    Fucking YESSSSSSZZZZZZZ!!! Now we can all claim Info Wars as our god and savior.

    Edit: I hope it goes through.

    The licensing deal has been agreed to by The Onion and the court-appointed administrator. But it is not effective until Judge Guerra Gamble approves it, and Mr. Jones could appeal any ruling. That means the fate of Infowars remains in limbo until the court rules, probably sometime in the next two weeks. Mr. Jones continues to operate Infowars.com and host its weekday program, “The Alex Jones Show.”

    The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially planned to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.”

      What if…they hired Alex Jones, to play a character named Jones Alex, who does his whole show naked, except for a bowtie?

      All the other stuff Tim had planned for the new show, Jones Alex can say. Same show, just evrn more absurd
