Roadkill is serious business!
Over at Found Magazine, today's find is a picture of a couple posing with a dead deer. First commenter Sara hits the nail on the head with "Well, that's fucked up." But then the comments get more and more batshit. For example:

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT OKAY. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I WANT BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN TO THOSE TWO PEOPLE - THE WORST OF THE WORST. MAY THEY LIVE IN COMPLETE PAIN THEIR ENTIRE LIVES.

What if someone did that to their grandmother? Would it be funny then? What if someone did that to their daughter? Would you all crack jokes?

And so on and so forth. I don't know what's funnier, the constant talk of how the girl will get "panty crickets" from sitting on the dead deer, or commenter "I'm in love with animals", who insists that the deer is being sexually abused: "sexual abuse after death.. what's that called?? necrophilia? (something like that.. that girl is a necrophiliac)" Ooookay.

So much OT rambling ahead...

Unless they stop and hold a candlelight vigil over the corpse of every piece of roadkill that they pass on the highway.

True story:

I used to live in a very rural area, where it was not uncommon for giant wild boar (and other wildlife) to frolic on the main road. Pain in the ass because if you hit one, that was pretty much the end of your vehicle, but there would be dead boar carcasses all over, especially during grape season.

One day, I'm driving back home and I see a large group of people standing around a dead pig with flashlights, all in a circle, several of them with these large rain ponchos on. It looked like a movie version of some creepy pagan ritual, and my first thought was, "THEY'RE TRYING TO BRING THE PIG BACK TO LIFE OMG." (Come on, it was midnight, I was tired.)

Later, I asked my dad (a cop in the area) if he knew what was going on. Turned out it was a group of young adults from Berkeley (where else?) who had hit the pig with their bus and were apologizing...and they were in the process of cutting up the pig to use the meat (I guess so the pig didn't die for nothing?) when one of the local cops stopped and asked what was going on.

Moral: people from Berkeley are fucking weird.

	But I enjoy making stereotypes based on crazy people I see stopped along the highway! (No, I know y'all aren't all crazy. Though I do think driving in Berkeley is enough to make anyone nuts.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	But surely you won't deny me my Berkeleyan right to get all worked up about something that's not a big deal! (That's true of driving in the Bay Area in general, sadly. Everyone's off in their own little world.) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	cutting up the pig to use the meat (I guess so the pig didn't die for nothing?) It's free food, man, if you've got the time... (Reply to this)(Parent)
