Wow, that's really funny guys.

How funny is it when you see a corpse from the aftermath of Katrina.

Go on, make some jokes about the picture now assholes.

oops, sorry.

I guess we should have waited for the great David Cross to make a joke about the hurricane. Then, it will be OK, anything goes.

Hey, this is funny- I read Mr. Robinson's bio, which included -

His leadership in support of the pro-democracy movement in Haiti - which included a 27-day hunger strike -

He didn't have to eat anybody...

Agreed.

Of course, there are certainly thousands of individuals currently experiencing desperation that none of us are ever likely to encounter the likes of, so I suppose that nothing is impossible (just highly unlikely).

Additionally, it would seem to be an incredibly poor decision (regardless of desperation) to consume one of these victim's corpses. These are bodies that have floated through heavily contaminated "water", and have begun decaying in the punishing heat and sun. I can't even imagine the wealth of diseases that one might injest by eating from the dead victims of Hurricane Katrina.

An absolutely dreadful (and hopefully, entirely hypothetical) prospect to consider.

You're a middle-aged guy who collects little toy cars.

That's funny too.

You've got a better suggestion for killing downtime?

Eating corpses? I doubt if anyone's doing that, but it would be
Crap, yes.

I know. Hot Wheels also take room away for LP storage.

The new issue of Motor Trend Classic has a story featuring The Deora, one of the first Hot Wheels made in 1968. Check it out.

I have to admit, that is a fine looking toy.

How would you know people were eating the dead? Did the guy just pop in, have a look around, then go home to write an article?

I have a feeling this is a wind up and the joke's on me because I didnt bother to check the link.

Was that the one with the two little surf boards stuck in little slots on the back? I had that one.

Oh, and cannibalism? CRAP

The story that reported it happening in post-Katrina New Orleans? Also CRAP

Nice! I saw the little Red Wagon in person..(?)..
I was eight years old.
Here's a Red Deora in the blister Pack. Red is a tough color for that car.

His Bio says he went to Harvard, I'm sure he's a fine journalist. I thought it was an elaborate hoax when I first read it.

I'm surprised the article is still on the Huffington Post site. There are tons of comments by readers now.

We're pretty clear on the eating bodies part being b.s. right?
