What may prove to be the most important story of the year!

I guess this is what the fashionista version of TDS looks like.

Just incredible.

Due to the nonsense "controversy" about the new Joker movie, Warner Bros actually issued a statement. As though people really need to be told this

“Neither the fictional character, nor the film, is an endorsement of real-world violence of any kind. It is not the intention of the film, filmmakers or the studio to hold this character up as a hero.”

So when some piece of crap dresses up as Joker and shoots a place up, they will blame the gun not the influence of the movie...

Blaming the movie doesn't make any more sense than blaming the gun.

Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix can shrug their shoulders as much as they like about their little movie but when the armed forces are preparing to deal with active shooters at screenings you might want to admit that you’ve made Citizen Kane for incels.

Heterosexual? Couple? Wow. This is 2019. I thought we were getting passed these assumptions.

That they have to say this even, makes me think of warnings on blenders. Should be obvious. But apparently isn't.

Something key in the story didn't make it into the headline...

Now it makes more sense.

Well at least it wasn't florida man

Yeah, how do we know these are not in fact a gay trans man and gay trans woman drowning?

If only there were some kind of device that could be used for self defense.

Insects are a cheap and plentiful source of protein eaten in numerous nations around the world. I have no issues with it and would chow down on some toasted grasshoppers if they were more commonly available here.

A Vice reporter ate nothing but bugs for a week. By Friday, she wrote that she wanted to kill herself.

What relatively prosperous nations are that group?

Because of Vice, or the bugs?
