Mimikama's 6-point plan would have helped here.

Not every line has to be true, especially when it's satire! Therefore, you should be careful when using “noktara” as a source for an article , because Noktara is a satirical website.

A brief overview of what has happened so far: On the Saturday before Easter, the AfD-Essen used the blue chocolate bunny from “Ferrero Kinder” for party advertising and stuck an AfD sticker on it.

So far there have been no official steps from Ferrero regarding election advertising. Reason enough for Noktara to make a story out of it:

This story apparently came across so believable in several places that outrage appeared and even calls for a boycott of Ferrero products.

We can reassure you that neither is necessary, at least given this issue.

High waves

In a follow-up article, Noktara writes:

And so our satirical article apparently became serious quality journalism. Many believed the poorly researched report.

By this they are referring to the fact that this story was taken seriously and quoted from several quarters.

In the follow-up article to the original satire, Noktara describes the current situation. There are also several reactions to the (unrecognized) satire.

And Ferrero?

Clearly, at the time this article was published, there were no lawsuits or claims for damages. These descriptions come solely from the Noktara satire.

Ferrero has so far only commented that it has contacted the legal department ( compare ):

Dear […], thank you very much for your comment. We first found out about the action ourselves and forwarded the information to the responsible colleagues in the legal department. Nevertheless, we would like to expressly distance ourselves from political parties or groups using and exploiting one of our brands for political or other purposes. We are therefore examining the legal options. Many greetings, your Kinder Chocolate team

This way you will NOT fall for this trap!
