Has The Onion finally gone too far? The satirical website is under major fire today after Tweeting a message during last night’s Academy Awards about nine-year old nominee Quvenzhané Wallis. It has since been deleted, but not before millions read the following Twitter post: “Everyone else seems afraid to say it, but that Quvenzhané Wallis is kind of a cunt, right?” Among those calling for an apology (at the very least) is Wendell Pierce, best known for his role on The Wire : “Identify the writer,” the actor Tweeted. “Let him defend that abhorrent verbal attack of a child. You call it humor, I call it horrendous.” Where do you stand, THGers? Was deletion enough? Or should The Onion apologize for this word use? Yes, how horrific! Nah, it was just a joke View Poll »
