Glad this one got greenlit. The last article they greenlit kinda left me hangin.

So, just to be quite plain, there was another, funnier, thread, with another, funnier, headline, and we're sitting around in this thread saying sickly sweet nonsense like "well that poor angel's in heaven now" ?

Thanks a lot, weakmins.

Hetfield: What was the other headline?

It said the kid was going to heaven with holyfields ear...

God the horror

Lorelle: ilikeracecars: Lorelle: Probably the same amount of pain the victims of his violent behavior went through. What goes around comes around.

You're just as bad as the "God has a plan" people. This girl never did anything to anyone.

Oh, she's completely innocent, and I feel bad that she died. That being said, karma finally arrived for him.


Lorelle: big_pth: FARK YOU. This was a little kid you prat. She didn't do anything to anyone. But I guess you can tell whatever f'd-up demon that spawned you, that at least you got a jab in on a man you never even met, when you die.

I'm certainly not glad the child died, but I don't feel any pity for a rapist with a history of violence against women. My sympathy goes to the child's mother and other relatives.


Wow, you have absolutely no idea what karma is, do you? Might want to go back and review your fundamentals of Eastern thought. And if you really believe in karma, you might want to prepare yourself for a karmic shock, my dear.

Poor Mike & family. Such a tragedy.

RIP sweetie.

MyFarkIsWorseThanMyBite: lantawa: So, you have problems with authority and are a closet-gay to boot, I take?

LOL There are no authorities on Fark, it's uh.. Fark a site started so a guy could show squirrel nuts online.

And no... I dislike suckups.


You're really not too bright, are you? Be honest.

Hey at least EA stooped low enough to put his convicted rapist ass on the cover of Fight Night Round 4. I have a 4-year-old sitting next to me watching SpongeBob and if I lost her my world would crumble. A lot of days she is the only reason I get out of bed. I have the code to get to Tyson on Punch Out tattooed around my arm. I used to worship the guy when I was a kid. Now, not so much, but you will never hear me wish something this terrible on a 4-year-old and her family.
 
2009-05-26 08:35:34 PM
I'd say anyone cracking jokes about this is either mentally unstable, doesn't have kids, likely both, or is purely trying to piss someone off.

Kids dying isn't funny.

/couldn't care less what her dad did, she's a kid.

EIP...I have the first 200 comments as well.

Thanks Farkmods. You really cannot leave a tasteless headline like that just hanging on the front page. People tend to run with cruel jokes like that. I'm glad someone had an ear out for what amounts to gross humor.

I think as an exercise of good faith we should all remember that it's never funny when the ball drops on our side of the court.
 
2009-05-26 08:36:38 PM
You know, guys, at the risk of straying too far from the fark herd and being burned alive as a heretic, laughing at tragedy can sometimes just be a healthy way of coping with it.

It doesn't necessarily make you Hitler.

I am now ready to accept your torches and pitchforks.

lol you think someone finding glee in the pain of a parent she doesn't like is going to understand that her joy is giving her a karmic load of her own?

Come on.. a baby died and the father is in pain, allow the woman her fun.
 
2009-05-26 08:37:37 PM
Heck, wasn't a headline of the year nominee "Tank, load the jump program"? It was about a kid accidentally jumping off a roof. I laughed my ass off at that headline, then felt bad for the kid and his family. This is the same thing...only without the laugh because I didn't see the headline in time.

Jeesh, you people have your panties in a wad. Death of anyone/anything is always hilarious especially when you don't know who they are. :P
 
2009-05-26 08:38:23 PM
I just ignored the story and thought to myself that things would be okay. Now I feel really bad. Damn it.

You're a brute, Mike. But I feel really sorry for ya.
 
2009-05-26 08:38:41 PM
I'm just curious why they didn't just change the headline instead of dumping the entire thread. Maybe it is because most of the posts were about the headline. Kind of like this thread is.

detfrost1: What was the original line? I missed it :(

Paraphrasing "Tysons baby exodus to spend eternity with the tip of holyfields ear"
 
2009-05-26 08:39:01 PM
What's amazing are the number of people who projected their own meaning onto the original headline's content, and went off on rants based on their personal interpretation of what was there.

1. It nowhere said the little girl's tragic death was deserved.

2. It nowhere mentioned that Mike was responsible, either by direct, or indirect consequence of his lifestyle, and life choices made over the decades.

3. It did not attempt to portray the girl as careless, or her mother incompetent, or any of the other countless things which were extrapolated on by some of the commenters.

I use dark humor to cope. Or else I'd drink. And as a recovering alcoholic I'd rather make a sick joke than open a bottle. But hey, please continue your wide brush assumptions.

Oh. My. God. You insensitive bastard. If I had a child I'd beat them until you repented for such a heartless headline.

pdieten: Lorelle: Ima10urin8: poor Mike, I couldnt imagine what he's going through

Probably the same amount of pain the victims of his violent behavior went through. What goes around comes around.

Wrong, moronette. If you want justice for what he did, give it to him not an innocent 4-year-old. She didn't get to pick her parents.

RIP


Well the Lord works in mysterious ways...

I can't believe the same site that is all to happy to call autism kids as tards AND worse as front page not news got all politically correct on itself.

+1 to subby who got the original greenlight I laughed and felt mournful at the same time.

The one I feel for is the brother who found her. He won't forget that, ever.

She couldn't have been there long if they were able to keep her alive 'til she got to the hospital. I was hoping she would pull through.

You know, when everyone laughs at someone because they are just so stupid it blows their collective mind?

You're that someone today, you're a very very special someone in fact!

I can understand that argument...if you're the one who has to cope with it. But I just don't see the people cracking jokes here doing so because they're too overwhelmed with grief. I don't begrudge them their snark, I don't want them to be banned for making some tasteless jokes. But to explain the comments away as "they're just coping with tragedy" is more than a little disingenuous. Just say it like it is: they're using a humor website to tee off on some easy "dead baby" one-liners.

/repeat: I do. not. care. what tasteless comments you make.

On a personal individual level, this is a tragedy. For the family of this little girl, my heart weeps.

As a distant unrelated objective observer who doesn't think that any of the Tysons will be reading this thread: If you name a kid Exodus then you can't have been planning for her to hang around long.

Please stop. Just stop posting and drawing attention to yourself. Get help if you need it, and otherwise have a pleasant day, but you just are making things difficult for yourself.

HotInHouston: The one I feel for is the brother who found her. He won't forget that, ever.

My uncle walked in and found his daughter's murdered body 15 years ago, it is an understatement to say that he has never even been close to the same person since that day. Just witnessing first hand how something like that affected a grown man makes me feel so much for the little guy. He will be haunted for life.

/couldn't care less what her dad did, she's a kid.


...and you'd be wrong, so please, stop saying. As well, the kid dying isn't the funny part, that was the introduction for the punch line of Mike biting of what's his name's ear. Just figured I'd point that out since you missed the joke and went off the deep end. Your argument is like saying Mike's kid dying is funny without mentioning the fact that Mike bit that one guy's ear off and it died too which was funny...but that isn't the case. (That in itself some people could find as not funny)...but the fundamental point is that this site takes things that suck and flips them into humor one way or another. So again, get over it.
 
2009-05-26 08:44:36 PM
Children of really nice people die all the time, and I don't grieve over their losses. We're talking about Mike Tyson, a convicted rapist and an overall waste of flesh. So why should I, or anyone else that doesn't know Mike Tyson, give a shiat about this? There's no reason at all to care. Mike Tyson is an evil bastard, so he deserves a whole bunch of saddness thrown in his face.
