To quote:

"Rich, Famous People Terrified By Launch Of Celebrity Gossip Site," beckons an introductory post on StarWipe.com, the new branch of The Onion empire. Arguably the most mockable sector of modern day media, StarWipe takes aim at celebrities, or as the site calls them, "those most vulnerable members of society​." Helmed by senior editor at The A.V. Club Sean O'Neal, StarWipe launched today, featuring articles like,"Baby Bump Watch: George Clooney" and "It's Unclear What Kim Kardashian Plans To Do With Baby's Placenta." Like all Onion-esque satire, these headlines are sadly, well, more or less believable.

StarWipe's launch comes a year after the successful rollout of the self-aware content farm ClickHole, which successfully tricked Anderson Cooper back in May. While the site points out that celebrities should be terrified, it's really those flimsily-sourced gossip sites that are in the crosshairs.

We spoke with StarWipe editor-in-chief Sean O'Neal on the occasion of the launch. "The thrust of the site is the sort of news reporting I've been doing for about eight years now over at The A.V. Club—with 'news' and 'reporting' in scare quotes, probably—but we'll also appropriate the tabloid tropes of your Peoples, your Us Weeklys, your TMZs, then approach them the same way The Onion and ClickHole look at world events and viral content," O'Neal said. "The difference is we don't have to make anything up, because gossip culture is already fake and ridiculous."

apologies from general idiot who wants to give feedback
this reads like a history of financial transactions - and frankly, mostly glossing over the colossal amounts of money they set on fire. feels like an editor should restructure this whole article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.83.85.29 (talk) 07:32, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
