If the licensing agreement receives court approval, The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site satirizing its conspiratorial origins, and comedian Tim Heidecker has been hired as creative director.
This brings me so much joy.
Its free real estate
“This is me alex jones sneaking into the epstein residence dressed as a little girl to watch all my future friends commit crimes.”
Watch the Trial of Tim Heidecker and then clips from Alex’s trial and it’s spot on. If the Trial of Tim Heidecker hadn’t came out first, you would have sworn it was a parody of Alex.

To be honest, I still can’t tell the difference.
Probably because those two links are exactly the same. (Happens to the best of us.)
Fixed. Darn phone crashes when I change tabs.
The Onion will also sell Infowars merchandise and share the proceeds with the Sandy Hook families.
I’m grateful to The Onion for many reasons throughout the recent decades. And it seems I have a new reason to add to the list.
Alex Jones has not commented on the Onion’s new plan to take over Infowars.
Heh
theonion.info has all you need to know.
Such is the InfoWars I envision: An infinite virtual surface teeming with ads. Not just ads, but scams! Not just scams, but lies with no object, free radical misinformation, sentences and images so poorly thought out that they are unhealthy even to view for just a few seconds. The InfoWars of old was only the prototype for the hell I know we can build together: A digital platform where, every day, visitors sacrifice themselves at altars of delusion and misery, their minds fully disintegrating on contact.
😆
This is quite a paradox. It’s a true story, not satire, meaning that it does belong on /c/nottheonion; and I would indeed look at the headline and think “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.” But it’s definitely about the satire newspaper and website The Onion, which is explicitly what this community is not about. It says so in the name!
We don’t have a community called “quantum superposition of onion”, so this will have to do
Seems like we both do and don’t, which is the best possible outcome I think.
It’s about The Onion, not in The Onion.
Still alliacious.
Ah, new word unlocked.
Alliaceous is an adjective meaning to resemble, smell, or taste like garlic or onions. It often describes plants belonging to the Allium genus, such as leeks, chives, and shallots, which are characterized by their pungent, pungent, and savory scent.
Thank you, saved me the trouble of looking it up! There’s a word I’ll probably never find occasion to use.
Next time someone doesn’t put enough onion in a dish you can ask for it to be “more alliacious.”
Sorry, yeah. I’m using it to mean “of or relating to onions.”
They’re pungent and pungent!
It’s technically about Global Tetrahedron acquiring InfoWars along side of its other property The Onion.
So we’re safely in nottheonion territory but don’t try to post this in notglobaltetrahedron.
Well you can also pronounce the name of the community as “not the onion” as in “oh no its the onion!”
Run for your lives!
The fact this deal was ever able to be blocked in the first place is indisputable proof that the law has always been on the side of the fascists.
I subscribed (actual money) to the Onion when the original deal went down. Glad I continue to do so, they do good work.
Same here! And got one for a family member as well. The original news gave me my first bit of hope after the election.
Does this fit for NotTheOnion? It specifically is The Onion. Not complaining or anything, just had the thought.
God its onionception. Its both not an onion headline but yet is also an onion headline at the same time.
And it’s got layers… like an onion.
I guess that means we’re done?
I’m pretty sure this article is a paradox.
Perhaps they are coming in as a Shallot?
It is fitting for the world’s leading satirical news outlet to take control over info wars in their global war on info.
Actually, if the onion ran info wars, it would tell people the site is satire. Which would be the first piece of correct information on the platform.
My apologies for the downvote. The article used their instead of there and it’s quite a terrible website in terms of ads. Not a lot of substance to the article I regret my click.
do you seriously not use an adblocker?

Give dan the desk
Hoping they’ll do a series on all the times alex jones said god talks to him and tells him what time it is.
I pray to Jah that this really happens.
That’s Mr. Rule to you!
