Yes, it's from the Onion:

"I'm excited to bring my Emmy Award–winning writing to the field of animation," Sorkin said in a speech before approximately 30,000 screaming fans, many of whom were dressed up in the business-suit costumes of their favorite Sorkin characters. "The costs of live-action production restricted me to a set only slightly larger than the actual White House and an ensemble cast of under 15 actors. But animation technology will enable us to provide fans with extended 40-minute walk-and-talks, digitally compressed dialogue for faster delivery, and a cast of over 70 main characters. My vision will finally be presented in its truest, most uncompromised form."

But here's the part that hurts: the cutline for the image of the cartoon.

A sneak peak at the cast for the new show.

Oh, Onion, you let me down.

OMG, can you imagine what Sorkin could do with a 70-person main cast? I'm envisioning a 15-person walk-n-talk that lasts half the episode. ::Swoon::

And, uh-oh, looks like the Onion needs some new copy editors ;)

Except in the animated series, it'd be the same background scrolling by every few seconds, just like the heyday of Hanna-Barbera....

No, no, no, they just mean that this is surprisingly the pinnacle of Sorkin's career, that's all! It's not a typo. Noooooot a stupid typo.

It's ok. The guys who fixed all the state park signs will take care of it.
