The Daily Show Terminates Abortion Tweet after Backlash

June 27, 2016 – After SCOTUS struck down a case which restricted Texas abortions, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah took to Twitter to express enthusiasm for the ruling:

Celebrate the #SCOTUS ruling! Go knock someone up in Texas!

— The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) June 27, 2016

 Unfortunately for Noah and company, the response they got was anything but enthusiastic, with criticisms ranging from “offensive” to “vile,” and perhaps most derogatory, likening the tweet to the taste of O’Douls. 

Not to pile on the Daily Show, but this just makes me remember how much I miss that show. What’s happening now isn’t worthy of the name. — (((Steph Haberman))) (@StephLauren) June 27, 2016

.@TheDailyShow This tweet is so vile.

— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) June 27, 2016

@TheDailyShow From someone who was a guest on your show (and treated fairly): This was in exceptionally poor taste.

— Nick Vlahos (@VlahosNick) June 27, 2016

@TheDailyShow I’m all for offending someone for the sake of real humor. This? It’s like the O’Douls of bad taste.  

 

— David Simon (@AoDespair) June 27, 2016

Perhaps realizing they had misstepped or just not wanting to fight for the joke, The Daily Show backpedaled and tweeted:

Friends, we’re certainly not promoting abortions. Just excited about #SCOTUS reaffirming right to choose.

— The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) June 27, 2016

What is FOO?

Is It Funny Or Offensive? examines why some things are considered “funny” while others are “offensive” – and why that line is different for different people. Our debate touches on comedy, satire, freedom of speech, political correctness, censorship, and all the gray areas in between.

Laugh. Cringe. Think. And decide… where do you draw the line?
