Plot summary
Global Tetrahedron owns the Onion News, and it wants its other products pushed inside the newscast, among them the action franchise Cock Puncher. Norm Archer, the veteran anchor, objects to the arrangement, particularly when a toy penguin waddles across his desk to promote one of the company's films, and Dana Dobbs and Kip Kendall report alongside him. The reports cover politics, health, culture and entertainment, and around the news items sit commercials, music video parodies, celebrity profiles and a training camp for terrorists. Commentators weigh in on how the program is going, and one of them presses for a positive portrayal of an African American character.
