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.

It's magnificent.

    I'm a bit worried this will turn into qAnon ×10 but just as many people will think it's dead serious.

    Birds aren’t really set as good an example as I’ve seen and it still got out of hand.

    I still can imagine the Pastafarians eventually losing the parody and having fundamentalists someday too.

    Fucking YESSSSSSZZZZZZZ!!! Now we can all claim Info Wars as our god and savior.

    Edit: I hope it goes through.

    The licensing deal has been agreed to by The Onion and the court-appointed administrator. But it is not effective until Judge Guerra Gamble approves it, and Mr. Jones could appeal any ruling. That means the fate of Infowars remains in limbo until the court rules, probably sometime in the next two weeks. Mr. Jones continues to operate Infowars.com and host its weekday program, “The Alex Jones Show.”

    The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially planned to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.”

    I've seen this headline five times during the whole process. I'll believe it when it happens.

    It's kind of amazing how this is all coming together at the same time for Alex: getting his life's "work" bought out from under him while Trump cuts him out of the alt-rot movement altogether. I'm curious how it's all going to go.

    Last I heard, Onion CEO Ben Collins was dating Kat Abughazaleh.

    Before reading the article, I was going to say make it the same but with different tone. Same lies same everything as to show people it remains the same except for the tone. But nah, this new vision sounds interesting.

    This is pretty cool.

    Now, is there any way they can hand the day-to-day operations off to Julian Assange?
