real!" https://t.co/pjKlEfxJsJ

Here you go:
Dammit guys, I got totally punked on the Gorilla Channel thing – but when you've already gotten to "eating KFC in bed," I mean, we're through the looking glass.
Thanks to all who called me out. We keep it clean and Deza-free at Game Theory HQ. ?
— Eric Garland (@ericgarland) January 5, 2018
Nice try, pal.
Haha you guys, I totally fell for the tweet about Trump eating babies from the "Funny fake tweets" account, but what do you expect? Everything sounds plausible now. Anyway back to my totally sane thread about the chip Putin planted in Trump's head. /142
— NeoN: Automataster (@neontaster) January 5, 2018
In all seriousness, though:
Now humanity has no choice but to make The Gorilla Channel real
