The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.
It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.
Despite the fact that Charlie Kirk is not in this documentary, our distributor, a major national movie chain, got cold feet and pulled out. Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile had Donald Trump in it, so they bailed.
Look, I don't think it's good that we can't make fun of the world's biggest dead pedophile because he was friends with the president. So we kept going.
We called every independent theatre we knew in major metro areas to see if they wanted to screen it. Most said yes. Since we announced this morning, we've been inundated with requests to screen it across the world.
Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile will now be in more theatres on October 2nd than our original plan.
We went into this knowing we'd almost certainly lose money on it, but that's not the point. It's one of the funniest things we've ever done, and we want it out there.
Throughout this process we've learned something much more valuable: If you make good art right now, people will bust their ass to help you.
Without further ado, here's the trailer for Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.
