    Legit LOLed at this bit:

    Also, anyone notice that this took place in Roanoke, VA? Where they’re especially known for gorilla attacks?

      General Electric used to have a big factory in Roanoke, so I’m guessing the gorillas are a result of industrial pollution from some sort of superfund site that has yet to be cleaned up.

      Maybe people who don’t like “wait for it”, “read the whole thing”, or “watch to the end”.

      Don’t tell me to do it, tell me why I should do it.

      People are probably downvoting it because I posted it. 🙄

      Some very pathetic person goes through my history regularly and downvotes everything.

        Well I see you post regularly, and am always grateful for the white-hot memes, shitpost, and factoids! Ty you flying horror. Seriously though squids are gross.

        On reddit I used to downvote a popular poster because they were dominating the space. Not sure that was the right thing to do but don’t take it personal, just keep on doing your thing.

    I don’t get it, is it just funny because gorilla or is there a correlation to some illness?

      This is every cancer victim news story (at least in the US), just with gorilla-related stuff substituted in.

    Wow, this one brought back memories. I think at the time I considered having a David Seaborne Foundation Fun-Run for the Cure t-shirt made.

      Don’t victim-blame. Someone you love could be afflicted with the heartbreak of gorilla attacks.

      With what? and where? A silverback gorilla is no joke, David would need a shotgun and a will of steel to properly aim and fire at a 400lb monster trying to kill him.
