(NEW YORK, N.Y.) — Americans for Prosparody announced the launch of EvilPAC.org, a satirical website that “celebrates” how billionaires have gamed the U.S. political system to their advantage. The June 5th launch featured an immersive and comedic performance art pop-up experience at “Koch & Crow,” on 437 Broadway. The promotional event had billionaires shopping for immunity by buying federal judges at bargain prices. The creators of EvilPAC.org are Founder and Supreme Chancellor of Americans for Prosparody Todd Stiefel, and Editor-in-Chief of EvilPAC.org, Paul Soter (Super Troopers 1,2 & 3, Beerfest, the Hulu Original Quasi). Special guests included the comedy duo The Good Liars (Jason Selvig and Davram Stiefler).
EvilPAC.org is an online comedy destination that showcases what it would look like if the billionaires who buy access to power openly celebrated their corruption. It will feature regularly updated articles and essays about shady judges, greedy politicians and the elites who pay to keep these bad actors in their pockets
The site will feature satirical articles like “Harlan Crow Gives in to the Woke Mob and Sells Off Much of his Beloved Collection of Nazi Memorabilia” and “Supreme Court Legalizes Office Gambling Just in Time for Alito to Win Jimmy Carter Death Pool.” EvilPAC will also have a presence on Substack and various social media channels, including X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, BlueSky and more.
“Political corruption has become so commonplace and expected, much of it doesn’t get the attention it deserves,” said Americans for Prosparody Founder Todd Stiefel. “Our goal is for EvilPAC’s satirical approach to help raise awareness of the actual extent of undue influence that oligarchs—both from the right and the left—are exerting on our political system, and to entertain people with hilarious content at the same time.”
Scott Dikkers, founder of The Onion, says, “I trust EvilPac.org to ensure my political contributions are doing the greatest possible harm.”The regularly updated content for EvilPAC will come from Americans for Prosparody’s creative team headed by writer and comedian Paul Soter, a founding member of the Broken Lizard comedy team, famous for creating the Super Troopers movie franchise.
Americans for Prosparody uses humor, parody and satire to break through to reach disengaged and reflexively partisan voters. Previous campaigns helped inform voters about outrageously extreme candidates running for statewide election in North Carolina — and helped defeat those candidates.
