Every academic has one core theory they don't actually believe in, but can't stop using because it’s so **neat**

Remember when we all turned to the Great British Baking Show because it was so calming and NICE? May I recommend revisiting that coping mechanism, but with the ULTRA-nice Great Canadian Baking Show? It’s niceness squared.

Hi everyone. The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars. We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website. We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off. I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.
