Dumb Ways to Die

[JesusA (imported)]

An animated public service announcement from Metro Trains Melbourne. The lyrics are good; the animation is better. The first verse and chorus run:

Set fire to your hair

Poke a stick at a grizzly bear

Eat medicine that's out of date

Use your private parts as piranha bait

Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die, dumb ways to di-i-i-ie, so many dumb ways to die

I pointed this out to Paolo the other day.

We thought there should be an EA Thread version. "Dumb Ways to Get Banned" ...or maybe "Dumb ways to Band" if you're into that sort of thing.

There is also a "Real Life" version someone put together. Scarry stuff!

Isn't there an obscure book out somewhere on how poets die - like falling in the loo and drowning?

When I first saw this thread it read

"Dumb Ways To Die by Jesus" truly.

Go figure. I tried.

Do you think we should slice them horizontally or vertically? Or, should we just bite off their heads as we ban them? The public service announcement suggests wonderful possibilities that we might imagine for a few spammers here....

I think I pretty much cut New Zealand in half a few years back?

Yeah I got a lot of bitching about that one!

Norway or Sweeden also comes to mind, I seem to remember something about banning you and your whole f.......... country. Of course I am much older now, not as old as MacWolf but my memory is not what it once was.

I remember that one (even though I'm much older than River, or even of MacWolf). Paolo chopped off the entire northern half of New Zealand. I guess that qualifies as a horizontal slice???

There are many ways to cut things, I just cut this section by 25%. I am so proud of myself.
