For many years I read “The Onion,” greatly enjoying their humor and satire, first in print and then online. However, during one of the controversies over cartoons of Mohammed (back in 2012), they published a satirical piece that included an obscene image, deliberately blasphemous for Christians and members of other non-Muslim religions, that was too much. I don’t dispute their right under our laws to do this. However, I no longer look at any of their articles, and I encourage anyone else to avoid them as well. I hesitated to make this comment–not wanting to provoke any curiosity that might increase their web traffic–but finding a link to the Onion here came as something of a surprise.
