A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.
If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.
Rules
- Follow the aussie.zone rules
- We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
- Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
- Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

Its a real Onion headline thats for sure.
It's real. The Onion won the auction for "Jones’s company’s intellectual property, such as its website, customer lists, inventory and certain social media accounts, and the production equipment" (from The Guardian), and worked with the Sandy Hook families to make the finance for the bid work (I think the families reduced their awarded damages to allow the Onions bid to be viable).
