At Long Last, InfoWars Is Ours

The Onion just dropped a victory-lap essay claiming “At Long Last, InfoWars Is Ours,” complete with a cartoon-villain vision of an internet arena stuffed with ads, scams, and life coaches demanding $800. Cue the comment section going full WWE. One camp is cackling at the absurdist flex; the other is waving court docs like penalty flags. Bigyabai cracked that in a world with betting site Polymarket, this reads less like parody and more like Monday. Others immediately hit the brakes, pointing to a New York Times report saying any deal still needs a judge’s blessing and involves licensing the site from a court-appointed manager — not a done-and-dusted buyout.

Meanwhile, rubberneckers actually visited InfoWars.com and shrugged: “Doesn’t look Onion-run yet?” Another joker insisted the satire handoff might be invisible because “everything already looks fake.” The thread split into two deliciously chaotic storylines: fans cheering a potential culture-judo where America’s biggest parody brand turns a conspiracy hub into an ad-soaked funhouse; and process purists muttering “not until the gavel drops.” Sprinkle in memes like “Spot the Difference: InfoWars vs. The Onion Edition” and you’ve got peak internet energy. Bottom line: the bit is hilarious, the paperwork is serious, and until a judge signs, it’s all punchlines and preorders.
