This is outrageous, everyone knows the proper way for a man to show displeasure with his woman is by bitch slapping her.
Some days I wonder… the human race… doomed… etc.
Seven Steps to a Successful Recreational Outrage Thread:
1)Teenage boys fry kitten in microwave provided by Middle Eastern gentlemen who sexually abuse babies.
2)Doper links to said atrocity in a sparsely worded OP. Generally said OP consists of link and forty characters of (out)rage.
3)Other Dopers concur.
4)Somebody shows up to point out that “Christians/women/the Belgians/adults/people in the middle ages commit said atrocity too!”
5)Everyone shits on the mentioner from step 4).
6)Some smartass comes along to summarize this and each preceding RO thread.
7)Profit!
I could spend 15 minutes perusing news sites on the web, and easily post ten of these threads a day. Shit happens, there are evil assholes out there, yeehaw. Fucking shrug.
I don’t think step 3 happened here…maybe you need to get your eyes checked
Perhaps this is an unsuccessful RO thread!
Around my neck of the woods there are two newspapers, called appropriately “Crime” and “The Devil” (they don’t leave anything to chance!) that deal exclusively with rape, murder, baby microwaving and generally fucked up shit. The weirder the better. People who buy these are truly bottom feeders, whose idea of entertainment is reading about other people’s misery and tragedy. But at least they don’t bother anyone doing it. I wouldn’t be caught dead holding one of these rags. I have no idea what motivates people to buy them, I doubt it’s the cheery feeling they get. Maybe Cunctator could start an “Ask the ROer…” thread for my benefit.
I have a question for the ROer:
Why do you suck?
Can’t say I’m much of a fan of the “recreational outrage” myself, and will happily join a movement against it. At least the OP is tending towards the less annoying, zero-content, sort:
I’m just speechless. Link. Words fail me. There is no way to describe how speechless I am about this speechless-making thing.
As opposed to the self-righteously vengeance-crazed sort:
Oh my god! This guy kicked a puppy!! What sort of a sick twisted mind must you have, to kick a puppy!!! Somebody should kick HIS puppy!!! Through a cheese grater!!! Onto broken glass!!! Covered in lemon juice so it REALLY REALLY HURTS!!! He should be locked up for a MILLION BILLION JILLION years, and EVERY DAY he’ll have to watch someone kick his puppy through a cheese grater onto broken glass covered in lemon juice!!! That’ll show him what a SICK MIND he must have, to kick a puppy!!!
Like I say, I could happily do without either sort.
Even worse than those two is the ultimate RO, which continues…
Thank God I’m not as sick as he is. I mean, sure, I might have imperfections, but beside this guy, I’m a fucking angel. So don’t you dare call me out for anything ever again. 'Cause if you do, I’ll just link you here so you can see what really deserves calling out.
I expect so. A broken leg is a non-permanent disability, for example.
You’re not the boss of me.
/Nope.
Half the RO threads on here show up on Fark first anyhow… if you’re going to appropriate the stories, why not the idiosyncracies?
It’s not news; it’s Dope.
No need for a false dilemma.
One thing the article importantly fails to mention is: did she agree to have sex with him after he ripped out her eyes?
There’s no way I’m ripping out my wife’s eyes until I know the answer to this question.
You would have thought that she’d reconsider after the first eye. She must have really not been in the mood.
Headache? I’ll give you a fucking headache!
“Cripes, when are you going to learn not to stick your fingers in sockets…?”
Wait a minute! It says in wikipedia that this guy’s mother’s name is LaTylanol. Are you kidding me? Is this another wiki-whoosh? What’s his dad’s name, D’Bayer?
If you google “LaTylanol Houston”, you get one hit and that is the wiki article.
He’s first cousin to Robert Asprin
