Our good friend Emre Kızılkaya posted this awesome photo yesterday of a message written on a rock cliff in Antalya (probably). The text reads, “committing suicide is dangerous and forbidden.” Fantastic. Emre goes on to point out that this is typical of the Mediterranean sense of humour.
But if you’d like just to accept the joke and go on your merry way, I’d advise you to stop reading at the end of Emre’s post and not continue on to the comments. It always amazes me how keen readers are to take even the most lighthearted blog post and turn it into a serious discussion or argument of some sort. It seems like people expect a serious blog to be serious 100% of the time, even if they have to force it to be so. It makes a stark change from the sort of comments people make on this blog (which is how I like it— please make sure all comments here are of the “me like blog, I has a cheeseburger” variety. We don’t take kindly to no brainiacs here). Link
Ooooh! They really didn’t see the funny side did they.

@David: every once in a while we get the Serious Brigade over here, too, but thankfully not very much. This blog is my escape from all that, and if it got too heavy I’d probably abandon it.

@Emre: I enjoy your light/funny posts the most; it seems most of your readers would disagree. If you sent them over here they’d probably implode from confusion. 😀
