FFS. You need help if you find this hilarious it puts you as low as the scum that did it. Shocking absoloutly shocking.

Shocking. Absolutely shocking and abysmal and ghastly and horrid and jolly well not nice at all that you found a SHOCKING AND ABYSMAL AND GHASTLTLY AND HORRID event funny.

Of course, if they're honest, everyone probably laughed, said '**** me dead' or something to that effect, pulled this face: :eek:

and put their hands over their mouths, before going on to say something quite similar to 'wtf what a wrong'un'...

Not funny. At all. Some people, geez

If I'm honest: I can't really think of anything less funny. Watching the weather foreceast would probably top this in terms of comedy.

I find Francis Wilson on Sky News to be pretty funny when he's doing the weather.

You lot are purposely missing the point.

It is funny because it is shocking - the sheer surprise at what you're reading can quite easily make you emit an embarrassed, shocked laugh. Then the fact that you laughed at something so horrific makes you laugh more.

If you don't understand that, then something's the matter with you.

It didn't make me want to laugh at all, I just felt sorry for the woman and hoped that the scrotes who did it would spend a long, long time behind bars for it. :confused:

Some things just don't make me laugh, because they're not funny.

Francis Wilson does the weather on SKY?! I used to LOVE him when I was younger!!!

I really do appreciate that you're trying to see why I find it funny. thanks for that, but I can't explain it so that I still find it funny. I guess if you abstract the situation, and think of it as a really depraved episode of the League of Gentlemen.

Can we agree to disagree on that particular revelation?

You're not even ****ing listening. You're barely even pretending.

I'm listening, I just fail to see why anyone would laugh at it at all.

Maybe you should go outside for some air if you're getting stressed out enough to swear at me.

I wouldn't worry, I swear at almost everything.

I'm common and stuff.

I can see how it's funny in a abstract, sketch type of way. But how you get to that image when your reading a news article you know is true and what happened I can't fathom. Especially with nothing to create that line of thought. Each to there own though.

Thats ok, if you post some pics up, you have great taste in girls.

That's pretty much what I've been saying too, that I don't understand how anyone found it funny knowing it really happened to someone and whatnot. As someone said earlier, I think it's a serious lack of empathy.

Yea just hilarious :rolleyes:

sid · 19 Sep 2007 at 20:49

I'm with Sic on this, Its sick but I still couldn't help smirking at it. It is sort of funny in a sick way. but i still couldn't help laughing. just the way it is i'm afraid.
