Mass Grave Blasted For Lack Of Diversity
SARAJEVO, BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA—Members of the International Coalition for Equality criticized a newly unearthed mass grave Monday, saying it lacked religious and racial diversity. "The funereal pit is brimming with Croats, nearly 300 of them, without a single representative Serb," ICE spokesman Jacques Marchand said. "Exclusionary burial practices like this send a negative message to the world. Corpses of all races and creeds should be tossed together to decay in harmony." Marchand acknowledged that the grave did, at least, have a sprinkling of women and children.

I love the onion, but I have to say that I don't know what to say about this.
I know that they are making a statement, but really it is very poor taste even for the onion.

Agreed---this whole idea of attmepting to de-sensitize people through humor/obfuscation will have lasting (negative) effects.
What's is gonna take?

I like the Onion's lighter humor better...
for example, the headline:
