That is evil but funny. :) I did it to my niece when she was little. Or something with a lot of vinegar.
Picking on ANYONE who has a disadvantage enrages me. Calling someone with a learning disability a retard is completely uncalled for. I reserver that word for people who should know better but choose to do stupid things instead.
The Can Man story reminds me of somehting that happened when i was in Paris when i was younger.
We were at a little bistro having a drink. it was on a street corner down from where Jim Morrison was Burind (no doubt Hellfire knows what Im talking about)
There was a trashcan in fron t of the place, and this old homeless guy walked up to it and looked in. This all happened maybe 6 feet away from me and my family having coffee...
He reaches in, pulls out something wrappe din plastic, and unwraps it. It was a partial head of lettuce. he stripped off some rotted leaves, then began taking the cleaner ones off and eating them. After a minute or two, i could see my dad getting ready to ask him if he wouldnt mind taking it somewhere else, when a garbage truck pulls up, and two hguys dressed in friggin hazmat suits run up, grab the lettuce, throw it in the garbage, open the lid, grab the bag, throw it inot the grbage truck, put a new bag in, then take off, in like 45 seconds.
Meanwhile, the old homeless guy is standing there looking straight ahead, as if someone hit the pause button. After the truck was gone, he just walked off, as if nothing had happened.
it was funny ina really absurd "I cant believe that just happened...." sort of way, but i always felt horrible fo rthe guy. I couldnt help but think of what might have lead to him being homeless, and wondering when his next meal would be.
At the same time, I dont care what they do to the people on fear factor. laughing at their misfortune is not only okay, it's everyone's moral duty. Anyone who puts themself through that kind of shit out of pure greed deserves to be ridiculed.
