Seriously, that's not funny. At least, not in the way you did it.

Nice for the folks that benefit from this and were hurt by it, though.

Meh, I already saw it on Fox earlier. I thought it was kind of funny.

Ah, but what does the eponymous terrorist think of this?

Yeah, ok that was weird, how about mentioning that it's not the person? I was hoping it was. BAH.

Yes, I'm glad the title was edited. This is funny, but it wasn't funny to find this out the way we did.

Guys, chill out. It's a just a joke. Seven of Nine was not the first to do it. I saw this on Yahoo News and it was marketed the same way. It's an attention grabber....

Anyways, on topic, I had no idea that elephants can be so...violent. They're always depicted as so peaceful and slow. I guess not...

Yahoo was wrong to do it as well. That isn't something you should joke about, not in the least. That said, you're right. It's time to move on from that, so okay.

I didn't realize elephants could be so violent either. It's quite intriguing.
