A poster on the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies (IEET) blog commented: "The folks at the Onion do to naive techno-boosterism what Jon Stewart has been doing to naive market fluffers this week, in this “news” segment on the benefits to the economy of an industrial army of giant crabs."

By the way, this isn't coming from the luddite end of the spectrum; IEET is a technoprogressive futurist site. The keyword in this is "naive."
