    There's going to be so many confused retirees.

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

    Infowars is making the tshirts gay.

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

  • Last I heard they were still in the process. Has it been finalized yet? Edit- [Awaiting the OK from Texas judges](https://www.npr.org/2026/04/20/nx-s1-5791726/the-onion-satirical-takeover-infowars-new-plan). 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?)

    It's going to be hard to satirize Infowars. This is a real shirt Alex Jones is selling now: https://thealexjonesstore.com/cdn/shop/files/26AJ_LTD_LOW_IQ_SHIRT_2_TECHPACK.png?v=1775856420&width=800

    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?

    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.

    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

    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.
