'Sad' tag? Sad for who, exactly?

Officers say they have found 120 bodies so far, and they're still looking through the charred remains.

There were no injuries reported as a result of the fire, City News Service reported. Mortuary spokesman John Kirk said there were no decedents or human ashes in the building at the time.

/Did subby actually read the article?

I'm sorry to inform you, madam, that you will not be able to have a burial for your husband as they were burned in our recent building fire. However we would like to refund you the price difference between a burial and a cremation.

Am I missing something? TFA says no bodies were there... Is this subby's lame attempt at humor?

Hey, just because we're bereaved doesn't make us saps.

Sorry. I just can't do it.

FTFA: "Preliminary reports show there was a Christmas tree on fire outside of the building"
If only they'd put away their decorations earlier...

You know who else used to use fire to get rid of bodies?

Obama?

Grandma Mazur must have been visiting Los Angeles.

Booo. That is what I came for.

It'd be a good way to hide a body, if life was a murder-mystery TV show.

A business is destroyed, and this gets asked. If this was presented to me without any other context, I'd still know it was from Fark.

Do burn victims get half off?
 
2012-01-13 12:10:21 PM
And another completely false headline gets a green light... wtf, admins?

Headlines are funny when they make a joke about what happened in TFA, not when they just make shiat up.

They sent 100 firemen to fight a fire at a 2000 square foot building? I don't know much about firefighting but doesn't that seem excessive?

Watching the news last night, I believe they were concerned that the fire was spreading to nearby apartments.

Where do you bury the survivors?

That makes a lot more sense. My house is 1500 s.f. and on a pretty big lot but I'm trying to picture 100 firemen and their vehicles around my house. They'd probably stretch for a couple of blocks.

Hmmm. A house near mine caught on fire and it didn't take 100 fireman. These houses are pretty close together.
Watched other buildings burn that were near or connected to other buildings and generally there's not that many fireman.

Either that was one hell of a fire, or nothing much was going on that night so a bunch showed up just because.

Brings to mind the Liam Nelson movie where he played a serial killer funeral director.

Two middle-aged businessmen, who haven't met each other in years, spot each other in a resort in the Bahamas.
"Jerry," says the first, "How's the funeral business doing?"
"What funeral business? I had a fire, a misfunction in the electrical panel for the fire alarm, would you believe? I said to myself, Jerry, you're 56, you've still got some good years ahead of you, time to enjoy life, so I sold the property, took the insurance money, moved to a nice condo and Rebecca and me, the world's biggest workaholic, are on a cruise now, would you believe it? But how's your car sales doing, Izzy?"
The other businessman replies "You remember that big hurricane came out this way? Wiped out my dealership building, wrecked most of my stock. Enough with this, I said, no more 14-hour days worrying my head off, so I took the insurance settlement and went on vacation, and here I am."
His friend looks awed and says "So- what'd it cost to arrange a hurricane?"
