What Ic said... but then, I'm not in a frame of mind that's really allowing me to appreciate sudden, unexpected deaths of other people. Posts: 7877 | Registered: Feb 2003

It's more of an 'ironic' funny--humans kill off thousands of turkeys every holiday season, and this time it's as if the turkeys have had enough.
On a side note--turkeys are quite possibly the stupidest animals on the face of the earth: hundreds die each year from drowning in the rain (they look up at the rain with their mouths open)

Mayday is right, it's the irony that makes it funny. Nobody laughs about those people getting killed, but I can totally see someone laughing about the way it all happened.
This is like one time that our 'Communication' teacher showed us a commercial featuring French bald football players: you would get the view of a hairless haid from above, then the image rotated until you saw the face of the player and it would say: 60 mil. fans. Then, at the end, when it rotated there was the face of some guy nobody knew. And then they write: '<Name>: cancer patient. How many fans?' Almost all of the guys laughed while none of the girls did and the teacher was outraged. We explained to her that we're laughing because of the unexpected ending of the commercial, not because the guy had cancer!!! It was just an instant (and I'd say normal) reaction to the surprize! I'm still not sure if the producers hadn't actually thought of that possible reaction or even counted on it in order to make the commercial more memorable - it IS the only commercial I remember from all those that were presented, and this was 3 years ago!
