  1. JasonK says:

    Great.

  2. scannerdan says:

    …because they’re dead.

  3. Arthur Eld says:

    But cooperation is so important! Break the omerta!

  4. WhoaNellie says:

    Well, that’s probably why the police take so long to respond!!

    • Avis says:

      That made me laugh, and laughing still makes me cough, damn-it!

      • WhoaNellie says:

        I sorry Avis!! 8O

        • Avis says:

          It’s my own fault for coming HERE when I’m still coughing!

          • Arthur Eld says:

            Did you try the dark chocolate trick? If so, did it help?

          • aikiwaza says:

            *offers cough drop*
            But we would miss you otherwise.

            • Avis says:

              *takes proffered cough drop*
              Thanks! For both the cough drop and the sentiment!

              • Marius says:

                Have you tried Vicks vapor rub Avis?

                • Avis says:

                  Yeah, it’s not much of a help and dear lord, does it smell bad! This trailing off period of the cough is normal for me. It sounds awful, but doesn’t hurt.

              • Sparky, Attention Whore/Wonder Dog says:

                Two words:
                Ny
                Quil

                • aikiwaza says:

                  NyQuil NyQuil NyQuil we love you, you giant F—ing Q. Big N, little Y, giant f—ing Q!

                  • Avis says:

                    I liked them BEFORE they changed the formula. The good stuff is behind the pharmacy counter these days. You don’t need a ’scrip for it, but you do have to sign for it. NyQuil changed so they could stay on the shelf. And the new formula doesn’t work as well.
                    You can thank the meth-heads for that one.

                    • WhoaNellie says:

                      Yeah, the meth-heads eliminated the antihystamine – Drixoral – that I’ve taken since I was a teenager, and which is the only thing I’ve found that actually works for me. I bought a bunch from Canada before it escalated in price due to there being a shortage – you can’t buy it anymore in the US at all.
                      I’ve got about two years of non-sneezing, non-runny eyes life, at 1/2 my usual dosage, until I have to figger out what I’m gonna do.

                      • Avis says:

                        Probably get a ’scrip for it and pay through the nose. Talk to a pharmacist they might actually be able to help. Don’t go to wallgreen’s though, every single one I’ve ever been to has had a particularly unhelpful staff. The tiny, hole in the wall, no frills pharmacy is the best place to go for that kind of info.

                        • WhoaNellie says:

                          It’s simply not available in the US. I’ve talked to numerous pharmacists, both in the US and in Canada. Schering’s website says the shortage is because they’re moving their factory. Right. it’s been in short supply for at least a year, and prior to that it had graaaaadually become harder and harder to get.
                          So it goes…

                        • Avis says:

                          I was thinking a ’scrip for something else that might work.
                          A few meth-heads had to screw it up for the rest of us. That hardly seems fair.

                        • Grumpy Curmudgeon says:

                          End Prohibition Now!
                          Just let the crack-/coke-/meth-heads have access to unrestricted quantities of low-cost dope. Then watch as the Hand of Darwin
                          improves the gene-pool.
                          Chill out as sensible people take modest quatities of soft drugs.
                          And let people suffering from a host of diseases gain relief without having to jump through ridiculous hoops.

                        • Marius says:

                          @WN:
                          Try any antihistamine with extended relief Pseudoephedrine.
                          e.g. Claritin D
                          As long as you do not have glaucoma or prostate issues.
                          OR, you could take the homeopathic route. Aura Cacia produces a line of oils that I have had good results with.
                          1 Cup boiling water
                          3 drops White Thyme
                          3 drops Clove Bud
                          3 drops Cinnamon Leaf
                          Stir and breath the vapors up to 3 times a day as needed.

                      • Sparky, Attention Whore/Wonder Dog says:

                        Yeah, you have to prop it up with other stuff now. I had a pretty bad toothache a while back and couldn’t sleep no matter what I did. I tried 2 cups of NyQuil & 3 caplets of some nightime sleep aid thing (diphenhydramine). Not sure if the NyQuil was helping, but between the 2 I was out like a light. Messed up my stomach the next morning, but at least I slept.

                        • Avis says:

                          This is why I went with Robitussin & Butalbital. Butalbital is what I take for migraines and it pretty much knocks me out. The only problem is, now that I haven’t taken it in, ohhh… about four hours, NOW I feel spacey. I walked over to my mothers apartment (one building over) and I swear a few neighbors must have thought I was drunk! No more for me today! As long as I can still breathe and not hurt at least.

                        • Marius (Nosey Parker) says:

                          If your nose and sinus bother you try the oils I mentioned to WN ^ right above us.

                        • DrB says:

                          Or some coke.

                        • DrB says:

                          Okay, that wasn’t helpful. How about a Bex and a good lie down (well that’s what mom used to say, was never sure what she meant, hmm).

  5. Avis says:

    Gee, I wonder why?

  6. papple says:

    have it!!

