I'm sure you will continue to post these, and I'm sure I'll have to put you on ignore. I'm sorry, but I find this a little sick.

I'm guessing you don't watch Ridiculousness or subscribe to All Fails on YouTube or watch any of the Send It clips on Instagram.
Do I want to see someone get hurt in a horrific car accident? of course not...
Do I laugh out loud when a drunk person falls off a balcony, flattens a card table, rolls off the end and slides down into a swimming pool? Heck yes I do!!!
I have several channels I watch daily for that humor.. (like the small kids above.. that made me chuckle..) Does that make me sadistic? Geez.. I have empathy for a lot of those video clips, but most of them are still pretty darn funny..
and my mandatory pic..
