What Me Found In A Storage Bin?
Apparently, Galveston Bay authorities have arrested a couple for the murder of "Baby Grace" --- the toddler whose body washed ashore in a storage bin last month. Based on the child's composite sketch, I'm guessing the break in the case came when police began investigating individuals with motives for killing Alfred E. Neuman.
And this just in: The composite artist has also released his sketch of the couple arrested by the Galveston Bay authorities.
Images broken as of 11/2/09 <_<
ReplyI don't get it, because I don't know who Albert Newman is. But that's an awful sketch. Seriously. So mock it. If it's off-limits to comedy, that means it's special to you. Do you want to tell the world "I consider the horrific murder of babies too beautiful a thing to sully with humor."? That's the only reason to condemn this. Gladstone, you're just awesome. I hope you get back to HBN soon.
Replyi didn't find it anywhere near as tasteless as Nancy Grace, who has made a career out of sensationalizing and trivializing the misfortune of others. and she's not even funny.
Replywell, not intentionally, anyway.
and i know it's late and all but as a response to "A Parent," i promise that after i'm too drunk to pull out, i'll still think jokes about dead kids are funny.
And with God as my witness, I will lay them.
ReplyGladstone, don't you dare bow down to these highfalutin assholes. For Christ's sake man, you make a living (I understand quite a healthy living) by offending people. Truly, the creative mind knows no bounds, so quit pandering to the swine that would have you out of circulation and write your dirty jokes. I love 'em, most people love 'em, and the people that don't need to get laid.
ReplyCorrection: This is great sarcasm, complete with angry viewers with names like "A Parent" and seemingly (for some) literate criticism.
ReplyThis is sarcasm.
Reply[...] usually try not to delve into macabre subjects on this here blog; others have shown us all what can happen when you admit to finding child mutilation hilarious. Aside from Dan O’Brien [...]
ReplyI realise I'm massively late here, but I thought it was hilarious. Nothing's off-limits for humour as long as it's funny.
ReplyI’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting! Look for some my links:
ReplyAt first, I admit I chuckled for a good while. After which, I took a second glance at the topic, and became suddenly and acutely ashamed of myself.
ReplyThen I started laughing again anyway.
sticks and stones. as long as someone doesn't take something of monetary value from me or punch me in the face, who cares what that person says (or draws or writes)? I found the post funny. I'm half Italian, half Filipino, Catholic, and cancer and diabetes run in my family. oh, and I have big nipples. do your worst. who CARES???
Replyand about the "...have the collective IQ of a rally of republicans who make less than $25,000 a year..." comment: come on. I'd rather associate with dumb and poor republicans than the dumb, violent, and poor democrats.
1st amendment: no subject is off-limits to humor.
ReplyI still love you, Gladstone. I didn't find it remarkably funny, but I support the joke!
ReplyWhile I am not personally offended by this article, come on, man. If I were someone who cared about and was thus devestated by her death, this article would only add to my pain. I'm just saying, come on......I see what you were going for, yes the side-by-side is funny, but really? Just b/c you can doesn't mean you should, you know? Maybe you should have just chuckled about the sketch privately and not posted it. I'm just saying, it's quite off-color.
Replythis is funny to me because this little girl is not in my monkeysphere.
ReplyAfter 3 months, sweet vindication from Sean, at last.
ReplyYes, just about the sketch.
"you need to seriously reconsider what you find funny."
ReplyI thought that phrase was funny. How does a reader change what he finds funny? You can suppress laughter, or you can laugh and then immediately say you didn't laugh, but you can't just decide not to find something funny anymore.
That being said, I thought this article was hilarious. I don't see what the big deal is. It really was just a funny shot at a terrible sketch artist.
Just saw this comment now. Thank you.
ReplyA follow up joke for everyone without a sense of humor....
ReplyWhat is small, white and floats in a pool? A dead baby!
If this site had said something like: What's small, white, and is found in a dumpster, then I might understand the outrage. This post had nothing to do with the patricular circumstances of this particular dead baby (there are plenty of dead babies in the world I don't hear you crying about), only the vague resemblence to the MAD guy. Man up and grow a pair.
