The best outcome would have been if Quvenzhané Wallis' PR people had come out and said that Quvenzhané and her family totally got the joke and understood that she was not the butt of the joke, and that they're really glad that someone called out the gossip media on their bullshit. But that's probably not going to happen.

I'm don't want to act like we're super geniuses or anything but in order to get a lot of the jokes that the Onion makes you have to be extremely well informed. It's sort of like how certain foods in high cuisine are completely disgusting to a person used to McDonald's, the jokes and advertising we are getting are intended for people with a greater understanding of how media and advertising works.

Skeesix posted:Yeah I mean I sort of get what they were going for here but the joke is really not funny enough to cover for the offensiveness. This is also one where I'm not quite sure how they will walk it back. I mean it's not as though it was just a twitter thing. They rarely apologize, the only time I can think of in the recent past is when they called a 10 year old a oval office.
