If that means a joke, then yes, it is. "The Onion" is made up of such joke/spoof news stories, poking fun at one group or another.

Hi Moose

Sorry guys in the UK it has 2 meanings
:-
1) A joke
2) Can also mean to annoy some one by bugging them a lot and thus wined them up like a clock work toy until they snap and watch their reaction a bit like what the tv show Candid camera does to people.

My last post was meant to say is this as a joke.
