The Onion's Twitter account was hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army, and their response was as funny as it was dark.

Syria seems to have shut down its entire Internet. This is really, really not good.

If you don't follow the news, you probably vaguely remember something about Syria and the Internet, like, a year ago.

Yesterday we told you about Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad getting his email hacked, revealing his love for Chris Brown, LMFAO and Right Said Fred, among others -- artists whose music he purchased using iTunes.

Bashar Al-Assad is, and we hope we're not being too subtle in our feelings here, a complete and total monster currently committing war crimes because the citizens of the country he rules with an iron fist would like somebody who isn't a douchebag, please.
