01/17/07 09:45 PM: Washington Post partners with The Onion

And no, this is not an Onion article…

From the Post itself:

“The Onion, the Gen-X satiric newspaper, is coming to Washington and will partner with The Washington Post, which will produce and print the paper and sell local ads.

The Onion, which also maintains a Web site, will be distributed free in news boxes and by hawkers in Washington beginning the first week in April. The Post will be paid for its business services.”

A Washington Post spokesperson said he believes the Onion will be popular amongst young Washingtonians.

Just make sure White House staffers don’t pick it up on the way to work, they may think it’s real.
