Ah yes, because there's a direct relationship between clicking the "shank" button, and actually stabbing someone. Clearly Facebook is culpable.

Facepalm.

If that's true, then Rockstar will soon be facing the death penalty.

Nayest: Facepalm book.

Sorry, pet peeve.

::throws a sheep at everyone::

It's a verb. Y'know, to shank?

/Too bad I don't do Wastebook, I might have fun "shanking" people.

I refuse to post intelligent threads on Total Fark until the british media commits ritualistic japanese suicide on live TV.

That's stupid. That writer of the article deserves to get a Winnepeg handshake.

/fark your slashies biatch

eqtworld: The UK is gripped by a wave of knife violence?

They should simply ban all guns and knives and install many cameras all over the city so the government can watch the Queen's subjects; that would solve everything.

/dumbasses

And Klingon swords.

farking nannystate retard momma's boys.

Well, the thread's been great so far. Also, does the "poke" function encourage rape?

I guess the 'Behead' button is on hold for now then?


/too soon?

people can even find that on facebook?

it's the most convoluted web site I have ever used. I think I hit a major defect every 3rd click.

I misread that as shark and was trying to figure out the connection between sharks and knife crime

I will farking stab them so hard!

Seriously?
Knives are tools. Really farking useful tools. I HATE that I can't carry one in most of europe without problems. I would never farking carry one in the UK... they're so farking nuts.

The one thing America still gets right(and some of scandinavia). Knife Carrying! Every man should carry a knife.
I remember when I used to carry a big hunting knife on me at all times when I lived in Utah. Miss those times..

superpoke! sounds fun. afro-pop. oy yay!!!

We should also ban Michael Shanks. Just for his wiggly eyebrows.

Or, alternatively, why don't they just have a "rape" function?

You know, Britons should really ban their teeth. That's farking scary.

/obligatory

removed? damn, i was going to shank all my friends

IRONIC MINIMALIST: Well, the thread's been great so far. Also, does the "poke" function encourage rape?

No, but I suspect a sharp rise in the number kancho (new window) incidents...

Facebook? Mo like skank application.

I stabbed The Sun's editor in the face so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

/RTFA and feeling slashy

Or make it legal for people to carry a gun. That'll tend to have a constabulatory effect. What did Sean Connery say about guns and knives? He's English, right? (Scottish I know).

What do they have against tennis?

Rabblerabblerabblerabble!!

hnb: Or, alternatively, why don't they just have a "rape" function?

DUDE...I AM SO THERE!!!!

/Would make connecting with folks a LOT more fun.

medius: removed? damn, i was going to shank all my friends

I'm with you, medius! If only poor, little Kyle (new window) had known about this!

Poor, shank-less, shotgun-less Kyle. All the more reason why four-year-olds should have unlimited access to facebook.

Approve of the handgun and knife-carry ban.

Because the CEO of facebook definately created that application, and he definately added the ability to shank people, and he definately did it to encourage real life slashings.

Well, it might start another round of Canadian bus shanking...

Jeeze, how old are you, like 25?

Tribs: We should also ban Michael Shanks. Just for his wiggly eyebrows.

They are scary looking if you watch them for too long....

//just finished watching Continuum....again.

Occam's Chainsaw: It's a verb. Y'know, to shank?

I came here to say just that. Now I don't have to.

/more time for beer now.

Isn't the Sun satirical?

okami36: IRONIC MINIMALIST: Well, the thread's been great so far. Also, does the "poke" function encourage rape?

No, but I suspect a sharp rise in the number kancho (new window) incidents...

Damn, WTF is wrong with that farking country? They even have a gameshow about it? Great idea-- run around, trying to see how often you can shove your index fingers up somebody's anus...

brb

DIAF Sun.

Oh wait...now I've sent them after Fark for influencing arsonists.

Occam's Chainsaw: It's a verb. Y'know, to shank?

I thought of this exact quote, too, but I cannot remember the source. Do you know what it's from?

In the West, professional wrestler John Layfield performs (outside of kayfabe) "kanchoing" on rookie wrestlers.
Well he is a Republican...................

Actually, I think "Kancho" would make a great lucadore name...

People are stupid.

The Sun is a satire website, isn't it?

hnb: Or, alternatively, why don't they just have a "rape" function?

Krupple: The Sun is a satire website, isn't it?

Well I have to question that theory when other news sites are reporting it.

Remember kids, banning guns results in less youth violence. Just look at the UK!

The Sun is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who also owns MySpace, a direct competitor to Facebook. Do the maths. Anyone who reads The Sun or The Times will be used to regular pseudo-stories denigrating Facebook, just as they are used to stories promoting Sky (also a Murdoch company).
