.Clickhole, the new parody site from the brains behind The Onion is taking aim at the onslaught of viral news, specifically Buzzfeed. The site launched Thursday morning, and you'll never believe what happens next....
Maybe that's a hard sell — Clickhole won't enlighten you to any higher truth, or cure cancer, or reveal the powers behind The Secret — but the site is gutbustingly funny so it will at least make you laugh a whole bunch. "ClickHole prefers to think of you and every other person on earth as nothing more than an empty vessel existing purely to share content with other empty vessels," the site says in its introduction. That should indicate what you're in for.
