There’s your apology from The Onion, folks. (thanks kateoplis)
adiologist says: People who don’t understand that The Onion is satire are hilarious. Ok, and, I admit it, slightly saddening.
» SFB says: Did you know that you can understand something is satire and still call it out for being unbelievably awful? Say, when a nine-year-old is getting called a C-word? (As it turns out, The Onion ended up deleting that tweet after a public outcry.) It’s literally unbelievable that you think people complaining about this are stupid enough to not see it’s satire. — Ernie @ SFB

In case you missed it, an ad for e-cigarettes just ran on the Oscars. That’s a new one. Look at the fine print here — it contains nicotine. (ht @SpireAd)
EDIT: No matter your opinion on e-cigs, my point is that they shouldn’t be advertised on TV. They’re too similar to the real thing.

» SFB says: If what you were reading into regarding that post was “that’s an interesting and somewhat shocking factoid that I never knew about until now,” you are correct. Nobody should wish that sort of thing on anyone. — Ernie @ SFB

On the morning of September 11, 2001, MacFarlane was scheduled to return to Los Angeles on American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston. Suffering from a hangover from the previous night’s celebrations,[125] and with an incorrect departure time (8:15 a.m. instead of 7:45 a.m.) from his travel agent,[126] he arrived at Logan International Airport about ten minutes too late to board the flight as the gates had been closed.[126] Fifteen minutes after departure, American Airlines Flight 11 was hijacked,[127] and at 8:46 a.m. it was flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, obliterating the airplane, and killing everyone on board.[128]
In an interview with TVShowsOnDVD.com, MacFarlane said the following about his close call:
“The only reason it hasn’t really affected me as it maybe could have is I didn’t really know that I was in any danger until after it was over, so I never had that panic moment. After the fact, it was sobering, but people have a lot of close calls; you’re crossing the street and you almost get hit by a car… this one just happened to be related to something massive. I really can’t let it affect me because I’m a comedy writer. I have to put that in the back of my head.[129]”
Mark Wahlberg, his “Ted” co-star, also would have been on that very flight, which you might remember caused a controversy last year.
