Either the ultimate joke or or the ultimate mailing list

TheOnion.com:

Today we celebrate a new addition to the Global Tetrahedron LLC family of brands. And let me say, I really do see it as a family. Much like family members, our brands are abstract nodes of wealth, interchangeable assets for their patriarch to absorb and discard according to the opaque whims of the market. And just like family members, our brands regard one another with mutual suspicion and malice.

All told, the decision to acquire InfoWars was an easy one for the Global Tetrahedron executive board.

Founded in 1999 on the heels of the Satanic “panic” and growing steadily ever since, InfoWars has distinguished itself as an invaluable tool for brainwashing and controlling the masses. With a shrewd mix of delusional paranoia and dubious anti-aging nutrition hacks, they strive to make life both scarier and longer for everyone, a commendable goal. They are a true unicorn, capable of simultaneously inspiring public support for billionaires and stoking outrage at an inept federal state that can assassinate JFK but can’t even put a man on the Moon.

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.

I glanced over at the IW site. I can't tell how much has changed (never looked there before). It seems broken in Chrome on Linux (none of the links click), but it mostly seems functional in Firefox. There's some story about the "fake" sale to TheOnion, so they seem to be working on it.

Maybe boxley can tell us how different it is. ;-)

Best wishes,
Scott.

This is blowing up all over various real news sites. But it's the onion. How can the onion ever be this real for this big ideal? While simultaneously paying lip service to the insanity. They would be a great owner for this particular resource until it finally dies.
