1. This is just not funny, sorry. The ONION is really losing steam. Lame.

They're snarking about murder, race, gender and weight all in one pile. It's just....stupid.

In the Commonwealth of MA, where I live, there was recently a brutal murder of a teacher fresh out of college, well liked by her students, all save one who killed her most violently and defiled her corpse.

3. I think they are pointing out the major differences in how people are tried in this country on the

basis of race. Murders occur everyday. I don't think Onion had the murder you mentioned in mind, since this was done in 2011

4. It's just tasteless and lame, sorry.

If this was done two years ago, we can pinpoint when their sharp wit turned into rude mush, I'm thinking...

5. Lol! Oh np, everyone has different ideas in humor. I agree, in some parts it wasnt overly funny

but I thought the topic was biting

8. me too, it points to the vicious

cruel and mean double standard of amerikkkan justice because of racial and economic status. It's right on. I am not laughing at all these days. I wonder where this country is headed. It's sick and ugly out here.

6. Excellent. This is like a bomb going off in the American social conscience.

It is too true!

7. There are different types of humor.

Not all are actually funny. We need to look at the point behind this Onion piece, not whether you, or anyone else, conciser it funny or not. That is the point of satire, to to make some one or more people, or groups of people uncomfortable.

10. That is how you do satire folks

When some people "don't get it"....oh well.
