twitter is outraged and a lot of idiots are trying to make this a racial issue, which is fricking retarded.

If someone gets fired then I'll stop reading the Onion. It's supposed to push the limits. Get over yourselves, America.

This is like getting outraged if The Chive posted nudes. Is it really that much of a stretch?

its the fricking Onion. I'm surprised anyone is taking them seriously. Remember when Bill Maher called W's mom a Cunt? It's not a point but really.

I don't know how calling a little kid a c*** can be justified. If someone actually said that aloud they would get even more backlash, but since it was "just" a tweet and it was from the Onion everything's okay and it was just humor.

Big fricking deal. Pretty pitiful that people get more excited about irrelevant horse shite on twitter and facespace than the actual world. Humanity is so fricked.

I'm on the fence. I don't know what to think. But if it's just black humor and they really don't care what others think, why'd they delete the tweet?

no one should be fired, but calling a kid a cunt is pretty messed up.

Good for them. People that get offended over this stuff are fun to offend. They're worth offending because they're being pussies. Too bad they deleted it. Keep it up, Onion.

Nothing is wrong with pushing the boundaries, but whats the point in calling a lil girl a cunt. They did it for the shock value, but this one is going to backfire on them.

You're only proving my point as I find your comment childish and quite funny. Thank you.
