I've found a lot of Onion headlines pretty mid and uninspired recently, but this one is aces. No notes.

There was a change of ownership, they have just been bought by a few superfans. Since then the headlines are noticably stronger

The new ownership group is Global Tetrahedron. According to their website, they were "born of the shadows, and are committed to control in all its forms." They've also donated "300,000 guns to underprivileged communities".

My understanding is that the name itself is from older onion articles where when they needed an evil corporation name that is what they used. So they are indeed super fans.
