Having worked for a satire show for years, this hits damned close.
Satire is one of my personal holy pillars.

The german Titanic magazine reacted properly and put an elder cover on their website (don't click if drawn penises offend you).
Translation: comparative religion

Their editor in chief and MEP, Martin Sonneborn gave an appropriate statement on facebook.

"Das ist nicht komisch. Mit Anzeigen, Abokündigungen oder Kalaschnikow-Geballer auf Satire zu reagieren, gilt in der Szene als unfein. Unser Mitleid gilt den Franz. Kollegen. Bei Titanic könnte so etwas nicht passieren, wir haben nur 6 Redakteure."

"That's not funny. Reacting to satire with police reports, quitting subscribtions or shooting Kalashnikovs is seen as ungentlemanly in the scene. Our compassion is with the French colleagues. This could not happen at our magazine, as we have only 6 editors."
