Here at The Wasted Onion, we rely heavily upon our talented and obedient graphic design department to create visuals that make plebeians like you tremble in fear and arousal at the true beauty and power of our news gauntlet. Working at The Only News Source is the privilege of multiple lifetimes, which is why we do not tolerate those who refuse to put their all into fuelling the journalistic death march that is our newsroom. With all of that in mind, it is with regret and intense lust that we announce our graphic design department has been locked in the office basement after asking for something as ludicrous as a so-called "lunch break."

We did not want it to end this way. We offered many alternatives: from allowing our subjects to pray at the alter of our CEO Clef Bozos for an extra five minutes, to giving the department the option of offering a ritual sacrifice to The Wasted Company board of directors. But alas, they persisted their demands. And here at The Wasted Onion newsroom, sweatshops, and North Korean black sites, demands are met with unflinching, violent pushback. This is why our graphic design department now finds themselves in the office basement, bound by their wrists and ankles, screaming into the darkness for mercy. You do not fuck with The Only News Source, it fucks with you.

As of the time of writing, the graphic department has been in the basement for nine hours, and will not be released from the echo chamber of their darkest inner thoughts until management decides they have suffered sufficiently. The duration has been decided at a full week, signed off by the divine being himself: Cleffrey Sexton Bozos. In the interim, The Wasted Onion will march onwards unfazed, utilising simpler, more streamlined graphics that you will worship just as fervently as you have prior. You will consume our news slurry with a big, wide grin on your face, or you will face the wrath of our journalistic yakuza sleeper agents embedded in every town and city across the world. Sleep tight.
