It's an online publication. The way you show outrage is by tweeting/emailing, etc. It isn't ABC or NBC.

If no one tweeted them about it they'd think the joke was alright.

Tweeting/emailing and giving them publicity in the process. I mean, should someone be fired? Sure, why not. But the problem is... most of the folks who are mad don't even read the Onion like that.

I'm just tired of seeing these "activists" get angry every time something like this happens but have no desire to do shyt about real life kids going through shyt.

what's the point of them saying this?

I'm no Onion fan, but the stuff I've heard them make fun of generally, is usually relative to whatever the joke is.

Where's the connection in calling 9 year old a "c*nt"?

I agree ...

though I don't think it excuses this. You respond to what you see. And kids should definitely be off limits, "real life" or famous.

She's done nothing but be a cute little 9 year old. Calling a cute 9 year old a c*nt is the joke.

If anything, the joke is that she ISN'T a c*nt....and they called her one.

Breh get ya bigger picture ass the fukk outta here. This has nothing to do with starving children in Africa or Thailand, because not everything in the world or everything that people get upset about has to revolve around the fukking less fortunate.

i was offended at first, but then the context was revealed to me and i actually think it was a great joke.

at first i thought they were taking a shot at her, and who could be cool with that? no one.

but apparently they were satirising how twitter is basically this cynical place where everyone just snark tweets everything, even the most innocent ish. what could be more innocent than that kid? risque no doubt, but i kinda get it.

No such thing as bad publicity...Thread title should be "the onion wins" when you spread the tweet and get the onion more attention.

They have said worse over the years.

It's not funny but the joke wasn't race related. I remember them going at Dakota Fanning and Haley Joel Oslett (sp?) and other child actors in the past.

It's just not funny but nothing to get upset over, and the joke was to point out how sweet and cute she is.

People who took this racially or are trying to make an outrage over this are the c*nts, IMO.
