Last I heard they were still in the process. Has it been finalized yet?

Edit- Awaiting the OK from Texas judges.

It would cost the Onion $81k a month for the domain. The best part is that Jones is going through bankruptcy, having to sell off almost all of his belongings to compensate the families he harassed and slandered (libelled?)

The most perfectly cast part in all of cinema.

Wouldn't it be both if he says it on a podcast and then writes an article?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Did he write an article? I thought he always did spoken.

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

I was under the assumption infowars was also a website with blogs or dumb articles on it. I have no idea, though because I had no reason to visit his website.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So, can we get ahold of the cue cards?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Still doesn't count unless the cue cards were shown to the public.

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 47 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Apparently finalized a few days ago. But the news was published in The Onion, so you can be forgiven for thinking it might be satire.

[–] THE_GR8_MIKE@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Yeah, they're posting it all over the place. I've seen other platforms also posting it everywhere.

Not finalised. Needs court approval.

[–] homes@piefed.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

It would cost the Onion $81k a month for the domain

all things considered, that could be renegotiated with the registrar now that Jones is no longer the owner. It's no longer worth that as it's not raking in Jones-level revenue. Sure, it's still worth a lot, especially with The Onion owning it, but, still, not $81k/mo.

[–] rImITywR@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

That $81K/mo isn't going to the registrar. Its going to the manager of Jone's debt to be distributed to his creditors, including the families of Sandy Hook.

81k per month, that's wild

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 7 points 2 weeks ago

A deal was signed, but it needs approval from a Texas court before it can be finalised.

It’s weird that my two most trusted institutions are a satirical newspaper and a rude card game, right?

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Didn't the rude card game have an employee institutionalised for not laughing at their n-word jokes?

Lost a bit of respect in my book there.

[–] _g_be@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

One of my most trustworthy news sources is an imitation from cartoon which presents as a talking fish on Instagram

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Infowars is making the tshirts gay.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 weeks ago

Onion really needs rainbow frog shirts with the Infowars logo.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

So they're wearing shirts with which they self identify as low iq now? Are they getting self aware? Before ai? That's a surprise..

Or is it a black shirt with low iq, basically fully bringing out in the open the thinly veiled dog whistle of trump using the term whenever he's talking about women of color?

Yeah more that, i think

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

It's a reference to trump calling Alex jones, Candace owens and some others "low IQ" in a recent social media rant. Thing is, no one is gonna know this and they're just gonna wear a shirt that accidentally admits a harsh truth lol

It is funny, but I'm going to wait on buying any InfoWars merch until the change in ownership has really sunk into the collective consciousness. InfoWars is just too culturally toxic atm, and I don't want to carry anything around remotely related to Alex Jones.

[–] Saprophyte@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Pride colors with an onion in the middle.

I'd say you're safe, but... I had a woman yell at me for "pushing my agenda in her face in front of her child" while quietly reading on my phone eating at Panda Express with one of these color run t-shirts on.

[–] tektite@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh yeah? Well, that woman hasn't gone running since 1977! And she uses [Brand] so her wash colors don't run! How dare you put those sick ideas in her child's mind! And in a Panda Express, no less. Pandas don't run either! Is nowhere safe??

[–] Saprophyte@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I would never disrespect the panda. I was there to worship at the altar of orange chicken. It is a holy place for me.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Yeah but limited edition... If they do succeed, and it does sink into the collective consciousness, then these items might end up being desirable. Could be cool to sport the og Onion Wars shirt years from now

I dunno, Alex Jones sharing old Adult Swim Tim Heidecker content like it’s real information is pretty damn funny.

[–] cybercafe@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

On paper, I feel like onion acquiring infowars could have been kind of uninteresting, but the way it’s unfolding has me dying laughing. Tim Heidecker being involved, Alex still having access to the studio, shirtless, ranting and raving about how the left are body snatchers (as if he didn’t completely bring this on himself).

It’s borderline adult swim absurdity. I love it

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm holding out for the rainbow bullfrog.

[–] Commander_Keen@reddthat.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

Erik’s got you bro! (Internet comment etiquette)

Cheers! But waiting on grabbing the Onion’s version as well.

I audibly said "yayyyy" at my screen when I saw the shirt lol

[–] QueenMidna@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

A big cut off the proceeds goes directly to the Sandy Hook families, too

[–] lime@feddit.nu 6 points 2 weeks ago

i really want the tote but at the same time i'm pretty sure most people won't get it. they'd just see the logo, google it, and think i'm an idiot. if they'd made a pride-patterned bag with the plain logo on it i'd be more interested.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

onion may be making a merchandise, but they did not take over anything, so far… they have a plan to rent the domain for 6 months, it now depends on a texas judge… so far the infowars is still full of alex jones’ shit, as everyone can verify by typing that address into browser.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/business/infowars-alex-jones-the-onion.html

it is fascinating how people are willing to shout nonsense that is not true, as long as they like the nonsense… cool (mis)info war 😂

Can they make a frog sized version so we can gay the frogs?

[–] BandDad@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

www.raygunsite.com if you want more quality merchandise! (Shameless Iowa business plug.)

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

I really don't like wearing brands, but this one is testing my resolve

There's going to be so many confused retirees.
