7. C STANDS FOR COLOSAL MISTAKE

During the later half of the Oscars Broadcast satirical newspaper The Onion posted a hostile and derogatory tweet on their Twitter stream, calling 9 year old Quvenzhane Wallis the C word. (Thank you @HFofNicholes for the lead on this story.)

Everyone else seems afraid to say it, but that Quvenzhané Wallis is kind of a cunt, right? #Oscars2013

I was even quoted in the Hollywood Reporter news article on the subject:

The tweet, sent out around 8:42 p.m. PST, quickly made the rounds on the social media website. An hour later, the offending message was deleted from The Onion’s feed. CEO Steve Hannah issued an apology Monday morning.
