Superman arrested in Seattle
 
I wish I could find the footage of this nutter that the news has been showing.

Quote:

A man dressed up as Superman was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon after allegedly making threats to take a baby.

It happened around noon at a café at Third Avenue and Pine Street in downtown Seattle.

Seattle Police say the man has an outstanding warrant.

Earlier reports that the man had been throwing rocks at people turned out to be false.
I LOVE this logo: :lol:

So first Batman is accused of doing harm to his mom and sister...and now Superman is arrested for making threats to an infant?! WTF?!

The fact that you refuse to call them Christian Bale and "crazy guy in Superman costume" confirms my suspicions that you don't have a very solid grasp on reality.

"In his defense, the baby was being kind of a dick."

JetsAndHeels 07-24-2008 06:03 PM

Hi everyone,

I am just getting back from Seattle. Anything I missed?

KROW 07-24-2008 09:27 PM

Just because the baby had a green rock in its diaper is no excuse for this guy to go apesh*t.

A little *too* Raph 07-24-2008 09:54 PM

Raph's Girl 07-24-2008 10:21 PM

According to the local news. He walked into a restauraunt as Superman and threatened to take some woman's baby away from her and do harm to the baby. What a sicko.

No, she just has a very sadistic sense of humor, because I myself, would have posted the same thing if she hadn't beaten me to the punch! What do you expect? Two incidents related to superheroes is in the media, of course someone is going to crack jokes at it!

Jester 07-24-2008 10:44 PM

Next thing we'll hear that Spider-man is acquitted of some heinous crime.

Warhorse 07-24-2008 11:01 PM

Or Wonder Woman had a love child from her affair with her 16 year old next door neighbor!

Well that would be good. Being Acquitted means he's not guilty.

... "sadistic sense of humor"? What was so sadistic in it?

Unless you mean "painful", then I can agree. I had to hiss and clench my teeth when I read that.

Sadistic, in the sense that people can laugh at something that we shouldn't, such as a crime. But come on, I see the thread topics, first Christian Bale arrested, then Superman arrested, I couldn't help it. I did snicker at that, though I should be taking such things more seriously. But I can't. It's funny.

And I wonder what's next. Did Ironman, uh, I mean, Robert Downey Jr, go back to re-hab yet, or is he pretty much all cleaned up?:ohwell:

We definitely have different definitions of the word "sadism".

Sadistic-

1. Psychiatry. sexual gratification gained through causing pain or degradation to others. Compare masochism.
2. any enjoyment in being cruel.
3. extreme cruelty.

My dictionary has:
1. The obtaining of sexual gratification or the tendency to derive sexual gratification from inflicting pain or emotional abuse on others.
2. The obtaining of pleasure, or the tendency to obtain pleasure, from cruelty.
3. Extreme cruelty.

Anybody who enjoys watching horror movies and bad jokes are either sadistic or have a sadistic sense of humor. Also knwn or phrased as dark humor. It was cruel to take something as serious as a man dressed up like Superman and Christian Bale being arrested for assult charges, and joke about how superheroes are being thrown in jail and doing un ethical things, hence, sadistic sense of humor. Or should I re-phrase it to dark sense of humor? Or perhaps you all would be happier with poor or uncivilized sense of humor?

Well, I threw in a poop joke and no one b*tched, so maybe we're good with the "poor or uncivilized humor" category.

A guy dressed up as Superman does something bad, a guy who portrayed Batman did something bad, and the guy who played Iron Man was in drug rehab a while back. You know what this means?

The Joker was right...

... and he's laughing at us.

I think proper grammar makes you look a little less retarded... but that's just my opinion.

Perhaps I'm either so blase or morally corrupted, but I don't really find anything "serious" in the aforementioned news. That's why I can't find anything especially "wrong" or even "sadistic" in laughing at them.

For me, laughing at either handicapped or terminally ill people would be "sadistic". Or those starving to death in Africa. But at a Hollywood celebrity having family issues? Or at some kind of a moron dressed up like Superman? It's just ridiculous on it's own, not "serious".

... oh. So that was a prime example of high-class and civilized sense of humor? Sounds like we don't need Monty Python anymore, then.

Again, what does my signature have to do with this topic when this could have been brought up in another thread, or PM'd to me directly? Don't you think that would have been a wiser move?

I don't find anything serious about the jokes of people impersonating superheroes being thrown in jail serious either. I was just commenting on someone's distaste for Raph Girl to make the connections, which is going to happen, and I took it as that person who thought she didn't have a grasp on reality for the jokes just didn't appreciate or comprehend dark or uncivilized humor, or couldn't smirk at a poor tasted joke.

As for your second phrase, both the jokes of impersonated superheroes gone bad and people who laugh at the handicapped, terminally ill or the unfortunate are sadistic, but I actually have enough morals to be disgusted by the latter type of jokes.
