In an article posted to rec.humor, (Oh what a silly oaf) writes, in response
to someone else's suggestion:

>>  "Dog-standing" is an obscure sport practiced in Appalachia.  When you

...
>    Foo!

>    Then watch people go apeshit ... 

Excuse me ... I know it is customary to "really let loose" with weird ideas 
in the rec.humor newsgroup and I know that alot of people are into practical 
jokes and I know that most readers look at stuff like the above and just figure 
that whoever wrote it is bullshitting, and I know that you're not supposed
to take things like this seriously and get all bent out of shape about them
but I dunno, *I* sure don't find anything even remotely humorous in the
above ...

... the cut-out-cat-with-aluminium-foil-eyes was "cute" if you like that kind
of thing but this is too much ... I don't mean to sound like I'm dripping with
overly-sensitive sentiment but honestly, somewhere out there might be a kid -- 
Billy, and his dad, out looking for Lucky their pet dog who has grown up with 
Billy and been a long-time friend to the family ... Imagine the kid's horror 
when they find their dog nailed to the road??? I could just imagine my own 
horror at finding one of our fellow earthling creatures -- dead or not, 
treated like this for the sake of a good laugh .... how nauseating ...

Some people got no respect.
