Terror is funny


So I found this image of terror in it's purest form....and it was hilarious.

This child is experiencing a truly memory altering moment that most likely will warrant counseling at some point in his life, and what is even more troubling is that mom and dad seemingly decided to make it a Kodak moment, then post it to the web.


There are so many things wrong with this picture from a social aspect; preceivable poor parenting, irresponsibility, emotional scaring, and even possibly a violation of animal rights...and I all I can do is laugh, at some times uncontrollably. This picture is so wildly funny to me that I keep it on my desk top picture frame widget along with pictures of my wife and kids. It truly fills me with guilt and jubilation. Glorious.

Oh, man that's good. Look how the kid's fingers are splayed in some sort of "fight or flight" panic stance.

Why is it in our nature to laugh at the plight of others? There's a video they sometimes show on America's Funniest Videos or someplace that gets me every time. It's a high school basketball game and, at the buzzer, one of the players launches a wild shot across the court. It completely misses the basket but absolutely brains a small kid who's running along side the court. It's awful. And as a parent, I'd be horrified. But man, it cracks me up. Let me see if I can find it on YouTube...

Oh yeah, found it easily: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHmz1JYpx30
