The Funniest Thing I Have Ever Read In My Entire Life

[Strike For The South]

For days, Mumpy would listen quietly as the elders discussed how only an eye surgery could save her father's vision and a kidney transplant her brother's life. But both surgeries were beyond the family's meagre means. So, Mumpy hit upon a plan, which to her 12-year-old mind seemed the answer to all troubles. She would kill herself, which would save the dowry, too, and her organs would give her loved ones back their lives.Mumpy did stick to her plan. But the suicide note in which she had scribbled down her wishes was found the day after she was cremated.

Granted it's sad to but only because her dowry went into her decison making

Everything else is grade a comedy

[Major Robert Dump]

Yes this would only be funnier if they all died of AIDS, too

[Tuuvi]

Wow, I admire her selflessness.

[Louis VI the Fat]

Oh my....goodness...that was so sad and beautiful and tragic...




This is not a laughing matter, Strike. What this is, is the internet doing its evil work of destroying empathy: http://articles.cnn.com/2011-02-18/o...?_s=PM:OPINION


Back to the Middle Ages, we are. The entire village laughing at the silly faces some pauper pulls as he is disemboweled on market square. That is the internet, YouTube, 'fun sites'. That's what Break.com is about, videos of people breaking their collar bone, presented for amusement, the viewer having a quick laugh before he gets his half a sentence comment in, and on to the next internet sensation.

I have plenty of empathy

Just none for a society which imposes second class citizenship on their women

A boy would never have the same thought process in India, The two handicapped women would simply die

And of course the poison she took probably rendered heard kidneys useless. Kids these days always about the instant gratafacation

So you think that the 12 year old girl killed herself because she was oppressed and not because she loved her father and brother?
This is not funny.
It is sad and touching.

Well no, it is not that simple. But the fact a dowry was even mentioned is mind bowling

Becuase remember kids, women are a burden

I would say the culture she was conditioned in had allot to do with it.

But other than that it has the trappings of a sketch

[Samurai Waki]

Nope, I'm pretty sure this have everything to do with India still treating it's women as second class citizens-- otherwise one of the healthier elders would do the honor instead of bucking the responsibility on a 12 year old girl. Cowardly for the father and brother, selfless for the girl.

If that's the case, then it makes the story even more tragic, because it means the girl was a victim of her culture. Not really something to laugh about.

And seeing how she was 12 years old, you can't blame her for not thinking clearly. Whether her actions were influenced by the chauvinism of her culture or not, her motives were selfless all the same.
