Here’s Why I Decided To Buy ‘InfoWars’ By Bryce P. Tetraeder, Global Tetrahedron CEO ☞ https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/

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.

Posting real life news about the onion on not the onion is quite funny imo

They're going to release completely absurd and hilarious conspiracy theories and the regular followers of InfoWars who didn't know about the change of ownership won't even see the difference.

They start selling dick pills that are slightly larger every month until they are the size of a bar of soap. Anyone who complains is told they aren't 'man' enough to take their dick pills.
