The Onion Should Get a Life...

[PlayfulAlex]

What is wrong with these people? Twice in one week, we've mentioned garbage being spewed by The Onion. Someone needs to get a life, and grow the fuck up already...the little girl is 9 years old, ffs!

I think its stupid and in poor taste. However, we are talking about the Oscar's here, a place filled with scandalous associations and such.
If she (Miss Wallis) took offence to it then different story. I would get upset about a child not having food to eat way before this.

I imagine Miss Wallis would have taken offence; any articulate, intelligent young lady has heard this word before. And no, it's not real news, just idiocy and, yes, the Oscars.

When you put something out there in the media, good or bad, it’s out there and can’t be taken back, no matter how sorry you are. Just ask Don Imus. His infamous "nappy-headed hoes" quip was heard and never unheard, because the damage was done, like throwing acid in the face of a girl in Afghanistan who is trying to get an education, or a slave owner raping one of his slaves. It’s just that sexist and racist, and I’m not sparing the feelings of anyone at The Onion, since they didn’t spare Quvenzhane. - See more at: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/op...ons-tweet-193376811.html#sthash.jmmn8KXW.dpuf

^from the website you quoted...this is WAY worse than what the onion said...comparing word vomit to horrific violent crimes, WTF??? I get that its supposed to be an analogy, but seriously that was really really bad.

It was a bad joke -- she is so obviously cute and sweet -- the opposite of the statement -- that it was clearly meant as dark humour.

It was also taken down within hours, but has been quoted endlessly in the media and on the internet. Just a thought -- don't the outraged constant repostings bear as much responsibility for its dissemination?

The best thing would be if everyone went to see Beasts of the Southern Wild -- a wonderful movie that probably should have won best picture.

Very poor attempt at some sort of weird humour.

I did get a laugh during the ceremonies when Seth MacFarlane said in 16 years she will be too old to go out with George Clooney.
