If the licensing agreement receives court approval, The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site satirizing its conspiratorial origins, and comedian Tim Heidecker has been hired as creative director.

This brings me so much joy.

    Watch the Trial of Tim Heidecker and then clips from Alex’s trial and it’s spot on. If the Trial of Tim Heidecker hadn’t came out first, you would have sworn it was a parody of Alex.

    To be honest, I still can't tell the difference.

    Probably because those two links are exactly the same. (Happens to the best of us.)
