A quote from Ellis in the game Left4Dead2 about a friend of his being horribly maimed comes to mind;”At first it was funny, then it just got sad, but then it got funny again!”That’s pretty much all of the Onion’s articles to me.

Reminds me of being a typical angsty teenager, thinking about killing myself. And thinking “Well, I’ll burn in hell for suicide no matter what, so I might as well kill as many people as I can if I do it!

Actually I used to work in a jail and I have heard variations on this directly from people who had done things as horrible as in one case spend a drugged weekend torturing a baby. It seems most commonly to come from the child molesters.
