Assholes. You and the guy who wrote this piece of ****. Would you be so
high on spirits and amusement if you were one of those on that bus?
Wearing the same clothes for months on end, haven't had a shower in weeks,
let alone one really good meal for the week? Let alone a nice cozy warm
bed to sleep in that's not covered in roaches? While you sit there reading
this, I hope to hell that someday very soon you will be joining that group
on that bus. With your pathetic brown paper bag full of all of your
prescious belongings. What? Not laughing now ****head?


There was no bus. There were no people. The Onion is a fictional spoof
newspaper. Dimwit.

30 Miserable Lives Lost In Greyhound Bus Crash

I am well aware of that, asshole. Why was Albany Ny chosen as the
place of the mishap?


Because it was still in the hat when the location got picked?

Maybe because that's where the governor of the state lives?


How tragic.

There are certain things that I find not funny due to the
nature of the article.


Clue: It's not an article.

This article is anything but funny.


I said, "It's not an article."

Some time ago someone had posted a story about a lawsuit involving
chess sets being black and white and based on a racial issue. Humorous
to read, but not hilarious. As was the story of the man who sued
himself and won.


Onion stories are always hilarious.

Except for the one about the sports coupe and thalidomide babies.

No, you WEREN'T aware of that. I quote you from two posts back:

Assholes. You and the guy who wrote this piece of ****. Would you be so
high on spirits and amusement if you were one of those on that bus?
Wearing the same clothes for months on end, haven't had a shower in
weeks, let alone one really good meal for the week? Let alone a nice
cozy warm bed to sleep in that's not covered in roaches? While you sit

Those aren't the words of someone who's "well aware" that it was a spoof.
That's why I called you a "dimwit", and I still call you one.

So now that you've belatedly realized it's a spoof, you still say it's not
funny. So be it, that's your loss. But while an article that actually made
fun of the misfortune of real people might be enough to warrant slinging the
"asshole" accusation around, the fact that it is merely a spoof that you
found unfunny doesn't make either the people who wrote it or the people who
enjoyed reading it assholes. You're just a nasty piece of work, and nobody
likes you.
