OMG, that is awesome! They have a limited amount of time to capitalize on that before all the Infowars drones catch on.

Forget that, just lease the desk to a company that makes gay and trans porn and have people fuck on it.

that’s not what jones used it for?

No. Im suggesting penis on the desk, not an enormous cunt.

There was nothing else in the news today but this. Every person on the planet knows at this point.

Not when they exclusively get their news from fox, tucker, and Alex Jones. Most probably have no clue. One downside to isolationist media.

Except the person who just asked what it was about, I imagine that’s why they asked .

I’m not sure if OP means this, but given that the acquisition headline has been posted 500 times today, I assume they meant “what’s the deal with the desk?”

“It’s the desk from InfoWars, which The Onion just bought.”

Better? Sorry I assumed y’all could put two and two together (it’s four, btw).

I guess “the desk” is something that people who watch infowars know about? “The desk from infowars” doesn’t give the rest of us any context.

Why didn’t they ask about the carpet, or the refrigerator? What’s so special about the desk?

Okay, I did a bit of googling and I think they refer to this desk:

Which… I guess… is iconic if you watch InfoWars?

This whole conversation makes this post make a lot more sense.

the onion bought infowars, the brand, the domain, it’s intellectual property like the character “Alex Jones” all of it belongs to Infowars. Apparently the desk as well

Can’t wait for the reports from the special correspondent Alex Jones (the character)

For true stories that are so ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an !theonion worthy story.
