there is a lot of stuff funnier than things that did not happen.
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.
Yeah, I've now unintentionally fed a couple of page views to that terrible website because I keep seeing news that they "took over" only to get jump scared by Alex Jones when I go to verify it.
Nope, they tried. But it turned out that Infowars had so few assets that when the Onion said they'd keep it running and pay royalties to the plaintiffs, that made them the best offer.

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 😂

They also have some fantastic fake products parodying the various gold scams and snake oil Alex Jones has been peddling for years:

Wait the onion actually got InfoWars?
I thought that infamous Texas court overruled and sold it back to Jones?
