>> ^guessandcheck: I usually like The Onion but this shit really isn't funny. It's in pretty bad taste to mock the suffering and death of anyone, even fake people. The events depicted echo a much more troubling reality, and while the parody may be mainly on the style of journalism I still find it really bad form. And then to imply that either Barack or McCain condone and are vying for the vote of this new mass murderer is pretty morose. This piece sounds as if it would've been written by a disgruntled high school freshman. As it all comes down to personal taste I'll simply no-vote, but come on, they can do a lot better than that.
I disagree almost entirely, I think that this was a brilliant piece of comedy, not laugh out loud funny, but blacker than the heart of darkness, and really hit home the effects that power and the lust for it has on people.
Additionally, I don't think this is mocking the death and suffering of anyone, the reason why it delves so deep into the human suffering pot, is not to mock those that suffer, but to mock those that are so desperate for power, who are willing to manipulate any tragedy however grave, and those who publicise such ideas, who usually have there fingers in the same pot as the fore mentioned group.
This is certainly a change of pace from the onion, not to a "lets make jokes about the suffering of others", but more to a "Lets take a step back, and examine the world, realise how insane some of it has become"

Testosterone poisoning in action. A veterinarian would suggest cutting off their bothersome testicles.
In fairness, its more the security of the mob and the mob mentality that makes these sorts of events possible.

Titillation such as this, just don't do it for me these days even in jest, I have an adverse reaction to such videos, I am obviously catching the gay.

Joy Division "Love Will Tear Us Apart" (new BBC video)
Oh gosh I love this song. Although.. this isn't my favourite take on it. It sounds like they're bored and in a rush to finish the song.
The video is nice though!
Favourite take? This is the original, I don't think you can refer to it as a "take on"
