Is that for real or has the takeover made that unnecessary? Can't tell anymore is they're serious

Anymore? The onion is, and always has been, dead serious.

Especially the jokes.

“Me? A subversive political agent? No I am just a simple tailor as you can see, look around my shop and all you will find are handmade jokes created by the best craftsman in the Alpha Quadrant”

Already, our trained technicians are navigating through the website and deleting every instance of the letter “T.” Soon, they will move onto the letter “E.”

That seems to be their article announcing the takeover, if so, that's a pretty great way to prove they have the same sense of humour and intentions.

Also, looking forward to new episodes of onion news network. Hope they can get some of the original staff back too, the "morning show" hosts were awesome.

That fucking iWheel keyboard had me dying when it came out. "with a single button you can type anything you want."

[–] VindictiveJudge 3 points 6 months ago

Who did the Mactini video? They've got a similar 'one button to type' gag.
