That was actually pretty funny! Though the one with Rachel Corrie was in incredibly poor taste:


Name: The Fourth Reich
Description: [snip]
How to Incapacitate: Bulldozer

Not so funny, that one.
But otherwise, tip o' the hat to a Zimph post that I actually clicked through to read, and was enjoyable!

Yeah I was hesitant posting this because of that one. While I believe she should have KNOWN better, the bulldozer comment was bad taste.

Uh, she wasn't innocent. She died because she laid down in front of a moving bulldozer.

She should have gotten a Darwin award.

A Darwin award? Why? Because she knew that those Bulldozers don't have brakes?
Don't make it worse Zimphire!

No A darwin award for even LAYING DOWN IN FRONT OF A MOVING BULLDOZER!

If you cannot see how that is a lack of common sense, I would say you were severely lacking any.

The Darwin awards are given to people that do something stupid, something they should know better than doing, and are dead because of it.

She falls under said guidelines.

While it was a horrible horrible accident. She was NOT innocent.

Wow, there's a sadistic remark.

Are you one of those people who were glad to see MLK had died, claiming he choose to die by being at that hotel?
I always use protection when fscking my Mac... Do you?

Don't worry. I wont. Bizarro comparisons galore.

The gal was a hateful angry young lady. She did something extremely stupid using her own free will. While I think the whole situation was horrible. She is no "hero" or someone to look up to. She was just another punk that made a bad choice. A choice she made on her own. No one "did this to her" she did it to herself.

“Oh gee look at that, she’s burning the flag of HER OWN COUNTRY that she’ll be quite happy to get on that nice comfy jet plane and go back to as soon as she’s done 'slumming it' over here. Heh. Uh... yeah. Gee. Isn’t that… errr…cute.”

"Hey! Sheesh lady! It took me a long time to draw that flag with my crayons! And you just went and... burned it!?!"
