Which sick cunt named a tumor Frank?

Look at the woman's hand and facial expression - It's the Terminator! Look out George or she'll stab you!!!

This one's best - Woman falls to death trying balcony headstand

"Police report the death of a typical US moron. They refuse to rule out murder, but suspect the absence of a balcony may have contributed to her death."

Here's the link to the actual headline (and disappointing article).

Actually, a little boy with a massive, and inoperable, tumor (which was reduced greatly through chemotherapy) at the base of his skull named the tumor "Frank", after "Frankenstein", as a way of dealing with it. It seems he was scared of Frankenstein until he dressed up as the monster on Halloween, and his calling the tumor "Frank" indicates he's no longer afraid of it either.

IIRC, on the day after the Presidential election, Financial Times ran the following headlines side by side: "Dollar falls to new low against euro" and "A mandate from Middle America."

I was referring to the dude who trivialised it with that headline.

You asked "Which sick cunt named a tumor Frank?"

It was the boy that named the tumor Frank, not the reporter...

Agnostic Theist

Oh....I know.


OK, the cunt was in bad taste, but you can't deny he wasn't sick.

Other than some built-in irony from Bush "calling for intelligence" (and stepping into probably two dozen jokes from late-night comics in the process) there's nothing really funny about that headline. The writer may have phrased it in such a way as to get a subtle little jab in, but it's not exactly a knee-slapper. <shrug>


HUMINT (Human Intelligence) is just one of the main categories of intel that is always being collected...like SIGINT, IMINT, ELINT, and so forth.
