Diced Onion: Satire Publication Apologizes to Quvenzhane Wallis

Yeah, it was that bad.  Although historically it rarely deigns to do so, today The Onion apologized for its ugly tweet directed at nine-year-old Oscar nominee Quvenzhane Wallis.  The tweet, posted during last night's broadcast of the Academy Awards, met with immediate and intense condemnation.  Sanity finally prevailed when a full apology appeared on the Onion Facebook page.

As a dad to six- and two-year-old girls, I have no interest in breaking this down further.  Rather I will congratulate Quvenzhane on her nomination and hope she had fun at the Oscars.
