Myspace & The Onion Announced a Partnership

Via Middle East Times -

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA -- MySpace Wednesday added The Onion's notoriously mocking news satire to the popular social networking Web site's youthful recipe.

MySpace jokingly referred to The Onion as "America's Finest News Source" as it announced a partnership to deliver the organization's tongue-in-cheek stories online at http://myspace.com/onionnews.

"The news business is like the tobacco business: you want to reach new readers at as young and impressionable an age as possible," Onion president Sean Mills said. "MySpace was, of course, a natural partner in that regard."

Onion videos, radio broadcasts, written stories, and blogs are at its profile page on MySpace, which also features serious fare such as profiles of US presidential candidates and political discussion forums.
