Brickbat: Suicide Is Painless

Savetibet.org

Chinese officials have responded to a wave of Tibetans setting themselves on fire to protest the occupation of their country. They've arrested people they accuse of helping others set themselves of fire and seized more than 1,800 satellite TV dishes in an effort to keep news from spreading across Tibet.

With the high value the Chinese seem to place on human life, I can see how this would be a problem.

[PS]

It's redshirts all the way down, get it? GET IT? BECAUSE THEY ARE COMMUNISTS AND RED IS THE COMMUNIST COLOR AND REDSHIRTS ALWAYS DIE IN THE FIRST FIVE SECONDS OF AN AWAY MISSION!!!

The Chinese Strategy is to wait it out. Either the Tibetans will give up, or burn up.

The PRC are just pissed off that they can't harvest organs after one self-immolates.

What are you talking about? Everyone likes good barbecue.

Yep, I cooked up beef barbecue from chuck roasts (the cheapest beef at the store last week) yesterday, and grilled hamburgers and hot dogs the day before.

Funny, when it started raining people acted like I wouldn't be able to grill. Put on a hat and grill, right? It's not like it's going to put out the charcoal.

If you love somebody better set them on fire...

I love the sound of Dead Milkmen in the morning.

You know what, sarcasmic? I like you. You're not like the other people, here in the trailer park.

[sarcasmic]

That's because I'm only here to screw your sister.

[Ted S.]

It's a better sound than dumb Daily Mail links.

Lined up and ready to go!

I hope for the Tibetan's sake the PRC doesn't use American police thinking... "a suicide?! Start shooting boys!"

[db]

The fact pattern indicated the suspect wanted to die...there to serve...procedures were followed...officers were commended...bills for ammunition were presented to family...

...along with the dog corpse.
