The Stevie of Death
 

Remember that "tourist of death" photo that made the rounds after September 11th? As soon as everyone realized it was a fake, thousands of edited photos of the Tourist in compromising situations appeared on the internet. He was like the new Kilroy for a few months.

But did anyone do a Stevie of Death? Well, I have.

Oh, the humanity!

That third one and the last one are hysterical. Great idea!

lol :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

This is hysterical.

I don't like it. :wavey:

I thought I WOULDN"T like it, but they're very silly...Python-esque. I'm still giggling at the last one. THanks.

I agree. Totally perfectly placed.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

ROTFLMAOAW!

That last one is killing me! :laugh:

I really think you're some kind of evil genius or something. :lol: :laugh: :lol: :laugh: :lol:

This so damned funny.

But wait, there's more!

I just made this one my new background at work.

These are GREAT!! Like she'd just happen to have a mic stand or tambo on the middle of the street after killing ppl! Classic...

I am a child.
I find them offensive. :lol:

That's our Stevie. Glamorous and fabulous in the face of complete disaster...

Love you, mate!

Three more for old time's sake:

keep that up, and stevie'll take back her pain-relieving glitter. :laugh:

What the hell is that thing ? A giant lobster claw ?

This is the most fun I've had on here ever!!!

I CAN'T WAIT for these to go too far!!

Can you do a King Kong/Faye Wray type one? or maybe Godzilla and Rodan? How about a Stand Back High Kick and Bruce Lee? Titanic and that one where she throws her head way back.

heehee.... :thumbsup:

As much pain as I am in I would glady suffer...um one more day than view beautiful stevie next to people being blown to bits...I guess it is hard for me to laugh out loud at the tragedies displayed. :shrug: I will get over it for all of your viewing pleasures.

I have to say I agree with you. The picture of the woman pushing the baby through the flood in the stroller, and the photo of JFK just before he got his head blown off especially made me cringe. Though some of the photo's like the one with the weird thing coming out of the volcano are funny, the others that show real tragedies that occured, however long ago, are about as funny as the original mentioned photo of the tourist on top of the trade center tower with the plane superimposed behind him. :distress:

This thread is totally freaking me out...I keep reading 'the Death of Stevie'. :eek:

lol, i liket his one coz it filts in the pic so well

Oh brother Stevie really needs to do something musically creative again so we can find something else to get excited about around here .

Disaster was the only thing...
 

..that I could depend on...

here, i made one too:

I don't think anyone is making light of the tragedies that occured, we're just laughing at the absurdity of seeing classic Stevie poses incorporated into these situations.

With all of the madness that goes on around us on a daily basis, sometimes finding something to laugh at amongst all that trauma is the only way to cope.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Brilliant.

OH. MY. GOD.

I am dying over here! The JFK one had me on the floor - not becuase I know in seconds he'll be shot - but the Stevie...oh my god. :laugh:

I love this kind of **** because it's just well...it's just funny.

These remind of Bert is evil - have you seen that website? It does something similar putting Bert (of Enrie and Bert fame) at the site of evil doings etc....

This is way better though...*wipes away tears of laughter*

But how can you do that without making light of the situation? I imagine someone who had lost a family member or a home in the photo of the flood probably wouldn't find it humerous. Especially in light of the events of Katrina. Sure it's silly looking, but again, I think to use real events that had a profound effect on someone is disrespectful to the people who lived through them, or the memories of the people who were lost in them. What's next, Stevie on the docks of Pearl Harbor during the attack, or perhaps banging her tamborine in line at Auschwitz? It's just not the kind of thing I would laugh at personally, but everyone has a different sense of humor. I just wanted to let BTFLCHLD know I was thinking the same thing.

^^^^

we're not laughing at the tragedy, we're laughing at the absurdity of the Stevie placements.
But, it's just you and BTFLCHLD, so hopefully two people's opinion won't stop further hilarious pictures from ensuing. And I mean, hilarious.

That Pearl Harbor one is kind of a good idea, who's going to get on that? Too bad there are no pics of the Titanic going down...

Wouldn't it be horrible if somebody made a movie or image that spat in the face of a horrible tragedy like Pearl Harbor. I can't imagine how many people that would piss off.

Oh wait. Nevermind. :rolleyes:

I didn't say people were laughing at the tragedy, but to use it in this way diminishes their seriousness especially to people who were effected by them. It doesn't bother me if it continues. There are lots of things I don't like, and I'm not egotistical enough to think that me saying I don't like them will get them to stop. Having said that, just because 2 people commented unfaforably about the contents of the thread doesn't mean everyone on the boards loves it. It just means 2 out of the several people posting and commenting in this paticular thread don't. Oh, and it would be easy enough for you to get a photo of Pearl Harbor being bombed, but honestly I think that would be more to get a rise than to be funny. Especially seeing how Stevie feels about vetrans. You'd end up on her Sh**t list for sure. :laugh:

Now, who was it that mentioned the King Kong and Godzilla one, because THAT would be funny.

Disaster was the only thing...
 

..I could depend on

Actually hilarity and what is or is not hilarious is completely and totally subjective. So what one finds hilarious another may not and that's just what makes the world go round.

If they images offend - then one has the option of not looking at them.

It's clear that many of us share a demented sort of sense of humor - and the Stevie of Death images are not meant to be disrespectful - but I can understand why some would find them to be so.

Really there is no easy answer here...except to just not partake in the action if you find this sort of thing unsavory :shrug:

Yeah, I read what you said before. :wavey: Oh, and if Stevie ever sees this, ie, no way, i'd happily go on her sh*t list for laughing at that. Although, I think she might laugh as well.

Personally, I find this idea funny. It's twisted, it's the melding of incommensurates, it's gallows humor. I don't want to offend the people who are uncomfortable with it & who feel it is disrespectful to the dead.
