I’m afraid those at The Onion have really fucked themselves. Not because of the satire they published, nor because they disregarded Cohen’s demand. But because they ignored the fucking disclaimer!!
This email message, and any attachments to it, are for the sole use of the intended recipients…
Shit, they’ve really gone and done it now…

Welcome to the post-satire world. From where I sit, America has been post-satire ever since George W Bush took office.

I’d love to see someone try to argue in court that satire isn’t an expected use by the intended recipient. Giggles for weeks.

I missed that article when it originally hit the internet. I’m happy to be able to read it now. Thank you, Onion.
And if my death in 15 or 20 years feels like it’s too far in the future to wash away your blues, you can take heart knowing that I’ll start to physically and mentally deteriorate well before then. Why, by 2020, I, a man who recently tried to extort the sitting president of the United States to release his college and passport records, might even begin to show signs of serious and unavoidable decline in mental and physical faculties, and doesn’t that just perk your spirits right up? Just imagine me shuffling along, hunched forward, with a noticeably shortened gait and perpetually haggard face. Heck, that might happen by the end of this decade!

The letter is real. Everything else is fake (like the president, the country…)

You can have a gun or you can have a brain; obviously you can’t have both.
Note the “I hereby demand”. (From Trump’s recent tweet, we can observe not-so-great minds think alike.)
Also note that Cohen’s email has the laughably unenforceable boilerplate at the end about non-disclosure. You send me unsolicited emails, then demand I keep it confidential? Sad! Funny!
Note that The Onion kept trolling Cohen on Twitter all day, and had a follow-up article (which seems just like the article-version of its Twitter trolling):
