By The Wasted Onion: ‘Our Tech Makes Killing Children Feel More Like A Game’ Says Arms Manufacturer CEO
MEMPHIS, TN—Professionally marketing his businesses capabilities to a boardroom full of government officials, Kevin Watts, CEO of an arms manufacturer, said his company's technology makes killing children feel just like how it does in a video game. “I can assure you ladies and gentlemen, my company’s technology is so sophisticated and powerful that it makes the act of snuffing out the life of a small 5-year-old child as their eyes become unblinking and body stiff feel as emotionally detached as running an NPC over in Grand Theft Auto,” said Mr. Watts to the boardroom of U.S. government officials all frothing at the mouth at the very thought of killing even more innocent children. “Our brave troops won’t need to think once about the arms industry's hand in perpetuating violence and enabling one of the most powerful and evil empires thirst for endless power and desire to completely conquer the world and have it grovel at its feet. That’s all thanks to my company's new drone that can make dropping a missile payload upon a remote village of ordinary people feel like gameplay from the latest Call of Duty or Battlefield.” The CEO went on to exuberantly recall testing out a new nerve agent his company had developed on three civilians with terminal conditions, describing how he laughed manically as the subjects convulsed and vomited up blood while begging for mercy or death, whichever came first. At press time, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon had begun a bidding war to purchase Kevin Watt’s company, showing excitement at the possibilities for new cruel and unusual pain that could be unleashed upon humanity that all the while gives the same satisfaction when one jumps on a Goomba in a Super Mario game.

By The Wasted Onion: Keir Starmer Defects To Reform UK
LONDON—Taking a brief moment to adjust his tie before speaking at the lectern placed outside 10 Downing Street Thursday, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced he has defected to Nigel Farage's Reform UK party. “While my government has begun the massive task of bringing our plan for change to Great Britain, I’ve realised that continuing to be the leader of the Labour party has been detrimental to this plan. With all of that in mind, I am announcing today that I am joining Reform UK as their newest MP. Working hand in hand with Nigel Farage will allow us to bring my plan for change and his plan of eradicating minorities to life, plus they’re polling way better than Labour right now so I’m better hitching my wagon sooner rather than later,” said the Prime Minister to a shocked press gaggle before he proceeded to scale the nearest streetlight and affix a Union Jack to it. “I am delighted to hear that Starmer has made the right choice, realising that Britain needs reform and a party that doesn’t hide its vitriol towards migrants, the LGBTQ+ community, antisemitism, racism, sexism and overall bigotry behind a thinly veiled centrist ideology and instead a far-right populist one. I’m so excited for Daddy Don to come and save Britain from woke transgender snowflake liberal cucks!” said Reform UK leader Nigel Farage somewhere far away from his constituency of Clackton. Later after the announcement, Starmer announced at a press briefing with Farage that they planned to replace the “one in, one out” policy with a new “just fucking stab them to death” policy. At press time, former Prime Minister and Conservative party leader Liz Truss announced her bid to become the next leader of the Labour party, claiming that Chancellor Rachael Reeves “can’t even fuck up the economy” as well as Mrs. Truss could.

By The Wasted Onion: Tame Impala Concert Goers Confused Why More Than One Guy On Stage
INGLEWOOD, CA—Baffled and confused as the Australian psychedelic music project began to perform, attendees to Tame Impala’s Deadbeat Tour at the Kia Forum Tuesday were confused to see more than one guy on stage. “I’m honestly just so distraught, all the memes on the internet told me that Tame Impala is ‘just one guy,’ and then I came to see them live for the first time just to discover there are like 6 other dudes alongside Kevin Parker playing his tunes. Now I know why there’s a song called ‘Loser’ on the new album, it's because we’re all losers for thinking Tame Impala was just one guy,” said concert goer Mike Grey during the band's performance of “Turn Up The Sunshine” from the Minions: The Rise of Gru soundtrack featuring a Madame Tussauds waxwork of Diana Ross stood beside Kevin Parker as he sang. “I’m shocked. You’re telling me Kevin Parker doesn’t play all of the instruments to ‘Let It Happen’ at once? He gets other guys to play with him? I thought he had like, tendrils like an eldritch horror out of some lovecraftian work that allowed him to wield every single instrument at once. Or at the very least I thought he’d have tamed impalas playing with him and not just some other random Australian guys,” said another attendee to the show Martha Wanton as she threw her Currents vinyl at the stage in contempt. Before departing the stage after the show, Kevin Parker made an unintelligible statement that experts at The Wasted Onion believe could be a rudimentary and simplistic language known as “Australian.” At press time, attendees to Radiohead’s Europe tour at the Movistar Arena in Madrid were surprised to discover the band was actually composed of frontman Thom Yorke and 4 other identical clones all frantically gyrating around the stage as they performed “The Gloaming” from the band's album Hail to the Thief.
By The Wasted Onion: BBC Director General And Head Of News Resign After Learning What Acronym Stands For
WESTMINSTER, LONDON—Signalling the beginnings of a major crisis at the publicly owned broadcaster, BBC Director General Tim Davie and CEO of BBC News Deborah Turness resigned Sunday after learning what the corporation's acronym stands for. “Like all public organisations, the BBC is not perfect, and we must always be open, transparent and accountable. While not being the only reason, the current debate around what this corporation's acronym stands for has understandably contributed to my decision. Overall the BBC is delivering well, but there have been some very weird and uncomfortable conversations regarding what ‘BBC’ stands for and as director general I have to take ultimate responsibility,” said Tim Davie’s statement in part. “I have taken the difficult decision that it will no longer be my role to lead you in the collective vision that we all have: to pursue new ways to shoehorn articles about ‘The Traitors.’ The ongoing controversy around what ‘BBC’ stands for has reached a stage where it is causing damage to the BBC – an institution that I love almost as much as I love The Wasted Onion. As the CEO of BBC News and Current Affairs, the buck stops with me - and I took the decision to offer my resignation to the Director-General last night - only to find out the bastard beat me to the punch,” said a statement from Deborah Turness posted to the Cbeebies section of the BBC website. Shortly after news broke of Mr. Davie’s resignation, a spokesperson for the BBC said the broadcaster was “deeply sorry” that the public had to learn what their acronym stood for this way, assuring that it was "committed to representing those of all sizes.” At press time, Britons were surprised to discover that Tim Davie claiming in his resignation statement that he was “BBC through and through,” was real and not a fake quote written by The Wasted Onion.
