Grimly Dark Humor Places
It’s a sign that I am in a godawful weird place that this headline made me laugh hysterically.
I think I may need to call this an early night.
Southern California — this just in
Head found in park may be result of recent slaying, police say
As opposed to spontaneous head-body discontinuities?
As opposed to a cold case from 1983?Report
As opposed to one really bad-ass mountain lion with a twisted sense of humor?Report
Someone who shall remain nameless said, “I think he put his head in the bag and then cut it off himself, and coyotes made off with the body. It could happen!”Report
I’ll confess. I’m a fark addict. Grim and dark humor headlines are the only jokes worth laughing at.
Local TV Station to broadcast expose on sex, gore, and violence in comic books, and how it will harm your children. This is not a repeat from 1954. Fredric Wertham laughs while George Santayana weepsReport
Police later admitted that the head was not connected to the body in that case.Report
This is funny in the way only an obliviously non-ironic headline can be funny.
The other way to go is New York Post style: “Headless Body Found In Topless Bar”.Report
This is one of those times when the grimly horrible part is that there are actual people on the other side of that headline.
Even as you laugh at the absurdity of it, you can’t shake that fact.Report
I hate to see families torn apart.Report
Reminds me of a verse from Flight of the Conchord’s Think About It.Report
