My money is on this puke-faced twit as the culprit, although he denies it. But really, folks, calling a little girl a c-nt isn’t funny.
The Onion is under fire.
While the top awards were being handed out Sunday at the 85th Oscars, the satirical news organization sent out a message on its official Twitter account calling 9-year-old best actress nominee Quvenzhane Wallis the C-word.
Everyone else seems afraid to say it, but that Quvenzhané Wallis is kind of a cunt, right? #Oscars2013

The tweet, sent out around 8:42 p.m. PST, quickly made the rounds on the social media website. An hour later, the offending message was deleted from The Onion’s feed.
There was outcry, with many deeming it inappropriate and a cheap dig. Treme and The Wire actor Wendell Pierce called out The Onion, tweeting: “Identify the writer. Let him defend that abhorrent verbal attack of a child. You call it humor I call it horrendous.”
They’ll probably try to get back in the good graces of the Hollywood types by attacking Trig Palin again.
Trig Palin, the Bush daughters, and the kids attacked in school for having fathers in the military were unavailable for comment.
That was fine comedy right there, Onion. Anyone complaining about that joke is either 1) be trollin 2) an idiot. The Onion should double-down and poll their readers on whether a 9-year-old tastes best fried or barbecued.
