Yeah I mean I sort of get what they were going for here but the joke is really not funny enough to cover for the offensiveness. This is also one where I'm not quite sure how they will walk it back. I mean it's not as though it was just a twitter thing.

They rarely apologize, the only time I can think of in the recent past is when they called a 10 year old a oval office.

At least this time it seems like the people who object do so while understanding what the Onion was going for, which is fair. That didn't seem to be the case the previous time when they published an apology.

They're not gonna walk it back. The Wallis thing was a tweet; it probably made it out because it was spontaneous and not a lot of people had seen it. In this case they must know exactly how close to the line they're treading.
