If This Turns Out To Be Fake, I Will Take It Down

Why I am pissy on a Sunday, my favorite day of the week.  I can't get a "real" news source, but for all I know this is so not newsworthy, that is was not "investigated" or "reported" by anyone "legitimate."  In any case, I'm sure it's anecdotally true, over and over and over.

I'm trying to think of things that compare on the "lost faith in humanity" spectrum. So far I have:

- Snatching a litter of kittens away in the act of nursing on their mother's teats, decapitating them, then using the dead heads on a website that fetishizes crushing kitten skulls with stiletto heels. Throwing the leftover kitten bodies out the window to rot because you can't be bothered to even properly dispose of them in a plastic container for bio-hazard safety reasons.

- Buying enough string lights to do up the entire Redwood Forest for a holiday (let's say 4th of July). Using a metric ton of energy to keep them running all day, but it's OK because it's kind of nice and a testament to human accomplishment and nature all at the same time. Then, surprise! The lights are secretly explosives rigged to burn the whole forest down just for the giggles of everyone's extended, abhorrent, speechless stares.

- Renting a wrecking ball to demolish a condemned building. Then "accidentally" swinging it into an art gallery that happens to be next door. The punchline is that the artwork has already been stolen, and will be up for auction on Ebay the next day. Give the artists, their friends, and their families a few days to come to terms with what happened, then send them links to the auctions with the subject line, "LOL!"

Other comparisons welcome. I must go drink myself into a stupor now.
