Don't feel too guilty. We live in a world that can be cruel, overwhelming and unkind at the best of times - and sometimes the best way to cope is to make light of the situation. Plus, research has found that those with a penchant for dark humor are more intelligent than people who prefer their jokes timid and safe.

PETA is so full of bullshiat I think they are friends with a whole dairy herd and keep them in their living room.
I remember that second van! Remember kids, strangers have the best sweets!
Just as it should be. The womenfolk carrying out the domestic duties whilst watching in awe at the tactical genius of the superior males. Now if you will excuse me for a moment I am just being physically beaten by the feminists.
The British comedian and writer Ben Elton wrote a play about this scenario, it's called "Gasping".
And this the legend was born and people throughout the land did rejoice!
Please take longer than a moment of silence for all those working in hotel housekeeping. I honestly can't imagine all the disgusting things they have to deal with.
I remember when I first shaved my head, people at school asked me if I had cancer and they couldn't understand that I just did it because I liked it.
The US does not have a President, we have a rotting vegetable stinking up the Oval Office. The question is Why does anyone listen to it?
For a minute, it looked like the elves had kidnapped Steve Harvey. If so, they should know that they're going to have to pay his family quite a bit to get them to take Steve back.

I know it's not relevant but that wheelchair looks a bit spectacular - I'd love to see the whole chair.
I used to get upset that Clifford the Big Red Dog changed size picture to picture. Sometimes he was as a big as a house, other times about the size of a car. Now I realize it was just a fun series of books for kids, not a scientific treatise.
It was more awkward when they saw him trying to do the same to the bull.
I'm always nice at first, then I will treat you just like you treat me.
Some kind of monkey business going on here. (Yes, I know chimps are apes, but work with me a little here, people.)
I support you through your monthly pain, I stand with you women of BP.
More like pastor of a church counting the weekly collection to see if he can afford that new Lexus.
Yes, please! I'd rather explore than be just an object to fantasize about.
The last few weren't at all funny. Dark humor is humor first, not awful comments
My best dark joke was shortly after losing my grandmother, my best friend at the time was sitting next to me in paleontology class when the teacher said we'd learn about cladistics, aka "putting the living in boxes". That lil moron started chuckling and finally said "like your grandma". I laughed so hard then, and it still makes me chuckle now. (My grandmother would have laughed too)
