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.
