WASHINGTON—Following the publication of the image above, in which the most cherished figures from multiple religious faiths were depicted engaging in a lascivious sex act of considerable depravity, no one was murdered, beaten, or had their lives threatened, sources reported Thursday. The image of the Hebrew prophet Moses high-fiving Jesus Christ as both are having their erect penises vigorously masturbated by Ganesha, all while the Hindu deity anally penetrates Buddha with his fist, reportedly went online at 6:45 p.m. EDT, after which not a single bomb threat was made against the organization responsible, nor did the person who created the cartoon go home fearing for his life in any way. Though some members of the Jewish, Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist faiths were reportedly offended by the image, sources confirmed that upon seeing it, they simply shook their heads, rolled their eyes, and continued on with their day.

1. I thought I would be offended by it.

But I actually think it's pretty funny. The cartooning is technically well done.

Maybe Charlie Hebdo just needs better artists.

3. The Onion is pretty damn funny.

Sometimes they might be a bit over the top but they almost always make me laugh.

6. Funny, but still not courageous

in that it left out Muhammad having sex with an underage bride. Then,again, after reading the article the jest of it was that those various religions depicted have a thicker skin.

8. Not that I would ever expect The Onion to be courageous

But I took the lack of Muhammad in the pic to be the point. As in saying..."look we can drawing offensive cartoons of all these other religious figure without danger, but not the Prophet". Like the cartoonist was trying say that's exactly why he could drive home that night without fear.

But again....it's The Onion....I'm probably reading waaaaaaaaay too much into it.
