Well, it's happened again. Another mass killing in a school, in Finland this time. After a murderous shooting spree like the one that occurred yesterday, it's de rigeur to ask how the killer got his hands on a gun. But you know what?
We don't care.
All what we want to know is where he scored the cool Humanity Is Overrated t-shirt. Jeepers, this guy's from Finland, where most people are walking around in clothing made of birch bark and sewn-together elk anuses, and he's still got way cooler threads than us.
Which leads us to wonder, what's he got to go on a killing spree for?
People simply have no sense of perspective anymore. This guy should have been grateful, what with owning not only the t-shirt and the cool gun but also the technology necessary to post his stupid video on YouTube, especially what with him being from a place with reindeer and shit. We don't have any of the three, and we're from the U.S., but you don't see us going on a killing spree. Why? Because we're not part of today's global "give me cool clothes and a gun and a video camera and I'll still kill everybody" culture.
We deplore mass killings by people who have cooler t-shirts than we do. It's bad enough they have to kill people, without rubbing our nose in our lack of even one cool message t-shirt, much less one as cool as some doofus from Finland has managed to get his paws on.
it's just not right
This makes me want to laugh and bash you for being disrespectful at the same time. Good work on finding humour in a bad situation, but I think it's a bit disrespectful. You won't find those dead people laughing at his t-shirt.
Humour is a good medicine, but tread cautiously as to where you dispense it. Even Mad magazine refrained from poking fun at 9/11.

Mark - that is why UF is so much funnier than Mad Magazine.
Peteski - when do the shirts go on sale? btw, is that your sister?

T-shirts don't kill people, people do.

Oh, I dunno, I think UF's humor is cutting edge. Or shooting edge, in this case.

Well, cynicism is the last resort of the desperate. Drugs and alcohol might giveyou relief for a short time, but in the end they will keep you away from the good things that still occasionally happen, like watching Larry Craig getting busted or the latest King Khan-record or getting laid by that witty and intelligent woman you are with, you know, with your penis getting sucked into her wet and hot pussy and her riding you real hard, her breasts bouncing on your chest and in your face and leaving you all battered and torn, covered with bites and bruises an sweat and sperm and still begging for more - well you know what I mean. What I wanted to say is: being a cynic doesn't mean you're a bad person. It's only a way to get along. Keep the faith, Mark.

2.0! Now you're talking. That's a killer t-shirt. Can't wait for 10.0 or maybe I'm just getting caught up in the marketing.

Dead people don't laugh, it's true. But they're laughing on the inside.
Peteski, how do we get our paws on that t-shirt? Or more relevantly, that t-shirt model?
Jan Martin, whatever you took before posting, we want some of it.
Happy Friday everybody!
