Chinese man eaten by zoo tiger (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080404/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_china_tiger;_ylt=AlnbFe_beaP_3p1TM.YPYMjt iBIF)

BEIJING (Reuters) - A tiger devoured a mentally ill man who entered the animal's zoo cage in northeast China, local media reported on Friday.

Zhang Yachun disappeared from his home in Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang province, on March 24 and five days later police told his parents he had been eaten by a tiger in a nearby zoo, the China news service reported, citing a Harbin newspaper.

"Only two legs and his skull were left," the report said.

Zhang's grieving parents said their 37-year-old son suffered mental illness and "especially loved tigers".Yeah, I'm thinking you should encourage mentally ill people to like more benign things, like cats or dogs.

Well, the tiger had some left over legs, so...

Do what the buffet places here do: First day, fried. Second day leftovers: put some sauce on them and sell it as BBQ. Third day leftovers: cut it up and serve it with vegetables and call it General Wong's Surprise. Fourth day: I don't want to know, probably soup.

Mental illness isn't funny.

Tourette's syndrome at a baseball game, that's pretty funny :laugh:

Please don't speak to us about being PC or moral, because you would like the pot calling the kettle black.


All hail SomissTV, the moral beacon....the all mighty Politically Correct Compass of Myhattiesburg.

"Only two legs and his skull were left," the report said.They say that like there might have been three or four legs left over.

[SoMissTV]

Let's have a little respect for the dead.

I knew Zhang Yachun, and I hope you all feel like crap now!

SoMiss has a point (I must be tired and/or on crack)....We blast him for making fun of Chuck Heston, but we can laugh at a mentally ill guy getting eaten by a tiger? Come On! Personally, I think both stories are funny....

[betsy]

Personally, I think both stories are very sad. But, everyone has a right to their own opinion and we won't always agree.

[EricStratton]

I should clarify, betsy, that I don't think it's funny when anyone dies, but I thought both SoMiss and wilebill's original comments regarding the respective stories were clever and entertaining....

I guess this guy didn't hear the Chris Rock bit about Roy and his tiger.

OMG you mocked the dead! Our Purity Police headed by Somisstv will soon groan you! watch out! :ohnoes: :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

It's been my experience that the most vocal PC patrolmen have 9 year old sex slaves locked in their closets along with other nasty lil tidbits. Real Gein/Dahmer type characters. Maybe someone should illegally search SoMiss' residence. They might find some pickled kids' feet in the cabinets.

If so, drop off a couple jars by the house. You don't really need them all for evidence.

Heston died of old age while battling a debilitating disease. This guy walked into a tiger pen and got himself eaten.
I find much humor in the second story.

Both had a mental illness. Alzheimer disease isn't excactly "dying of natural causes" and I don't understand why one person is thought to have heroically "battled a debilitating disease" while the other is considered "a kook".

And we have no idea what mental disease the chinese guy suffered from. For all we know he was just O.C.D.
As for what Heston died of. They haven't released this cause. Everybody is assuming it was Alzheimer's simply because he had it.
