By The Wasted Onion: Met Police Successfully Arrest Protesters Wearing Palestine Action T-Shirts While Migrant Hotel Burnt To Ground In Background

WESTMINSTER, LONDON—Providing an update regarding protests against the UK government’s proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, the Metropolitan Police announced Sunday it has arrested individuals wearing Palestine Action t-shirts while a nearby migrant hotel was burnt to the ground. “We can confirm we have detained multiple individuals at a protest in Parliament Square for showing support for a proscribed group under the Terrorism Act 2000. We were also informed of an act of arson on a hotel holding asylum seekers which eventually crumbled to the ground, but hey, you win some you lose some!” said the head of the Met Police Sir Mark Rowley in a statement published to the Met’s official website. “Look, it's simple, if you commit violent acts against minorities, we’ll leave you alone, we just can’t be arsed honestly. But I swear to fucking god if you even think of having any empathy towards Palestinian children currently starving in Gaza because of Israel’s blockade and genocide, then we’re gonna throw the whole book at you very violently,” said Mr. Rowley in a brief interview before being ushered into a private room by civil servants. Moments later, Rowley emerged from the room to inform the press he had been fired as Commissioner of the Met for using the terms “blockade” and “genocide” when discussing the current humanitarian crisis in Gaza. At press time, an 18-year-old Reform member who goes by “Big Dick Dillon” had been announced as the new head of the Met.

By The Wasted Onion: JD Vance Also Unsure Whether Trump Is Dead

WASHINGTON—Expressing confusion regarding the commander-in-chief’s health during an interview, Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday he was unsure whether President Donald Trump was dead or not. “To be completely frank with you, I haven’t got a clue right now if the president is still breathing as we speak right now. For all I know, he could be faced down on his desk in the oval office dead with his hand jammed down a Pringles can,” said the vice president during an interview with lesser news outlet and borderline state-sponsored media Fox News. “The last time I spoke to the president he talked a lot about Heaven and how it didn’t have glamorous penthouses for the real ‘bad boys’ in Hell for some reason. He has a strange sense of humour sometimes, but that's what the American people find so endearing about our president, his unyielding ability to make every word that comes out of his mouth make him seem like an even bigger dickhead.” When asked if he would speak to the president to alleviate rumours suggesting the president was dead, Vance gulped before saying “gee whiz, would you look at the time! I’ve got to have my uh, power nap. Yeah, power nap. It’s tiring being Vice President y’know! Anyway got to go bye bye!” before the vice president dashed to the nearest fire escape. At press time, JD Vance said on his X/Twitter account that he was ready “at the drop of a MAGA hat” to assume the role of president should something happen to Trump before later reiterating that he was “still unsure if anything has happened to the president, such as him hypothetically croaking in the middle of a night after one too many McNuggets.”

By The Wasted Onion: Google Pixel 10 Introduces Self Flipping Function To Show Ads When Put Screen-Side Down

BROOKLYN, NY—Unveiling its latest smartphone offering at its annual promotional event in its New York office, tech giant Google introduced a new feature for the Google Pixel 10 that allows the device to flip itself over if placed screen-side down to show adverts to users. “The all-new Google Pixel 10 is not just our most advanced phone yet, with the power of generative AI built from the ground up and woven into the very fabric of the device, but we’ve also innovated by giving the Pixel 10 some little booster jets that allow it to flip itself over if placed faced down so it can assault your senses with YouTube ads for whatever sex AI chatbot won our latest advertising bidding gauntlet,” said Senior Vice President of Devices & Services Rick Osterloh during the company’s Made by Google event. “This brings new, exciting opportunities for the Google Ads team, who will be able to rent out those ever shortening moments when you’re not looking at your phone to whatever random scammer who pays us enough money to show you ads on your screen and at full volume after it flips itself over using those sick as fuck little jets,” said Osterloh to the events host Jimmy Fallon, who softly pleaded that Google fulfil its promise not to release his search history as long as he hosts the product launch to their satisfaction. The tech giant eased the minds of consumers that the new ad and phone flipping feature was also powered by its Gemini AI, with it being able to determine how much power would be needed to flip the device over, choosing from “soft burst” up to “death laser.” At press time, Google confirmed in a blog post that the Pixel 10 would be capable of self-destructing if a user attempted to use ad-blocking technology on the device.
