Twitter is the Devil: The Oscars Edition

What in the samhell has gotten in to people? Last night people were coming for 9 year old Quvenzhané Wallis. I will repeat a 9.year.old.


First she had to check a bish on the red carpet for TRYING IT after the reporter said:
 “I’m just going to call you Annie”

Mz. Wallis’s response:
“No my name is Quvenzhané”

Yes she did…


Then Chrissy Teigen tweets:

i am forced to like Quvenzhané Wallis because she is a child right? okay fine.
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) February 25, 2013

is it okay to call a small child cocky?

Then the Onion decided to tweet:

Needless to say the twitterverse went HAM on Chrissy and The Onion…..

My 2 favorite posts in response to the f**kery that is a grown @ss person coming for a 9 year old girl are as follows:

@GirlNeedsTherapy “So according to Christine Teigen, it's okay to call an accomplished nine year old child cocky..too bad she's only known for being a beard.”

@Rolandsmartin “Look, I get comedy. I get satire. But what @TheOnion said about a 9-year-old girl nominated for an Oscar is atrocious”

I am truly truly puzzled as to why people think its ok to talk about a 9 year old in any way that is not positive….

In the immortal words of S. Carter “When your talking to a Don.. please have respect like your talking to your Mom”

See the Onion's apology after the jump

Dear Readers,


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. It was crude and offensive—not to mention inconsistent with The Onion’s commitment to parody and satire, however biting.

No person should be subjected to such a senseless, humorless comment masquerading as satire.

The tweet was taken down within an hour of publication. We have instituted new and tighter Twitter procedures to ensure that this kind of mistake does not occur again.

In addition, we are taking immediate steps to discipline those individuals responsible.

Miss Wallis, you are young and talented and deserve better. All of us at The Onion are deeply sorry.

Sincerely,

Steve Hannah

CEO

The Onion
