A reader sent me this story from a Florida news outlet about a candidate for the Darwin Awards who, allegedly guided by voices, climbed into a lion’s cage in a Buenos Aires zoo and tried to ‘bullfight’ with a lion [thanks, Adam]. Mucking around at the site, I got to this slideshow format which has twenty-seven ‘news’ items. Clicking from one to the next, you cannot believe you go to ever more twisted, absurd and shameful displays of folly and perfidy. I do not know if it should be taken as more of a comment on human depravity or the sorry state of what passes for news on your average local station.
