So, this is a serious post?
so confused!

The people who are seriously saying no apology was needed really need to reevaluate their stance on feminisn/racism. because people who seriously think it is okay to call a young girl a cunt, that think the reaction is overblown, should be made to wear t-shirts saying "I am a sexist moron, Have a nice day" so that everybody knows they're idiots and can avoid them. But i think the fedoras some of you inevitably own do that well enough already.

I hate that people are trying to defend this. It obviously crossed a line.

Above and beyond how stupid and insensitive the tweet was, it just wasn't funny or even satirical.

You're all cunts.

I notice that the only people that found this funny were white and I wonder if it was a white child how you would feel, she is 9 years old and there is nothing funny about it. Where's the humor, there is no humor in it and where did it come from. If you defend this type of comedy that says allot about you. I don't care how insignificant you think it is, any child being degraded in this way of any color is wrong. If there was any question about who or if your racist or not, this is just the kind of forum that brings it out. May God have mercy on the ignorance !!!

Just take a good look at the defenders of the Onion, really just Trash, and every daughter they have need to be referred to as a Cunt and lets see how they like it, lets see you laugh when your daughter, niece, sister anyone you have under 10 years old is tagged with Cunt post how its not a big deal, and anyone in your family or friendships are totally stupid for being upset about it. Post and defend the name caller then.

Omg !!! People don't like me on Facebook, how will I ever survive...P.V.S.

And who the fuck lets there kid go on the onion or twitter at 9yrs old,great parenting skills...let me guess you thinks its ok for them to watch porn too...?!!

Wow! A lot of self-righteous cunts got their panties in a bind. Some of us did get the joke and found it funny. The only thing that wasn't funny was The Onion apologizing for what they do best.

Only 6 god-damned posts of protest against the Onion from only 5 god-damned people in a 24-hour period? Hahahaha This issue is d.e.a.d. You know who the outraged cunts should be mad at? All of their friends and family who they shared the story with but IGNORED IT. They want us to "get it" that the tweet was not only sexist, but racist as well. Perhaps they need to "get it" that NOBODY CARES about the tweet or their outrage, not even their fellow cunts.

*yawn*

I'm looking at who is defending this insensitive act. For someone to say "What's the big deal" leads me to believe that you are as insensitive as the publisher of this offensive statement. If she were not a little girl of color, would your respnse have been the same. I dare say it would. Another day in the world of color; LWB

lets all b positive and get to work.too much playing around

^If the Onion had said anything as remotely racist as that, it would have ceased to exist by now. You, sir, are an idiot.^
There is a reason that 8 days after the tweet, only one negative poster has even bothered to pay us a visit, and that is because the vast majority of people who have visited the site have placed the tweet in context, and have concluded that with regard to the charge that it is a sexist and/or racist website. " there is no 'there' there." In fact, most people who have visited the site have decided to "like" it. The "Movement" to punish the Onion is d.e.a.d., annd part of the reason, a -big- parrt, I believe, is that the issue was transformed, -no, HIJACKED-, from being one about sexism into one being about racism. People saw the screams of "RACISM!!!." decided that there was none at all, and gave the Onion the benefit of their doubt.
So, those who argue that the Onion issued a racist-themed tweet and are upset about the Onion emerging from the controversy stronger than before have nobody to blame but themselves.

People need to lay off. The apology is tasteful and the guilty parties are dealt with. They know one of their writers has messed up. It happens. People sometimes hire and regret the decision. It can happen to any company. I am a fan of The Onion even if they make mistakes. No thing will get you in more trouble than humor. Visit a new town or a new culture and try to make a joke. You will quickly find out what I mean. What they do is not only brave but difficult to pull off successfully. They are bound to end up with an employee eventually who doesn't quite get what they are doing. Get off the angry "band wagon" and form your own opinions and please by all means don't hesitate to use your heads prior to typing. The lack of this concept is getting old. In New York City, there was an old saying, "If you throw up a nickel where will it land?" The Answer is, "A guitar case." We'll online if you type a sentence without using your head where does it end up? It ends floating around cyberspace attached to your name for all the world to see for the rest of your life. You are a walking advertisement for yourself. Now think back at everything you have ever put online and think about what someone will find out about you when they google your name, like your children, bosses, teachers future bosses who hold the keys to the doors of your hopes and dreams. Have fun with that. :)

ITT: American Butthurt

Stop smoking the 'doobies' Dooby!

Salini Teri Apodaca: A "violent" word? Where was she struck? Any bleeding? Bone fractures? Torn flesh? The Onion did what they had to which was enough. And now I hear that this is "bullying"? Carrying this to a currently popular "NOH8" which will run its course and be forgotten once the celebs have gotten all the mileage out of it as they can it'll be dumped and forgotten.

George....Verbal abuse is almost always a precursor to physical abuse. Men who call their girlfriends and wives "cunts" and "whores" rarely stop there. The truly sad thing about your comment is that you, like most American men, have no freaking idea of how your mental attidtude translates itself in the real world. Your way of thinking is why teenaged boys think its OK to drug and rape a 16 year old, and why our country's media morons then spend countless hours talking about the "ruined lives" of the bastards that did the deed. Never mind the horror that the girl went through, or the fact that she will undoubtedly be scarred physically and emotionally for life.

PS...A man doesn't have to use his fists to be a violent, abusive piece of crap!

Never a good idea to call someone a cunt, I don't think. But when it's the Onion, you have to think a bit, because they do make a living saying the most outrageous things they can. I also believe their apology was well-intentioned, and I would tend to leave it at that. I see George's point, above, and I also see Salini's and then Kathleen calling out George. I do not take myself very seriously, however, you cannot defend sexism or racism in the United States--if a person perceives it, why not quickly apologize and move on? Our history alone shows that these "-isms" are institutionalized, all of us now living here must remain vigilant. And here's why: two quick reasons, I'm off my soapbox. It was only a few years ago, in my lifetime, you could just kill your wife; when questioned, "the bitch pissed me off" was a good reason, case dismissed. Sounds amusing; it's true. Every day in America, you know those guys who say "if you leave me, I'll kill you"? They do it. On the news every day, I don't have to quote a specific case, there is a new one on now, if you turn on the television. 2. I saw schoolchildren firehosed off the sidewalk by police, with police dogs, ON TELEVISION, fifty years ago, this year. I'm not over it, yet. If a person of color perceives racism, shut the f*ck up, George, and believe it. If a woman claims sexism, go, get off your f*cking *ss, and help find out the solution. You are not allowed to arbitrate the answer to whether something is sexism, George. My mother, my wife, my daughter, my sister, my niece, they will be treated with respect or goddamnit, I will die trying. The End. Carry on. Now, I do still think it's funny when those certain Brits use cunt as every form of speech: "What a day, mate! I cunted my cunting cunt off, all day!"

Seriously, Onion, calling a little girl a nasty word like that, you have definitely lost my respect, how would you feel if someone called your 9 year old daughter that word? That is just plain bullying.

The Onion apologized for one of their jokes? Wow, lame.

Disgusting!

Yep never reading another onion article ever again. Calling a little girl a cunt?

idiots

tee hee

Oh man, remember this? How embarrassing.
