I Dare You Not to Laugh

Posted on 12/18/2009 at 11:34 pm by Bob Cesca

This is such an awful, awful story, but the news anchor couldn’t stop laughing. But you know what? I started laughing at the same time she did. Test your laughing threshold:

I feel terrible for laughing. But I couldn’t help it. That mugshot!

    Oh, I saw this picture earlier and didn’t read the headline before I started laughing. Then I felt terrible for laughing. I can completely understand why she did. But I am also the type of person who laughs at people falling — it’s a reflex for me.Jennifer

    nope, I didn’t laugh. But I won’t judge you for doing so.

    Nope. Didn’t laugh. The mugshot might be funny if you’re not hearing at the same time about the dismemberment of a young mother of two children.Sort of takes the fun out of it for me.

    No laugh, but I did almost smile. Laughing doesn’t make anyone a bad person, for what it’s worth.I feel sorry for the poor newsreader. She could break every major story for the next four decades and win a roomful of awards for doing so, and she’d still always be remembered as the woman who laughed while describing a brutal murder.

    An example that none of what happens to actual human beings is real to the news-bimbos(male or female). And you? Yes, the guy’s expression is ridiculous, but it would be worth trying to comprehend what he allegedly just did. How? Easy, picture it happening to your own family. Not smiling now? Welcome to adulthood.

    Is it funny because the guy looks funny?

    You’re totally right, Bob. I started laughing the minute she mentioned a guy chopping up his wife.Wait — wasn’t that the funny part?
