MySpace Partners With Onion
Well, it was only a matter of time. Wildly successful MySpace and wildly successful satirical news outlet The Onion, have partnered to bring new Onion video, audio and articles to the social networking site.
The Onion/MySpace partnership will create a branded "Onion" community allowing fans to view exclusive content through the video hub as well as via the Onion’s new MySpace profile 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's chief Sean Mills said in a press release. "MySpace was, of course, a natural partner in that regard."
The deal also launches The Onion’s first-ever staff blog. "The Wall Street Journal is all well and good, but The Onion News Network represents the best in hard-hitting investigative journalism," said MySpace's Jeff Berman. "Also, we lost a bet."
