The Onion Adds Video "News"

Everyone's favorite news source The Onion is apparently getting into the TV news game. Sort of.

Starting next week the free weekly paper is going to be launching the Onion News Network off of its website and they claim that "you will never read again." Don't believe us, here's the promo:

Of course this won't be first spoof of TV news, there is a long history of it which the Onion has been tangentially involved in for some time now. And apparently the paper is really serious about this, investing a million bucks and 15 staff writers into the venture.

To be honest, we're pretty excited. How could we not be? These are, after all, the folks who brought us such classic and presceint articles like "F*ck Everything We're Doing Five Blades?"
