‘The Onion’ blasts Quvenzhané Wallis

A satirical website widely known for its humorously embellished news stories is making headlines for an offensive tweet about a 9-year-old actress. During the 2013 Academy Awards many people noted that The Onion was live tweeting and cracking jokes about this year’s Seth MacFarlane hosted ceremony. Unfortunately for the site, however, a tweet about nominee Quvenzhané Wallis may have taken things too far.


“Everyone else seems afraid to say it, but that Quvenzhané Wallis is kind of a c—, right?” wrote one of their writers on Twitter. “#Oscars 2013,” they added.


Soon thereafter Twitter took off with reactions from people offended by the so-called “joke” that they demanded be taken down.

“Whoa, totally innapropiate even for The Onion,” wrote an Onion fan on Twitter.


“Whoa, I hope you get fired tomorrow!” added another.
