A very big Onion announcement: The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

I keep seeing this "we live in two different worlds" Facebook bullshit. Sure thing, lady. You were a huge Chris Gaines fan. You never even heard of this Garth Brooks.
