EvilPAC.org ...Because It's Time!

Americans for Prosparody announces the June 5 launch of EvilPAC.org, a satirical website that “celebrates” how billionaires have gamed the U.S. political system to their advantage. The launch will feature an immersive and comedic performance art experience in Manhattan.

EvilPAC.org is an online comedy destination that showcases what it would look like if the billionaires who buy access to power openly celebrated their corruption. It will feature regularly updated articles and essays about shady judges, greedy politicians and the elites who pay to keep these bad actors in their pockets.

The Onion Gets a Serious Book About THE ONION

In 1988, a band of University of Wisconsin–Madison undergrads and dropouts began publishing a free weekly newspaper with no editorial stance other than “You Are Dumb.” Just wanting to make a few bucks, they wound up becoming the bedrock of modern satire over the course of twenty years, changing the way we consume both our comedy and our news. The Onion served as a hilarious and brutally perceptive satire of the absurdity and horrors of late twentieth-century American life and grew into a global phenomenon. Now, for the first time, the full history of the publication is told by one of its original staffers, author and historian Christine Wenc. Through dozens of interviews, Wenc charts The Onion’s rise, its position as one of the first online humor sites, and the way it influenced television programs like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Funny Because It’s True peels back the layers to reveal how a group of young misfits from flyover country unintentionally created a cultural phenomenon.
