A small bright spot in a dark timeline.
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.
That is also one of they ways we can stop gun violence. Bring back the sense of community and being one people. Also common sense gun reforms.
“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.
Probably accept that, too!
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.
My absolute favorite part of this is that they also own his supplement business now.
His supplement business was under the same business ownership? That’s preposterously stupid and hilarious.
I’m not exactly shocked he was that stupid, but yeah, that made me laugh the hardest.
I spent about ten minutes trying to figure out if this was just an Onion headline … only to realize it is indeed an Onion headline … this is beautiful
Everything about this brings me joy. I was hoping it would be Cards Against Humanity, but the more I think about it, the more I think this is even better.
I was hoping it would be Knowledge Fight and they’d just subtly transform the content, so as to wean the existing audience into actual facts (e: Dan does a helluvan Alex impression), but the schadenfreude here is very nice.
Active ingredients:
Salt
Isn’t it usually sugar? (With a big helping of snake oil.)
I love that
They’re turning the freaking frogs gay!
is now officially an Onion story.
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…:
I don’t like them putting chemicals in the water that turn the fricking frogs trans
No no, that water was for all our illegal immigrants in prison.

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.
Time to start working on my alternative writing personality, trans socialist Jordane Petersburg. Or should I be Bo Rogaine?
Love to see it!
It would be great if The Onion could use this site to help grow an information platform to counter the Rights enormous disinformation network. And using satire or jokes can maybe break through the noise of main stream media who always treat the fascists with kid gloves.
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.
LFG!
I wonder if they would be willing to gift the desk to Knowledge Fight…? I know Dan has wished he could get his hands on that for a long time.
Hell, they could full on partner up
Thats a great idea! I was thinking the QAnon Anonymous podcast folks would be great for conspiracy deep dives. They already are but on infowars that would be perfect 🤌
I love that people kept saying they should do this and then it freaking happened! I am so curious how much they paid.
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 .
“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.
They backed the Onion bid to reduce the cost and make sure they were successful. It definitely cost them.
I love this, I hope they turn it into a fake far-right website to mess with conservatives
I will gladly eat that onion.
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?
