I am outraged by The Good Lord, too, FWIW.

[Bolding, color mine] On the contrary, any crime she committed pales in comparison to your careless punctuation. She is a poor pilot; you, sir, are a monster.

IMHO there are some things that are appropriate to parody and some things that are so inherently disgusting that parody is inappropriate. A parody of these two instances is just cheap, stupid and insensitive.

When you do parody you should take on someone that can defend themselves. Dead children and innocent victims aren’t a funny or clever subject matter.

Again, just my opinion.

**Fenris** isn’t parodying the incidents themselves. He’s parodying the _“more-outraged-than-thou”_ mindset of those people who start genuine RO threads.

Maybe you should start a Pit thread about how tasteless this one is…

_sigh_

For those who haven’t studied the police blotters of small towns in the Great Northwest, the woman was one of the greatest truck hijackers of the late 1950s, and now everyone, and by everyone I mean the criminally illiterate, will only remember her for this…

[QUOTE=Fenris;11425334A]  
Parody threads are allowed and don’t have to be labeled, as long as they’re linked. This one is.  
[/QUOTE]

One would expect a parody thread to have some relevance to the OP parodied. This one doesn’t.
