So, yesterday I was driving to Wal-Mart to pick up some food, on the way back I actually saw this Ford Taurus Wagon, and honest to god, this kid actually put spinners on this car! I mean this was an old Ford Taurus Wagon and the dude put spinners on it! Not only that, he actually had it jacked up with hydrolics shocks. God, that was just so damn funny that at the stop light, I actually laughed. I think he saw me and slid down in his seat. Oh, I needed that laugh, I did.

So what were some of the most pathetic and yet funniest thing you've ever seen?

"Kitty Gulag" made me laugh, even if the article wasn't particularly funny:

The visual idea of cats playing out Solzhenitsyn was just too much. :p

That's not funny...it's pretty disturbing...

I was linked to it by a page calling it Kitty Gulag, which is/was hilarious. Yeah, it's a shame they're destroying so many cats, but disease, etc. is a problem in that area apparently.

Oh so your reaction was something like this?

:D :) :confused: :(

More or less. :p The accompanying picture of a cat looking particularly oppressed kinda tipped the balance from confusion to humor.

Kitty GulagHmmm... I can't even make a joke about that as I have no links to a picture that might make humor of this. Which is acutally saying a lot about how bad this really is.

Can someone send the Chinese government a history lesson from 1664 when London decided to remove all the stray dogs and cats from the streets on the basis they spread disease.

After which time the rat population exploded carrying the plague with it, and leading to the plague of 1665.

Anyway back to the topic

Funniest thing I ever seen, I'm out riding my motorcyle through the countryside, when I encounter a convoy of Harley owners (not the knuckle dragging tattoed variety) so I begin overtaking them since they pottering along at 45-50mph and I need to be somewhere

Coming up to the leader I noticed one had a sign on the back :-
"Wee Willy's Bike"
I nearly fell off laughing

Oh, I just read this article in the paper tonight. I think it fits the thread title rather well.

Fears our crime being imported

PEOPLE born overseas committed one in seven of crimes in Victoria last financial year, including a quarter of rapes and one in five murders.

Exclusive police statistics also show immigrants were behind a quarter of robberies, a fifth of sex assaults, abductions and kidnappings, and 3792 assaults.

But the 2006 Census shows that 1.17 million people, or 26 per cent of Victoria's population, were born overseas.

The anatomy of crime in Victoria, obtained by the Sunday Herald Sun, shows those born in Somalia, Lebanon and New Zealand had the highest crime-per-population rates in Victoria.

They are followed by Turkish, Vietnamese and then Australian-born criminals.

An analysis of the police statistics and 2006 Census figures shows on average one in nine Victorians born in Somalia committed a crime in the state last year.

One in 20 Lebanon-born Victorians were offenders compared with one in 31 born in Australia.

The revelations have sparked calls from crime victims for tougher deportation and screening of immigrants.

Bold mine.

how do i math??

<...>
Volunteers played a ‘public goods’ game in which they were given tokens and told they could either keep them all for themselves, or put it into a common ‘pot’ that would yield extra interest that would be shared out equally among all players.

If all volunteers pooled their money then all would come out with more at the end of the game. But if individuals chose to keep the money for themselves — and not contribute anything — they could keep all of it and also benefit from the generosity of others, by sharing in the pooled interest.

Levels of co-operation were remarkably similar across all 16 nations. However, behaviour changed dramatically when everyone’s contributions were revealed — and players were given the ability to ‘punish’ other players. Players could punish each other by taking tokens away from each other, although this option cost the punisher a token as well. As previous studies have shown, players were willing to part with a token of their own in order to punish low investors or freeloaders.

But the Science study also uncovered a new phenomenon. In subsequent rounds of the game, the freeloaders took revenge and hit back at their higher-paying counterparts in what is described as ‘anti-social punishment’.
<...>
The ultimate effect of this is to decrease co-operation between individuals, bringing down contributions and earnings to very low levels.

Kind of sad when you get punished for trying to do the right thing. But also funny in a perverse way.
I'd probably have spend all my tokens bankrupting the freeloaders once they did that.

The numbers suggest that the immigrants are more law abiding, right?

That bit in Jennifer Government when Hayley McDonald's was just shot, and the ambulance wants a credit cards number. :p:( Tragicomedy satire.

Someone writing a list of boys they'd like to shag before May.

So what do you do for a living? I manage cheese.

A guy robbed another person for their tacos once, that was pretty sad, we'l never know what happened to those tacos or that guy.

My mom, falling down to the floor at the mall from stepping on some oily mayo. She looked hilarious while falling, but it was sad because she hurt her hip pretty bad. I felt awful for laughing.:(

The numbers suggest that the immigrants are more law abiding, right?

It suggests that the native 74% of the population commits 85% (6 divided by 7) of the crime.

Once, I saw a clown fed into a meat grinder.
I was pretty depressed afterward, because all that sausage went to waste when no one was willing to eat it.

Bologna! No, not the clown, your story.

When I saw a baby get kicked in the face. I saw this video on youtube and this baby(probably about a year) wondered out in a field where some kids were playing and one of the kids was running at full speed, didn't see the baby and kicked him square in the face. Needless to say I lolz hard.
