Death Treat

Alas, not "Death by Chocolate."

"Federal Jury Convicts Black Mountain, N.C. Man For Communicating A Death Treat On Twitter," reads the headline of a Justice Department press release. (Here's an archive copy in case the press release gets corrected.) Typos happen—I've made plenty in my posts—and this one is no big deal, but I thought it was mildly amusing in a macabre way, so I passed it along.

UPDATE: Thanks to commenter Toranth for the comment that prompted me to add the subtitle.

Better than "death teat" I suppose.

That article was a couple of days ago.

Death by Chocolate is not a joke!

"Chocolate pictures of chocolate death by chocolate" pretty much sums up those delectable death-defying pictures.

It's still there. Not at all sure what a "death treat" might be--maybe a confection prepared by Dr. Kevorkian?

"The latest rehearsals are to prepare for a marathon hearing in the same room beginning on Monday morning. . . ."

Wow, rehearsals. Can anyone deny that the word kabuki doesn't apply?

Wrong stage. Check your ticket.

Death tweet?

Should have just intentionally infected them with HIV in California.

Gives a whole new meaning to "trick or treat," doesn't it!

"Death by Chocolate"

It's how long-time VC commenter theobromophile kills her dogs. She's so brazen about it, she put it in her name. (jk)
