Inspired by The Onion, created in Chicago in 1988, this Venezuelan portal has offered political humor and current satirical articles since 2008.
With its slogan "Partial and untruthful news at the hands of a rodent with psychological problems", the website created by Oswaldo Graziani, Alvaro Mora and Juan Andrés Ravell, gained much popularity in 2009 with the book 'La República' Bipolar Vol. I: The Powers of the State''.
However, success in Venezuela and beyond its borders was crowned with the animated political series available on YouTube "Isla Presidencial". In the style of "Lost", this product made between Venezuela and Argentina recreated in several chapters several Latin American presidents considered the best friends of the protagonist, former president Hugo Chávez.
They have more than one and a half million followers on Twitter.