  7. lawspud says:

    Apparently Disney got it right on the Pirates of Caribbean ride. I always said that ride was based on a true story.

  8. JonProject says:

    No Shit

  9. CrinklySlinky says:

    They really should be more cooperative.

  10. 2nd says:

    damn nvm lol
    i thought i was

  11. Starfish says:

    Homicide victims always talk to the police on TV and in the movies.

  12. smartie says:

    i guess it must be some kind of conspiracy…

  13. Giraffie says:

    O.o

    I wonder who the other part of the ‘rarely’ are. Ghosts?

  14. hammykins says:

    The part that scares me the most is “rarely”.

  15. spinpsychle says:

    Okay, exactly where is this a news item?

    • Sonnee says:

      Get your shotguns ready..

      • 2nd says:

        yes sir!!!

        • ZombieApocalypse says:

          When it comes, all the shotguns in the world won’t help you. We have you outnumbered by a few billion to one – YOU HAVE NO CHANCE!

          • DFL says:

            I wouldn’t normal be scared of zombies, but holy crap, they learned to use computers.

            • ZombieApocalypse says:

              Just wait until we figure out how to use computers to procreate. THEN you’ll have something to fear!

          • 2nd says:

            i will accept only hot zombie not the one brain poped out

            • ZombieApocalypse says:

              Wait a sec … keep up with me here people …
              .
              I am the ZombieApocalypse. By definition I am brain dead, yet I can use punctuation, correct capitalization and complete sentences that make sense. So what does that say about 2nd here?

              LOFLS (Laying On Floor Laughing Silently)

            • DLFiend4Ever says:

              What, exactly is “poped?”

          • Grumpy Curmudgeon says:

            I hate to break it to you, but those damned naked chimps have been breeding like rabbits instead of like apes. There are so many people being born, and the rate keeps going up, that I doubt you have more than a 10-1 advantage.

            Then, throw in the fact that even most skeletones decompose after a century, and your numerical advantage shrinks still further.

            Plus, you obviously watched too many movies while you still had functioning eyeballs. The living in zombie movies tend to behave more stupidly than the dead. IRL the living tend to be smarter than the zombies, although I concede that the gap is not as big as the living might think.

            (While I may be one of the “living”, I am not strictly-speaking a human. As an anthropomorphic manifestation of ill-temper and misanthropy, I take no sides in this battle.)

  16. Sonnee says:

    Someone should do something!

  17. Qetzacoatl says:

    I thought newspapers were supposed to report the news not the obvious…

  18. Sparky, Attention Whore/Wonder Dog says:

    That’s odd; they always talk to me. All the time. I don’t see them but I hear their voices.

    • Qetzacoatl says:

      You can hear them too…? They… They lied to me, told me I was the only one who they shared their ideas with, told me I was special… Well I’ll show them!! *Runs off into the night laughing maniacally*

      • Sparky, Attention Whore/Wonder Dog says:

        Yeah, they told me the same thing. You can’t really trust what homicide victims say.

        • ZombieApocalypse says:

          Homicide victims just went through a traumatic experience and you want to critique every word they decide is important enough to utter?
          .
          And they say dead people are stupid.

    • DLFiend4Ever says:

      *tries to restrain herself*
      *fails*
      I… see… dead people!
      (Sorry, just had to do that)

  19. Gerusz says:

    Well… they talk only to coroners. And only the coroners talk to them – if we can believe to CSI: Miami :-)

  20. BAW says:

    How are they supposed to? I’ve never heard of Forensic Spiritualism.

  21. PRO-TROLL says:

    They are clearly not serious. You can see that in the first paragraph, the only legible one. This isn’t really fail, its clearly deliberate

  22. Gladiator763 says:

    But Kutner WOULD talk to them?

  23. rakacha says:

    It’s just freaking awesome.

  24. Sherm says:

    ’cause they are dead! *high five!

    • 2nd says:

      “Clap” (high five)

    • capt. awesome says:

      Don’t make excuses for those bocket-kicking, daisy-pushing, worm-feeding Nancy-boy Sissypantses. There’s no excuse for not squealing, just like there’s no excuse for squealing. You can not-squeal. You just can’t make an excuse for it.

  25. Duffy says:

    “Rarely”?? “RARELY”??!?
    Is there a percentage available?? 1 out of 1000 would still make ME quit the force.

  26. hammykins says:

    Unrelated note: The Space channel is having an all day Star Wars marathon! All 6 movies back to back! Woot!

  27. sweethooligan says:

    ok i think the question everyone is forgetting is

    WHERE’S THE PICKLE?

    wtp?

  28. Jú. says:

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, SERIOUS? OMFG!

  29. ElWray says:

    “Rarely” talk, implying that sometimes they do? – I’d love to hear the interviews when they do talk…

  30. JV says:

    This is some really great journalism…

    The victim won’t talk. That’s up to the evidence.

  31. the real fail is that it says “Rarely” meaning at some point they Do…..

