   I was checking out this article when all of a sudden --
   
   
   
   Clowns were one of humanity's greatest mistakes.
   
   And the best bit, from the article: "Hurricane Katrina killed this clown."
   
   Does that look dead to you?

   Clowns are nothing but souless imps, disposed by a uncaring god who hates all humanity.

   Mexican army finds gigantic pot plantation described as 'the largest in Mexico'. Officials have said the army will be 'disposing' of the crop over the next few days. Sales of chips, pizza and burritos are expected to skyrocket.

   Why isn't there any sort of cross-referencing going on in people's heads when they name their children 'Richard'?

    @BrianMowrey - Speaking as someone named Richard, it's because their parents assume the entire world won't be puerile idiots. Those parents are, of course, wrong. I turn thirty this year and still get full-on "adults" screaming HA HA YOUR NAME IS DICK CUMMINGS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA at me.
    
    I love my parents, I don't mind my name, but seriously fuck people forever. The worst part is that every goddamn one of them thinks they're the first person to come up with it. No, asshole, I haven't been hearing that since the fourth grade.

    @rickiep00h - Now I feel kind of bad for laughing at Richard Face.
    
    That being said, as a guy who goes by DJ, it is insanely fucking infuriating when everyone I ever meet goes "Play me a beat, DJ!" or one of a million inane iterations of that same joke.

    @DJ Stawes - I've mostly come to accept it, which is why I still laugh at people like Richard Face, and former Fort Wayne mayor Harry Baals (pronounced exactly how you think.) It's one of those stupid things that people do, and you just live with it. At this point it's like hearing a The Cake is a Lie reference, except you're the cake.
    
    Somewhat tangentially related: did it really take this long for Nyan Cat to show up here? Because there's this:
    
    
    
    which some SA goon came up with for a guild recruitment video for The Old Republic. It's... oddly soothing.

    My genuine, non-internet porn-star website-generated surname is "Hardman", which has always proven endlessly abusable in it and of itself.
    
    For the first time in my life, I've realised how grateful I should be my parents lacked the necessary sense of humour to give me Richard as a first name.
