[url]http://www.wfsb.com/story/25723503/five-in-custody-after-new-haven-baseball-bat-assault[/url] [Quote=WFSB]New Haven police are investigating an assault with a baseball bat that has left one victim in critical condition and five in custody. The attack happened on Grant Street near Plymouth Street. Police have arrested five people and are still investigating what is said to be an ongoing dispute. [/quote] was browsing the local news's website, and saw this. thought of GTA and the times you use the baseball bat.

[QUOTE=urbanmonkey;45039461]lol a man was nearly clubbed to death haha it's like gta haha you're out!! haha[/QUOTE] it just reminded me of that one mission in SA, jesus christ (the one with the crack house early on). you don't need to be a condescending prick. and even then, SH is the subforum of shit tier puns and jokes, what did you reasonably expect?

What is wrong with you?

[QUOTE=Big Bang;45039548]What is wrong with you?[/QUOTE] idk. maybe I just remember a different SH. An SH where people went to hell for laughing at dark humor. oh well, I took a shot and I missed dearly.

the difference is this isn't even a joke it's a super loose reference to one game containing a baseball bat despite many other pieces of media prominently featuring baseball bat weapons and plenty of historical precedence of them being used as [I]actual [/I]weapons.

Find me one thread in SH where someone posted a news story about a violent crime for the sole purpose to make fun of it, and people thought it was funny, and I will take back everything I've said.

Where's the fucking joke even? Some guy bludgeoned another guy as revenge due to his dad getting pushed of a bike and all you can think of is how you can do that in GTA? Do you snicker when you hear on the news that somebody opened fire on a restaurant or something just because you can do that in a videogame too? Do you actually care more about your precious funny ratings than actually posting the news? Why do you need to add some fucking inane joke in the title of something that isn't fucking funny?

Someone got shot! This is just like that one mission in Modern Warfare where you shoot a gun at a person.

[/QUOTE] This literally proves my point, thank you. [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1210099[/url] TITLE: "Boy laid to rest in Sonic the Hedgehog coffin" Not, "Shoulda had the water wings!! Kid drowns" The OP shows condolences for the situation, people rate hearts, in a p somber thread until Mein Bratwurst makes a pun, which was dark, yeah, but funny because he made it. $100 says that if the OP made the thread with an insensitive pun in the title then posted the drowning song in the OP, he would have been fucking crucified.

oh and you wanted a thread with a title meant to make fun of something terrible? [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1399997[/url] right here on the front page "DAYS SINCE LAST MASS SHOOTING: 0". which is a trope generally seen in comedy.

[QUOTE=bdd458;45039617]i was talking more about the title, not my side comment in the op...[/QUOTE] "Five in custody after New Haven baseball bat assault" sorry but how does this connect to GTA other than "baseball bat assault"

and not SH, but Videos and Things: "what its like to be a mod in the rust subforum" video is "A Day in the Life of a Special Education Teacher" [editline]8th June 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Venezuelan;45039701]"Five in custody after New Haven baseball bat assault" sorry but how does this connect to GTA other than "baseball bat assault"[/QUOTE] it just sorta popped in my head, dunno why. and even then that was a fucking side comment.

But I'm done arguing with you, you're in the wrong, you know it, everyone knows it. Just don't do it again.

It's not "M-m-m-monster killing spree".

some people on facepunch seem to get upset over stuff that really isn't a big deal

Jesus Christ stahp Someone made a bad joke so what Lets talk about the other thing

[QUOTE=Blazedol;45039728]Jesus Christ stahp Someone made a bad joke so what Lets talk about the other thing[/QUOTE] no one actually cares about some local news piece though so as soon as people stop yelling at the OP the thread will die, that's why this is a no substance pointless thread

There's a difference between "it's almost funny how these mass shootings keep happening one after the other" and "OH LOOK AT THESE JACKASSES GETTING SHOT, THEY SHOULD HAVE DUCKED LOL" and then make some asinine remark on how you can do that in some videogame. You're not making fun of something terrible, you're taking something terrible and you're trying to make it funny for some reason.

[QUOTE=Nookyava;45039726]And that excuses yours and makes it okay? Please, get a grip on yourself.[/QUOTE] I was attempting to do what urbanmonkey said. sorry that it offends you so much, sir.

I'm not offended, but rather just disgusted with your poor taste.

[QUOTE=Venezuelan;45039736]no one actually cares about some local news piece though so as soon as people stop yelling at the OP the thread will die, that's why this is a no substance pointless thread[/QUOTE] Well there's still stuff to talk about Like how this is still going on Who knows, Miley Cyrus might have been involved Ok maybe not but whatever

[QUOTE=Nookyava;45039751]I'm not offended, but rather just disgusted with your poor taste.[/QUOTE] yeah I make it an important part of my day to be disgusted over shit on the internet. Like, I can think of many different ways this thread could have gone. Including "Yeah, it wasn't that funny of a joke in the title", really just in general not being a prick about things. we all could have been like "Yeah", and moved on with our days.

If you don't want an opinion posted on the internet, then don't post on a public forum.

[QUOTE=Nookyava;45039783]If you don't want an opinion posted on the internet, then don't post on a public forum.[/QUOTE] What? What does not having to be a condescending prick have to do with that? Like I can admit that the joke in the title really isn't all that funny, but you don't need to be a prick to get your point across to some random stranger on the internet.

Don't expect people to just be like "yea" and move on with our days, if I see something that I believe I should give an opinion on, then I will. As to being a condescending prick, well, that's your opinion. I don't exactly value an opinion from someone who makes poor jokes at the expense of another's well being. As of this post, I'm done with my contribution to this thread, may it rot as it sees fit.
