Read This: Our sister publication The Onion profoundly, profanely covers the latest unspeakable tragedy

We can always count on our brilliant sister publication The Onion to put unfathomable tragedies into perspective, or rather to acknowledge, with pitch-black wit and surprising sensitivity, that some tragedies are so overwhelmingly awful and beyond comprehension that it’s impossible to put them into perspective or process them adequately. The 9/11 issue of The Onion brought a lot of healing, cathartic laughter from a world reeling from the devastation and now The Onion has once again captured what seemingly everyone is feeling and alchemized it into genius satire with its piece on the Connecticut school shooting entitled “Fuck Everything, Nation Reports.” It is, in a word, brilliant, and required reading for a public still in a profound state of shock.
