How bad is it that my first reaction to that article was, "There's still a Planet Hollywood in Vegas?"

There's still a Planet Hollywood in Myrtle Beach, too.

My cynicism has limits, thankfully. I can still be shocked by shit like this.

Yup, people who comment on stories in most newspapers are the lowest of the low.

A NJ girl is abused and tortured for months by her mother's friend while visiting in Florida

Why the mom let a three week trip turn into a three month trip isn't really touched upon.

I'm surprised that didn't make the news over here in State College. Who honeymoons in Sunbury? I guess you can tour the Resilite wrestling mat factory or check out the world's largest inflatable dam.

Fucked up but thats a tame one. Some guys would have killed the wife as well.

Sorry, but I don't think any situation where someone throws a three-year-old kid off a 52-story building is "tame".

Man stabs wife and two young daughters to death. After being caught, he told investigators he would have spared his daughters and taken them with him, but he didn't have car seats.

Do not, under any circumstances, ever read the online comments on a newspaper/local news site. It is just about the lowest rung of humanity who typically comment on just about any story.

This is the correct answer. Add YouTube to that as well. I swear . . . you could see a story on someone's personal blog about a puppy that made friends with a duckling and the yobs will turn the comments section into a low-info argument about politicians.

I know "I'm going to hell for laughing at that" is sort of a rote or hacky response these days, but if it ever applied...

It's shit like this that makes me wish I believed in hell. No words. If someone confessed this time of act to a Catholic Priest, could the Priest tell them, "fuck off, I ain't absolving this. You can go straight to hell where you belong."

That is for the rest of the time, when I am glad there is no hell. But yes, I am fully aware that if hell exists, I am going there in bucket.

Comox, BC. A bit north of Victoria. CHEK is an independent television/radio station in Victoria (one of the few remaining anywhere). I miss living over there. A lot. Pretty cool story.
