FTA:The rubbish pile, which contained broken glass, tyres and human remains

What the hell? The families can't afford to upkeep the graves so...what?...they're dumped in a garbage pile? People steal jewelry off the bodies?

This story was so full of unbelievable WTF

From TFA:
Dozens of people search the rubbish tip every day to take jewellery from bodies dumped there when their relatives cannot afford to pay for the upkeep of their graves, Chavez said.

If your financial situation is such that you have to deep-six Grandma in the garbage dump, maybe you shouldn't bury valuable jewelry with her.

See, you're shiat's all farked up, and you sound like a tard. That'll be $5,000.

Apparently the admins have replaced the typical Fark thread with a Digg thread. I wonder if anyone will notice.

Don't worry scrote. There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. She's a pilot now.

So..if you dont pay upkeep for mowing a 7' x 3' area of grass, they throw your relative in the landfill? WTF?

Is this the one that when it falls in to the ocean will cause a tsunami that will circle the earth three times? Because my Space: 1999 Eagle Transporter is in there around the 1978 level. I'd like it back. I didn't mean to throw it away.

FTA: Last month, eight people were killed in a similar collapse at Guatemala City's main rubbish dump, located to the south of the capital.

Subby, it's a monthly thing... apparently.

 
MightySausage 2008-07-27 09:50:51 PM  
Having finally seen this movie on Friday night, I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

A big WTF goes out to the bodies in landfills, though.

No big deal. Guatematecos make about a dollar a day.
What am I'm thinking? This is FARK. It's sad, and any one person can't change the situation. Been down there for a few years.
Setting up a boat place to be owned by a family in the Rio Dulce area. Look it up......

You gotta figure they don't dig out the ones from last month's collapse. The recent victims will fall on the guys digging next month, ad infinitum until the monsoons stop this year.

I wonder how big the feral dogs and rats are...

Why does this retarded "current" site keep getting linked? It farking sucks and just copies other people's content. Original link:

Theres that fag talk we talked about.

 
dbaggins 2008-07-27 10:03:43 PM  
Won't they end up finding all sorts of "victims" in this landslide ?

I mean, dirty dead people in a pile would all kind of look the same right ?

 
dbaggins 2008-07-27 10:04:37 PM  
insert Idiocracy joke here.

 
GoSurfing [TotalFark] 2008-07-27 10:07:04 PM  
Do the shiat fags identify as shiat or as fags first and foremost?

 
Merus 2008-07-27 10:07:58 PM  
I would totally have not gotten this thread has I not watched Idiocracy last night. Thanks for justifying my time, internet!

The biggest shock I find is that the people dumping the bodies don't strip the jewelry first.
/sorry thats #2
//#1 is that is wasn't stripped the night after the burial.

It rather reminds me of that horrible plane crash in that Polish cemetary in the '70s. Authorities recovered thousands of bodies.

I guess everyone is making idiocracy references? I need to see that movie already.

How can you possibly take anything seriously that was linked thru al-jazeera.com?

even the comments sound faked.

 
Atharaenea 2008-07-27 10:25:26 PM  
It was a funny movie, sure, but that's not how things will happen. There are countries other than the US that value intelligence over ignorance (China, Japan). We'll just end up being the 3rd world country and they'll end up sending us food.

 
Grandmas Candy Dish 2008-07-27 10:26:43 PM  
I had to read this article twice to make sure it didn't take place in Gary, Indiana.

 
cksewell [TotalFark] 2008-07-27 10:27:19 PM  
Hundreds of police and bystanders are searching for those missing

Are they searching or just standing around?

This whole article smacks of inconsistencies.

Why come you talk like a fag?
