Legendary comic book artist/creator John Byrne is a bit of a megalomaniac and apparently totally fucking stupid.
The Onion did a "Commentary Tracks of the Damned" for the film, Masters of the Universe, a film which Byrne gives entirely more credit than it deserves.
Someone posted on Byrne's forums that the Onion did a bit on the film and Byrne responded with this batshit tirade :
A search of the Onion archives for 'General Electric' returns the following :
GE Ad Trumpets Company's Government-Ordered Environmental Cleanup
PITTSFIELD, MA-A new television commercial from General Electric, unveiled Tuesday, proudly trumpets the company's federally mandated cleanup of a river it polluted. Part of a $70 million PR...

It's a satirical article you fucking twit! Of course they don't get facts right, that's the point. They gain credibility by not getting their facts right, that's what they're about. Where have you been for the last ten years?!
Byrne may be an idiot, but at least he's not a dick like the Man of Steel :

"The Onion" lost all credibility for me a while back
when they did a "story" on the Hudson River cleanup
GE was forced to do. As some of you may recall,
one of my neighbors is a GE veep, and he was
directly in charge of this, so from him I found out all
kinds of details the press did not bother to pass
along to the public. Since the Onion apparently gets
its info from other papers, the story was full of
inaccuracies.
What are they, Michael Moore?
Anyway, I stopped reading the Onion from then on.
