Sure but The Onion satire always comes with a political message lightly baked into the surface. It seems more likely to me that they're making comments about comedy in general and how comics who tell harsh or offensive jokes are just elementary school bullies playing it off as a joke. I've never heard a kid use the phrase "pushing boundaries with my comedy" whereas that's definitely something a standup comic would say.

That's why the article rubbed me the wrong way. I still enjoy Dave Chappelle, Anthony, and comics who dare say unpopular shit through the lens of comedy. The Onion seems to disagree.
