A small bright spot in a dark timeline.
Time to start working on my alternative writing personality, trans socialist Jordane Petersburg. Or should I be Bo Rogaine?
I love that people kept saying they should do this and then it freaking happened! I am so curious how much they paid.
In order to make the bid work, the families “agreed to forgo a portion of their recovery to increase the overall value of The Onion’s bid, enabling its success,” the families said in a statement.
The power of unity and determination beautifully demonstrated.
I love this, I hope they turn it into a fake far-right website to mess with conservatives
Dr jones naturals is still online.
Didn’t he transfer that to his dad? He’s been very public about illegally subverting parts of his judgement by transferring some ownership to his dad.
Because it’s owned by his father. It’s a workaround to sell supplements.
“The Onion is proud to acquire Infowars, and we look forward to continuing its storied tradition of scaring the site’s users with lies until they fork over their cold, hard cash,” said The Onion CEO Ben Collins. “Or Bitcoin. We will also accept Bitcoin.”
This is gold.
Through it all, InfoWars has shown an unswerving commitment to manufacturing anger and radicalizing the most vulnerable members of society—values that resonate deeply with all of us at Global Tetrahedron.
Just when the country needed a laugh the most, The Onion went and did the funniest thing they could possibly do. This is a wonderful morning.
It will be fun if The Onion and Infowars use this to satirize the presidential debates.
So the families gave up a pile of money in order to back The Onion’s bid and make sure Jones wasn’t just reinstalled doing the same shit as before under the Infowars banner. Wonder who the shitbirds were that made a 7-figure offer to do that fuckery? I wonder if it rhymes with Felon Tusk?
The families didn’t pay for this, The Onion did.
The families support was not financial in this .
They backed the Onion bid to reduce the cost and make sure they were successful. It definitely cost them.
“In order to make the bid work, the families “agreed to forgo a portion of their recovery to increase the overall value of The Onion’s bid, enabling its success,” the families said in a statement.”
Sounds like they contributed by reducing their collections?
Exactly.
I hope they do what the Colbert Report did, keep the inforwars name and let it be a right wing lampooning.
I love this so much. It’s perfect!
Is this what being on drugs is like in normal times?
I will gladly eat that onion.
As a policy wonk I feel that this was the correct buyer. Damn, it couldn’t be funnier. The Onion now owns Alex Jones’ former twitter account.
I love that
They’re turning the freaking frogs gay!
is now officially an Onion story now.
Also that was the only conspiracy he covered that was slightly grounded in reality. The atrazine poisoning was hermaphrodizing the frogs. Of course more regulation to stop pollution is not a solution that dumbfuck jones would support…:
In case you haven’t seen it:
My favourite is the Indie Folk song version: https://youtu.be/KGAAhzreGWw
That’s amazing! But fuck it for putting naked Alex Jones in my head. I was hoping to sleep peacefully tonight.
:)
I’d like to respond with:
Kinky.
