Suicide by pure and excessive stupidity

Double Facepalm
Double Facepalm: for when one facepalm just isn’t enough

Recently, a group of animal rights activists thought it would be a good idea to go to a large motorcycle rally and start screaming obscenities and hurling fake blood at the bikers there, all to “show them [the activists’] outrage at their wanton use of leather in their clothing and motor bike seats”, and to get them to stop.

Three One guesses what happened.

Johnstown, PA (GlossyNews) – Local and state police scoured the hills outside rural Johnstown, Pennsylvania, after reports of three animal rights activists going missing after attempting to protest the wearing of leather at a large motorcycle gang rally this weekend. Two others, previously reported missing, were discovered by fast food workers “duct taped inside several fast food restaurant dumpsters,” according to police officials.

“Something just went wrong,” said a still visibly shaken organizer of the protest. “Something just went horribly, horribly, wrong.”

You. Don’t. Say.

Not to defend delinquent bikers, and I’m not one who’s in the habit of mocking when bad things happen to people (who aren’t deserving assholes, that is), but …

I think I detect the lovely aroma of a new batch of Darwin Awards coming out of the oven.
