Explosions at Boston Marathon

Crock pot fires are dangerous though.

Goddamned right.  Pressure cookers are exploding all over the world, you can only imagine the threat crock pots pose.

Wow... the woman was killed two days ago. Can we give it a week at least before we start with this shit?

Jesus.

We have this conversation everytime. Humour is a perfectly acceptable way to deal with grief.

languish does gallows humour well

You have me convinced.  If I see a crock pot beside the road I am getting the fuck out of there.

Fox pulls 'Family Guy' episode referring to deaths at Boston Marathon; no plans to re-air
By Associated Press, Published: April 16

NEW YORK — Fox has pulled from websites a recent episode of "Family Guy" that depicts mass deaths at the Boston Marathon, and has no immediate plans to air it again.

Fox spokeswoman Gaude Paez said Tuesday the episode has been removed from Fox.com and Hulu.com.

In the episode, protagonist Peter Griffin is asked by sports announcer Bob Costas about his performance at the marathon. A flashback shows Peter mowing down runners with his car.

"I'll tell ya, Bob, I just got in my car and drove it," Griffin says. "And when there was a guy in my way, I killed him."

Later, Peter befriends a terrorist who, unbeknownst to him, is plotting to blow up a bridge. When Peter dials a cellphone the friend has given him, explosions and screams are heard. On some websites, an edited clip has been circulating that fuses the two scenes, making it seem — incorrectly — as if the explosion was at the marathon. Some commenters have implied that the show "predicted" the bombings.

"Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane took to Twitter on Tuesday to vent anger over the edited clip and offer condolences to victims of Monday's bombings at the marathon.

"The edited 'Family Guy' clip currently circulating is abhorrent," MacFarlane tweeted. "The event was a crime and a tragedy, and my thoughts are with the victims."

Personally, I thought it was a hilarious episode.

Only you can prevent forest fires at 170°F for 6 hours.

Raz, I don't even want to think about.

AR is using gallows humor to not make sense, but to deflect emotion from unthinkable to risible.

So, have no groups claimed responsibility so far? Normally, someone would try to coat tail on these things.

I kinda wonder if that Saudi guy who was tackled by Mart right after the blast is a genuine suspect, and they emphatic announcements that he's not are a ruse to trick him into communicating with someone in the hopes that he thinks he's not under surveillance.

You sound like FBI material, son.  Apply today!

The truth is out there.

Yep.  My kid liked the Angry Birds part.  But still a bit creepy to watch again after Monday.  Need to flag it for "do not delete" on the Tivo, cuz who knows if we'll ever see it again.

Jay Mohr blamed the bombing on gun culture & called for a repeal of the 2nd Amendment

Nothing wrong with crock pots. Now, toaster ovens, those fucking things are dangerous.
