OK, I'm sick.

In the wake of the shooting of the man holding hostages at the headquarters of the Discovery networks, the following appeared in an io9.com thread on the situation.

(Astronaut #1: It never gets old, huh?)
(Astronaut #2: Nope.)
(Astronaut #1: Kinda makes you want to…)
(Astronaut #2: Take a hostage outside the Discovery Channel building?)
(Astronaut #1: Yep.)

He loves explosives
He loves his handgun, too
He hates the teevee
And what it says to do
He’ll take a hostage
And make them save the world
Boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da…
Boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da…


A riff, of course, on this:



Sick and wrong, but when you have a guy carrying a gun and wearing explosives demanding that Discovery stop making shows about war, all you have left is the snark.

OK, I'm sick.

It makes as much sense as someone who claims to follow the Prince of Peace rejoicing in other people's pain, misery, and death.

And from all reports... it was more like fizz-de-yada for his home-made explosives...
