A non-satirical version of this very real story: https://www.status.news/p/the-onion-acquires-infowars  @mycotropic @ernie I am going to pin it on my account. Ahhโฆthe irony that will be lost on Alexโs followersโฆ.  @ernie I love this line where they deliberately avoid putting that scumbagโs name into print. โโฆ the hapless owner of InfoWars (a forgettable man with an already-forgotten name)โฆโ  > our philanthropic efforts that include business school scholarships for promising cult leaders Where do I apply? @ernie So itโs basically a Catch & Kill, with the support of the Sandy Hook families. Excellent!  @patmadigan @ernie they plan to relaunch infowars and use it to make for of right-wing people selling supplement, the same way clickhole make fun of buzzword list  @cr4shmycar @ernie next up: twitler, after that anything the walking cheeto coated ones family has TOUCHED.  This. THIS THIS THIS!! The original story was wonderful, but now they've 'Onioned' it perfectly.   .@ernie "Whatโs next for InfoWars remains a live issue. The excess funds initially allocated for the purchase will be reinvested into our philanthropic efforts that include business school scholarships for promising cult leaders, a charity that donates elections to at-risk third world dictators, and a new pro bono program pairing orphans with stable factory jobs at no cost to the factories." These are excellent writing prompts.  @ernie  |
@ernie Is it satire though? I really can't tell.
