• Satire Site The Onion Issues Apology for Offensive Tweet Calling 9-Year-Old Best Actress Nominee a ‘C**t’

  February 25, 2013 at 12:59pm

  Please note that the “apology” was a much more vicious slam of the actress than the original tweet was. The Onion wins again.

  In case you missed it: “On behalf of The Onion, I offer my personal apology to Quvenzhané Wallis and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the tweet that was circulated last night during the Oscars,” he wrote. “It was crude and offensive — not to mention inconsistent with The Onion’s commitment to parody and satire, however biting.”

  Notice that he pointed out that it was inconsistent with their commitment to parody and satire, indicating that the comment was not satirical. Which means, of course, that he is saying that she really is what the tweet said she was.

• Report: Tragic Story of Notre Dame Football Star’s Dead Girlfriend Was a Hoax

  Snicker. I guess this goes to prove that “sports journalism” is just as much of a farce as mainstream journalism has become. This story was publicized by “sports journalists” from top to bottom, coast to coast FOR MONTHS, and not one actual journalist bothered to investigate the facts, they just all passed the rumor around and around.

  Journalism, you’re a pathetic joke.

  Attention CAIR: I have two words for you, and I bet you can guess which ones they are.

  You absolutely MUST be a shill. I don’t know a single Conservative American who talks or thinks like you do. You act exactly like the racist stereotype that the leftists like to portray us as. Why are you here? Don’t you have anything better to do with your hate than to post it on the internet for the world to see? Like maybe choke on it. You’re about as much of a True.American as George Soros is, and I wish you would get banned ASAP.

  Something doesn’t smell right about this story. It just doesn’t ring true.

  The more I hear from Louie Gohmert, the more I like him. If he doesn’t stop speaking truth to power, he’s gonna have to deal with people like me demanding he run for president.

  Congressman Gohmert, thank you for speaking the minds of your fellow Americans so courageously.

  Why the hell are you even here? All you do is bitch and whine about this site, so why do you waste your time and ours by posting this same obnoxious crybaby crap over and over? Get a life.

  If my comment reads to you like I was slighting nurses, doctors, or white-collar careers, then your reply reads like that of someone who was looking for an excuse to be offended.

  Do you identify with people who work hard for a living? Then my comment wasn’t directed at you.

  Do you identify with people who sleep their days away between bong sessions, occasionally drawing pictures or jamming with your pals and banging drunk girls after gigs? I didn’t think so.

  Try not to be so thin-skinned. My post OBVIOUSLY had nothing to do with you. What nurses do is work, whether they love it or not. However, by my Dad’s logic (which was nearly infallible), you are very blessed to have found a career doing something you love, as am I.

  Instead of getting ****-hurt over a comment which clearly had nothing to do with you, perhaps you should appreciate the fact that many people never find such a fulfilling career. Our assembly lines, retail stores, and service industries are FILLED with them. And, by comparison, what you and I do really does barely qualify as work, even if we fill our lives with 50 and 60 hour work weeks and stress ourselves out over trying to deliver to the best of our ability.

  I believe the word you are searching for is insidious. And, yes, it is.

  My Dad always said that if you can get paid for doing what you love to do, you’ll never work a day in your life. The vast majority of successful actors fall into this category. Certainly, artists do too. Writers? Mostly. Musicians? Also, mostly. Of course, there are certain aspects to being a musician or a writer which could be considered “work.” But actors and artists, less so.

  I’m not devaluing what actors and artists provide through their talents and skills, but calling it “work” seems a little disingenuous.

  Work is something that makes you sweat, and you do it because you have to, not because it’s fun. It is almost always very fulfilling and, therefore, worth your time; but few actors “work” at acting. They may study and prepare for a role. They may follow direction even when they don’t want to. But, compared to the blue collar guy who comes home dirty and sweaty after putting in 10 hours a day busting his back to make a dollar, the dandy who’s treading the boards for applause and money-showers can’t possibly appreciate the meaning of the word “work.” Same for the painter who “works” at getting his art shown/sold. Yeah, it can be difficult to turn your talent into income, but “work” really doesn’t apply.
