It's April 21st, welcome to Entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. The onions parent company just struck a deal to take over info wars after nearly 17 months of drama. Ben Collins, their chief executive at Global Tetrahedron, announced they're licensing the site from Alex Jones to turn it into a full-on parody of, Conspiracy Central. This comes after the onion tried buying it outright last year during Jones' bankruptcy but that sparked a nasty legal fight that killed the original plan. Collins spilled the beans on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow joking about fake ads for Miraclewater that hears everything in Omega 3 fish oil from. Super conservative fish. He even quipped about boiling Jones' old supplements into one megapill which had Maddow cracking up. Their mock site already teases wild products like kits to turn piss into gold or gold into piss, demon guard patches, and secrets to make you float.

Over meadows. It's all aimed at roasting Jones' MAGA crowd. Jones still runs the real info wars for now, and even if a judge greenlights this, he could appeal and drag it out. Ultimately, Collins says the win is owning Jones' name to flood feeds with caricatures that poke holes in the Conspiracy machine.
