Fail @ Life

[jhameia]

Here's the situation:

Someone on Facebook creates a group called "Kick A Ginger Day".

This group encourages everyone to kick a red-headed person on a specific day.

This was inspired by some South Park episode in which a red-headed kid is kicked by others. Fuck the context, I don't give a shit about context atm. All I need to know is the idea was generated from there. It's not altogether surprising to me; I've always seen South Park as a messed up parody show (no, not satire, the satire failz) with horrible shit happening that's apparently funny.

Result:

CHILDREN FROM CANADA TO THE UNITED KINGDOM GO TO SCHOOL AND KICK RED-HEADED SCHOOLMATES.

And this was a daylong prank.

And this is funny to them.

Just as it was funny on South Park.

And wow, what a joke on Facebook, eh.


That is fucking disgusting.

Times like this make me wish reproductive justice WAS revoked... against people who breed children like these.

Satire is subtle and makes a point.

That's where I was going with it.

Tell that to Zapiro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapiro).

Can't find the offending cartoon that got him sued by Jacob Zuma, but no way it subtle.
