This isn't from the Onion, this is a serious news story from the Washington Times, but I posted it in the Humor section anyway because I can't bring myself to call this real news. I've read stories on satirical sites that weren't this absurd.
The American Civil Liberties Union (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/american-civil-liberties-union/) backpedaled Wednesday on tweeting a photo of a white baby holding a U.S. flag after users called it racist.
The seemingly harmless photo showed a blond-haired toddler in a “Free Speech - ACLU (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/american-civil-liberties-union/)” onesie holding a U.S. flag and what appears to be a colorful toy dog. The tweet read, “This is the future that ACLU (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/american-civil-liberties-union/) members want.”
