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
