I guess I must be thinking of somebody else. I have this vague recollection of a couple of instances of extremely cringey rape/Hitler/dead baby types of jokes totally out of nowhere. ---

As much as I’d love to pile on I read it as simple sarcasm. Not worth pitting over, in my opinion. ---

A quick survey of the eight or so times he’s been Pitted looked like they were mostly for being monumentally inane, so this comment would seem to be an outlier (among reasons to pit BrainGlutton, that is, not among his normal posting practice). ---

I thought she made her coats out of “the little people”? People that paid taxes. Not midgets. Though maybe she did have a special coat made out of midgets that paid taxes. ---

Mr. BG, I know sarcasm. Sarcasm is a friend of mine. And that sir, was not sarcasm. And if it was not meant to be sarcasm, you can perform a self-emasulation with a chainsaw for all that I’m concerned. ---

The line quoted in the op was shocking, violent, and sick. I’m assuming that it was an attempt at humor. Which puts me in the unenviable position of the defense of it, for if it is not defended, I fear the suppression of dead baby humor next. And as anyone knows, dead babies can’t take things off the shelf. ---

Even if it was sarcasm, this is the WRONG place for that kind of humor. That’s akin to going to a Lilith Fair festival wearing a shirt that says “Where’s my Dinner Bitch?” ---

Does that sound like a useful kitchen product to anyone else? Like “I used to own a DinnerBitch® but I lost it in a fire. Mixed, mashed and kept everything nice and hot. I really miss that DinnerBitch[SIZE=4]®…” [/SIZE] ---

Most other long-term Doper, I know more or less what they’re about, but there’s something about **BrainGlutton’s** thought process that makes it almost completely opaque to me. Very little, if any, interaction with real, live women. ---

> [@Jimmy\_Chitwood](#): > > Isn’t this a thing he does, from time to time? Say things that are the worst things? Only for the past year or so. I support this pitting. Consider it an intervention. BG: I assume the posts you occasionally make that are grossly offensive are suppose to be humorous. They fail. FYI. Gross out humor _can_ work, but I haven’t seen you pull it off. Humor is hard. ---

Raped to death on live national television: never, under any circumstances, humorous. And, no, this isn’t a challenge. ---
