    For those who don’t want to click the link to Twitter:

    Ben Collins:

    NEWS: My friends and I now own and run The Onion. I’ll be the CEO.

    We’re keeping the entire staff, bringing back The Onion News Network, and share the wealth with staff.

    Basically, we’re going to let them do whatever they want. Get excited.

    Edit: in honor of this news, I would like to share my very favorite The Onion article, and, IMHO, the best one ever written by them:

    Fuck Everything, We’re Doing Five Blades

        I taste cocaine every time I read that! It’s one of the defining elements of the article, and it’s not mentioned once. They capture it really well.
