Twitter Users Offended by The Onion's Update
Today, Farrah Fawcett died of cancer. Like a responsible news organization, The Onion quickly micro-blogged the news:
It set off a chain-reaction of “too soon” @replies from many of The Onion’s 1 million followers. Bornfamous said, “Is that supposed to be funny? Because it's not.” Lkdellatorre said, “Unfollowing @TheOnion for their deplorable jab at Farrah. Dudes, the day of her death? Seriously? I'm speechless, and that's saying a lot.” And bradcarlson said “Big fan of The Onion, but they just crossed the line.”
Seriously, guys. At least include the cause of death.
Chris Dahlen, a contributor for The Onion A.V. Club classed it up with a tweet of his own:
