MONTEREY, CA — Readers of the farcical newspaper The Onion, rejoice! The LEEK, a Homeland Security focused journal has taken satire to new heights! Micki Trum, CEO of The LEEK, has managed to take a tiny start-up of eight people and, with the help of technology, build it to a massive empire of eight people. Focusing on the bottomless mirth of Homeland Security, The LEEK has been able to focus readership to an exclusive group of about sixty people. Journalists agree that it is quality, not quantity that counts. Using Slack and Medium, some of the geeks working at The LEEK have been able to amass over fifty followers on Twitter and other social media sites!

While the newspaper, The Onion may have been around since the internet began, it has taken a maven like The LEEK to really turn up the heat on satire. We diced the site to bring you a list of our favorite articles:

Of course, keeping readership so tiny in this age of instant communication is no small feat. But, as any chef will tell you, onions are good, but LEEKS are better!
