There was a term for it that I can't remember, like "wrapper" or "shell" — the Onion would provide content, ads and "camera-ready" layout for the 8 outside pages of the tabloid; a local paper would then sell ads and create content for the guts, then print and distribute. They often competed with or killed off local Alt-rag papers but often they'd merge. The one in Denver was mostly music and arts; the one in Oakland's guts were more local interest news (and music and arts) because it had to compete with an awesome paper called the East Bay Express.

But yes it started in Madison. Maybe back then it was one print run, sure.

Here’s Why I Decided To Buy ‘InfoWars’

Nation’s Idiots Announce Plans To Jump Off Their Roofs Into A Pile Of Snow And Break Their Fucking Legs

Popular Deals on The Inventory1/14/19 9:57AM•SEE MORE:WEATHER




CARBONDALE, IL—Stating their dumbass intentions to get a running start and scream “cowabunga,” the nation’s idiots announced plans Monday to jump off their roofs into a pile of snow and break their fucking legs. “We dunces stand on our roof gutters today, fully prepared to jump 20 feet to the ground and straight into a mountain of powder that we assume will break our fall, but almost certainly will cause our bones to crack,” said 29-year-old dipshit Lyle Bennett, one of thousands of morons nationwide who will snap their limbs in motherfucking half after trying out a backflip, slipping on a roof tile, or doing a pencil dive and holding their nose as if going into a pool. “We will, of course, ask our idiot friend if he’s filming yet before we plunge down and shatter our arms, legs, and necks in one fell swoop. Consequently, you should expect us to repeatedly show our broken bones to the camera, flailing them around and freaking everyone the fuck out.” The nation’s buddies added that they promise to put the whole thing on YouTube, including the part where they simultaneously yell out “Are you okay, dude?”
