> Come the fuck on, you guys have to be kidding me. The cop quoted in a story about a person being bitten to death is called _Munch_. That’s funny. When y’all are done with your wake for the little PWT girl you never knew and never would have heard of had it not been for this story, you can get a fucking sense of humor and laugh at this in the abstract.

So…it’s funny because the family was poor?😕  
Sorry, but I don’t think you will find too many people who find this funny.

(bolding mine)

You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

Yeah, got to say I don’t see the humor. I thought you were making a South Park Kenny reference, but what’s funny (or at least, oft repeated schtick) in a cartoon isn’t so funny in real life.

What I think about the parents belongs in the Pit though.

Another win for Dr. Ferber, evil mastermind.

Sorry, not funny. It’s not that it’s too sick to be funny. It just isn’t sufficiently ironic. “Munch” being the detective’s name just isn’t funny.

Now, a funny death story was a few years back when I read that eight skydivers were killed when their plane crashed. That’s funny.
