So I'm not an American, but I'm still fairly tuned in to what goes on politically over there and I'm aware of the satire of The Onion, so I'm not taking this literally and getting needlessly offended.
However, this article on their website about John McCain is... well, shocking in my books. I'm a fan of satire but this just feels nasty to me.

Out of order surely???

“John McCain shot himself,†a visibly shaken Republican delegate told reporters as medical personnel rushed the stage. “He started rambling on about how somebody needed to send a message that this party had veered too far off course, and how if nobody else was going to do it, he would. Next thing I knew, I heard a gunshot.â€
“He’s dead,†the delegate added. “John McCain is dead.â€
Out of order surely???
