Uh oh, the Onion "Sparks Anger With Picture Of Plane Flying Into Willis Tower".

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/08/06/willis-tower-photo-the-onion-sparks-anger-with-picture-of-plane-flying-into-building/

My favorite part of the article is the last line:

quote:

The Onion marketing director Grant Jones told the Associated Press that the video snippet was “a very important story. We’re surprised other major news sources are not giving it the coverage it deserves.

Its just a snippet in this segment, but I can't find the whole piece, if there is one.

Look at these idiots who don't respect that The Onion was a critical part of the healing process for thousands with their ingenious 9/11 coverage that is still remembered today as one of the finest moments in comedy history.
