The Onion Said To Be Negotiating Sale |
How The Onion Will Sell Out |

"This is a terrible time to be in the news business," said Arthur J. Marsinning Jr., who recently purchased The Onion for an undisclosed sum said to be north of $14,000. "Therefore, it stands to reason that this is an excellent time to be in the fake-news business."
Marsinning plans to combine staff and facilities with those of his current company, Wackee Novelties Inc., which manufactures party favors such as Blaat! brand artificial throw-up and Whoopsy-Poop brand artificial dog-doo. "If information-gathering is anything like disgusting-substances production," he added, "then I'm pretty sure that the fake kind will not only smell better, but be far more profitable, too."

There are two big "tells" that something like this was coming. First, they are publicly listing their public relations agency which is something they have never done before. Second, the staff for the online video arm "Onion News Network" is now clearly overshadowing the dead-trees editorial staff.
Paradigm shift.

I can't imagine the print edition being so necessary in their business model that they would suffer too much if they did away with print altogether. The website has always been huge, and the overhead of keeping that afloat has to be pretty minimal.
Having said that, I am very curious to know what kind of retarded advertiser desires they had to deliberate over.
Leaked emails from Onion creative dealing with horrible PR devils, please... :[]
