I'm not sure if this goes in "The Onion" or "Not The Onion".

[–] BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml 17 points 9 months ago

why not both

I feel like this is the one exception where this news belongs everywhere.

Huh, never thought I'd be an Infowars listener, but then I also never thought Trump would be a two-term president. So I guess this is just a strange timeline.

I was thinking we were in the Darkest Timeline, but was confused because nobody is wearing evil eye patches or goatees

[–] KingOfTheCouch@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

It turns out eye patches and goatees are signs of good people.

Why would a reputable news source like The Onion want to tarnish its good reputation by buying a website famous for being full of lies that people believe?

Although I couldn’t picture it at the time that is exactly the kind of response I wanted to illicit. Thanks. Hope you enjoyed.

Well played! It took me a bit to both find this gif and learn how to post animated gifs to Lemmy. 🤣

This is fucking hilarious. That Sandy Hook denier can get absolutely fucked.

I can’t tell. Is this real???

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Best onion article yet.

And yes it seems true too!

[–] socphoenix@midwest.social 5 points 9 months ago

NBC news and cnn have also picked this up so appears to be real yes.

Fuuuuuck I hope they hire Jones to parody himself. The irony might actually kill him.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Fuck no, dude doesn't deserve a cent.

Ok better idea, claim that his name is an integral part of the business identity and sue him for his own name, then make AJ a character, like Bozo the clown.

Can't wait to see what they do with it.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Fucking incredible. As good as everything else has been bad.

I wanna know which powerful people jones pissed off because there's no way he'd get got this hard if it wasn't someone with a lot of pull
