    The Onion is a complementary extension of UCI’s Spanish- and English-language digital portfolio, broadening the Company’s multicultural, digital footprint and its reach with a highly coveted millennial audience.

    I’m not sure if it is possible to jam any additional corporate buzzwords into that bullshit paragraph.

      Synergy?

      From the Simpson’s Poochie episode:

      Animator: Excuse me, but “proactive” and “paradigm”? Aren’t these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important?

    Can we talk about the cat that looks exactly like Adam Driver yet?

    Because it’s kind of freaking me out.

      What if there’s a cat in a shelter somewhere that looks just like me?

    It’s not often you see someone post a job application on the bulletin board of her current employer.

      “maintaining the integrity of the brand and editorial voice”

      Um, do they realize that the site releases only made up stories?

        The purchase also includes The AV Club, which runs factual stories (although much of it is opinion, in the form of reviews and recaps). There actually is some question of them maintaining their editorial voice and integrity after being bought by a company that makes the type of content The AV Club regularly reviews.

      “Local Retail Clerk Going To Give It Another Few Minutes Before Switching from ‘Have a Nice Day’ to ‘Have a Nice Evening”.

      I love the Onion.

      BTW, if you haven’t seen The Onion movie, do. It’s dated. Produced in the late ‘90s and not released till like ‘05 or something. But my goodness, just laughs. Amazing how many people never heard of it.

        Does this mean that old Spanish-speaking people will post parody articles on their Facebook wall thinking it’s real, just like English speaking old people do?

          We might. Apparently, it’s a means of assimilation.
