Today, The Onion launched its new website, Clickhole -- a so-genius-it-make-you-angry parody of the Buzzfeed-type quizzes and list-articles that you've seen and done a thousand times (if you were wondering which Disney Princess I am, I'm Jasmine).
The site - in a genius move of self-reference - is prominently sponsored by Jack Link's Beef Jerky. It all adds up to be the classic Onion cross-section between comedy and pointed social-commentary.

Now start clicking. You'll never believe what happens next. Yay ad-revenue!
