Comments on: Some Questions About the Full Face Transplant http://mockable.org/some-questions-about-the-full-face-transplant/ Your online clearinghouse for all things mockable Mon, 02 Jan 2012 14:31:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Joel Raupe http://mockable.org/some-questions-about-the-full-face-transplant/#comment-1153 Joel Raupe Mon, 01 Jun 2009 04:29:53 +0000 http://mockable.org/?p=577#comment-1153 This one had me in a state of piss shiver, remembering the "Dial-A-Curse" routine from the old National Lampoon Radio Hour (1973). "As to his or her face, suffice it to say, since it occupied the front of his or her face, it must be a face." This photograph horrified me, terribly, insensitively, for at least a day, while it seemed to pop up like those dancing Mortgage ads, on even the most prestigious websites. Gradually, however, conscientiousness kicked in with the simple, rational observation, "what must the pour soul looked like before." And, indeed, on one of the science website there was featured a literal mug shot of this ravaged individual. She was a much worse mess before this addition of a literal death mask, missing most of her nose and upper palette. I can't say whether it is a commentary on the culture or quite what, really, but I was less horrified by her original appearance than this "reconstruction." I'll leave it to others to decide what that might mean. This one had me in a state of piss shiver, remembering the “Dial-A-Curse” routine from the old National Lampoon Radio Hour (1973).

I am sure it is better than having no face at all? Hopefully she will get more adjustments to her surgery. I am sure it is better than having no face at all?

I will also mock the fact that for not finding the humor in not only this mocking, but also the Rolling Stones one, it is curious that you continue to check in on a daily basis. That, my friend, is mockable indeed. JJ, I’ll just mock the fact that not only is your mocking completely inaccurate, but it also reeks of your past childhood aspirations.

Laughing at this woman is too easy. Mocking Rolling Stone - hilarious, the futures market update, great. My point is that the bloggers on this site are much better than just making fun of individuals. Of course Melissa, we could just mock you. You probably live in a trailer with a plastic Jesus on your TV ...as you swill back a 12 pack of PBR each day. You probably lose count of the Hardee's biscuits you eat vs. sell each day ....your belly probably makes Dom Deluise look like an anorexic. His dead a week skin probably looks better than yours too. See how easy it is to mock people? Hey Melissa, I suspect you think it is funny because her face is what you see in the mirror. Laughing at this woman is too easy.

It's been a long time since I've had an opportunity to say that. Wait...was this really an opportunity? My ass — your face.

It's ok. You can now straighten your tie and go back to your cubicle....your Star Wars figurines were wondering where you ran off to.

The woman needs many more surgeries but in a few years she will look remarkably normal. I like your blog, but some things just aren't very funny ....
