I’m writing hard and have no neurons to spare after I exhausted them one my Ecklund post this morning. So let’s have some fun. First, a contribution by a puckish reader, who has embellished Courtney Love’s diagram of the Malaysian Airline crash:
See what you started, Matthew?

hahahahaha! 🙂
Ha ha. Also a jesus and maybe the Virgin Mary.
That was a genuine mega-LOL.

Do I also see a perfect banana?
There are perfect bananas, then there are bananas that need to go into banana bread or smoothies.
heh
Hilarious! And just in time. I was in need of some comedy.
I don’t see the damn nightjar! (crack me up)
I don’t either…dammit! 🙁
Where is Sumatra?
Journalist: Why don’t you search for wreckage in the mountain jungles and volcano region of north Sumatra?
Search Coordinator: Search ships can’t travel over land, stupid. Next question?
Seriously, search areas cover both sides of Sumatra but no sign of searches there. Of course, > 95% of the search region is water. Specialists may consider the possibility of MH370 crashing on an island to be statistically improbable.
The Ark ended up on a mountain top;-))
.. and was never found either …
QED…
I thought it’d been found several times.
And I’ve got a piece of it..or is it a piece of the original cross?
Funny!
Lol!
You’re all wrong.
This is a naked woman painted to look like an oil slick, downed plane, and nightjar, all adrift at sea.
Now that you mention it!!!

If you stare at it long enough FSM appears.
Yes, His Noodly Appendages are all over.

I can see the joke, but the death of several hundred people isn’t a laughing matter, and I hope that on reflection you’ll think so too.
I think we all can.
Courtney Love on the other hand might be worth a smile and maybe that’s what we’re doing… at least I fail to see any jokes made about the lives of the people involved.
Can you point one out?
At the risk of being pedantic, ‘nightjar’ superimposed on a photograph which purports to show the wreck of an aircraft containing a couple of hundred corpses.
Yes, you are pedantic, and priggishly obsessed with tone as well. If you find this post too offensive, I suggest you hie yourself to other websites that won’t trigger you.
Granted, if that turns out to be what we’re looking at then I’d have rather bad taste in my mouth.
So far, though, we’re looking at water and chuckling a bit because of a running nightjar-joke and Courtney Love.
Yes, it’s a tragedy, but who’s laughing at that?
The guys in Matthew’s head.
Actually, is sounds like you can’t see the joke, which isn’t about dead people. It is about credulous people.
I doubt anyone here reflects, in a pejorative manner, upon this likely tragedy. Certainly the interest here is primarily inspired by the curiosity that emerges as a result of pedestrians getting involved in a rather serious effort.
Uri Geller’s “services” as a location finder for the Malaysian Air flight was a recent topic post on WEIT, and ridiculed appropriately. Courtney ‘Out There’ Love’s assessment and diagram, imo sincere if hopelessly naive, comically appears on the heels of the Geller announcement. Extra laughs ensue when it is contrasted with “Spot the Nightjar in the Photo,” a frequent feature on this site. It is these three things combined that regular site visitors find funny. Your Tone Troll card is mis-played, and must be slipped back into the deck. No loss of turn, though.
What she been smoking to easy right, we all no she has.
Reblogged this on Mark Solock Blog.
At least aliens probably aren’t involved somehow with the missing aircraft. This time.
‘In an interview with New York Magazine, (Courtney) Love explained, “Yeah I went to the satellite site and just uploaded tons and tons of pictures. I really doubt aliens took it. It’s got to be somewhere. I’m a little obsessive.” ‘
Phew – I really thought it was aliens until Courtney set me straight – LOL
All I can see is plankton & algae!
That’s not an oil slick, that’s the top of the sunken city of R’lyeh.