  32. capt. awesome says:

    The unwritten (until now) rules for homocide victims:
    1. Don’t squeal. No matter what they ask you, how they ask you, or how many times they ask you, don’t say anything.

    2. No skeleton dancing. This isn’t the late seventies. Disco is long gone. Get over it.

    3. Rot. Rot like there’s no tomorrow.

    4. Don’t discuss Horus’s relationship with Set to Anpu. Anpu already knows. He just doesn’t need to be reminded.

  33. papajon says:

    Back when I was a homicide victim I told the police everything.

  34. mdub says:

    I’d say it’s a win for those rare ones who DO talk to police.

  35. austin says:

    That isn’t always true… cops all have psychics right?

  36. Mouserz says:

    Haha this reminds me of that Monty Python sketch about if there’s an afterlife.

  37. Jim says:

    Should be “americans understanding sarcasm fail”

  38. Strategist says:

    If I rarely talk to the police, does that make me a homicide victim? Or anti sociable? I wonder if there’s anything that will bring some entertainment into my life! OOOH, potatoes and bacon! I wonder what I can do with these…anyone willing to help my try out my ideas?

  39. adam says:

    no, really?

  40. Jony says:

    actually, the is a use-less headline fail.
    Dumb Strikes. Food = Chairs.

  41. Garrett says:

    lol, I saw this on Jay Leno

  42. Jrg320 says:

    this is from a segment of headlines from the tonight show with leno.

  43. prx says:

    it’s true i’ve never pay atention for this… but isn’t only the police, they stop to talk to everyone ahsuhuhsuahsuhauhsuahsuhauhs
    fortunately i don’t know anyone whos is a homicid victim…
    i swear i’ll start to look this fate in focus

  44. veruz11 says:

    i wonder why they don’t collaborate… -.-

  45. BicyclesTheImpossible says:

    i talk to dead people all the time… you can learn a lot from “victims”!!!

  46. Nerfy says:

    Victims; aren’t we all?

  47. Edward says:

    Im curious as to how they intend a homicide VICTIM to talk to police?

  48. Emperor says:

    Thanks for stating the obvious.

  49. Zraphter says:

    Thank you for saying ur welcome =)

  50. dingo says:

    And why should we trust homicide victims in the first place? They rarely pay their taxes and almost never vote. I’ve seen many fail to even feed their pets.

    • BicyclesTheImpossible says:

      “almost never vote”!!! take an anthropology course in school and be damned if you ever make that assumption again… dead people vote all the time… otherwise nothing makes sense… especially me!!! but, i don’t vote, mind you…

    • BicyclesTheImpossible says:

      though i will agree with you on the “feed their pets” issue… my friends starve for the simple fact that the joints ache too much to move mostly… but starvation is a key element in the entertainment industry…

  51. jim says:

    I wonder why…

  52. muxecoid says:

    Necromancy fail?

  53. Stevie Janowski says:

    rarely… as in sometimes they do talk?

  54. carbon says:

    I saw “Express-Times” on the article, and immediately thought “There is no way this could have been in my local paper.”

    Sadly, it was. Anyone got the date on the clipping? Its so fuzzed out I can’t see it. :\

  55. Alan says:

    This looks like more of an april fools win than a headline fail

  56. Cattooth says:

    Actually reminds me of a story I read in the newspaper not so long ago, a man was stabbed and beaten and managed to give his killer’s name to the police before dying… on the street…
    I would of saved the interrogation until after the ambulance arrived.

  57. apaskov says:

    Nice post. It’s helpful. I will be back for more.
    Sincerely,Alain Power
    Job offers Canada

  58. gwenhwyfaer says:

    Well, you wouldn’t, would you? Even if you can remember it, it’s going to be a touchy subject; you’re not going to want to relive it (so to speak) over and over again.

  59. forscore says:

    My local paper. A horrible paper.

  60. Kuwarudo says:

    Of course they can’t talk to the police, they’re too busy dying.

  61. Matt Sturgeon says:

    last time i was murdered i told the police.

  62. invertedcontinuum says:

    “Homicide Victims Rarely Talk to Police”

    hmmmm…….. one would hope so.

  63. TheUnclean says:

    pft, just give super ultra (douche) psychic john edwards a call and he can talk them for the cops

  64. Anti-Ignorant says:

    won’t they be dead by then?

  65. Nate says:

    That’s a shame. It would be so helpful if they’d be more cooperative.

  66. Squintz says:

    I’d HOPE they never talk to police, cause then that would indicate a zombie outbreak….

  67. definite_anonymous says:

    …and the ones that do talk are promptly stabbed with a crucifix.

  68. Branman275 says:

    This was on Leno…

  69. tdwprulezd00d says:

    i wonder why..they should speak up so all the crimes can be solved!!!

    ahahaha

  70. Danilo G says:

    WHUUAATT!??!!! :-o THEY DONT?!
    Dammit thats just such a shame..

  71. MEOW says:

    REALLY? ur kidding!
