Here’s a bit of media clusterfuckery for you: Brooke Alvarez is the name of a fictional reporter on the Onion News Network, The Onion‘s new satirical IFC series, and here “she’s” weighing in on the latest controversy du jour. Justin Bieber covers the new issue of Rolling Stone, and in his interview was asked about his views on sex before marriage (only if you’re in love) and abortion (vehemently anti-choice even possibly in cases of rape).The general tone around the Internet today has been one of incredulous disgust that Rolling Stone would ask a 16-year-old to weigh in on a national human rights issue. “Brooke’s” tweet sums up the sentiment shared by many in pitch-perfect Onion style.
