In a move that is sure to turn heads, a source close to Alex Jones has revealed that the filmmaker plans on changing the name of his various business ventures sometime this summer. Beginning in June, Infowars.com, as well as his daily radio show, will officially be known as INFOMERCIAL.com.
When asked why this change was taking place, the source said, “Alex wanted the name to reflect his mission, and since we all know that Jones is increasingly into the hard-sell, and he wants his audience to buy buy buy; what better suited his purpose than INFOMERCIAL.com? Heck, Pepsi, McDonalds, and Chevrolet don’t even push their products as hard as Alex does.”
In addition, the source went on to say that Jones may also change the name of PrisonPlanet.com to PURCHASE PLANET.com.
“Ya figure,” he said, “that every time Alex calls into a radio show, the only reason is to plug his latest video or his pay-per-view website. He’s notorious for using these shows (and their hosts) for free publicity and free advertising. We even joke about how many times he can frantically pitch his products in 60 seconds. I think his record so far is 12 times in one minute. But don’t worry,” the man laughed, “he’ll beat that sometime soon! Sure, it’s all shameless promotion, but Alex doesn’t care. Opportunism is his schtick.”
Finally, when asked what affect these changes will have in the future, the source replied, “There’s a question in the newspaper business that goes something like this: what is NEWS? The answer, of course, is everything that fits between the ads. Similarly, anyone who has ever listened to Alex’s radio show knows that the “news” is only what fits between him selling his videos and over-priced t-shirts, or trying to get paid subscribers to his website. One of these days we might even do away with the news altogether and run one big long infomercial, or a tape-loop that repeats over and over again: BUY MY VIDEO. BUY MY VIDEO. BUY MY VIDEO. I mean, that’s pretty much what people are getting right now anyway, so why not just turn it into one great big money-grubbing plug!”
