Man Steals Virgin Mary Painting to Pay for Abortion

[brettdale]

Real headline on fox news.

[saltpoint]

1. Impressive.

I'm thinking the Vatican wouldn't like this all that much.

[NYC_SKP]

3. Fox headline: ObamaCare Forces Man To Steal Virgin Mary Painting to Pay for Abortion...

as a Tribute to Grandma Before Plug Gets Pulled.

You know, if you can spin some Obama Drama into it, all the better.

Fuckers.

[saltpoint]

8. Your response has brains and wit and context, and if anything,

lurkers from FOX are kicking themselves for not thinking of it first.

You're right -- they're doing the Blame Obama thing with everything they got.

[no bad days]

10. I mean..

Really, this guy steals a painting of the virgin mary to pay for an abortion for a teen he raped...and I think I read he was an illegal alien to....so why would any right wing host really need to add anything to that?

[Maru Kitteh]

18. I suppose you assume he was an "illegal alien" because of his name?

You seem to use a lot of FOX news style terminology.

[no bad days]

41. Oh brother.............

I simply stated that I had read that (In an AP story I believe) that he was an illegal. I did not state that he was an illegal. I remember a time that I could have a civil conversation with fellow Democrats and not be accused of being some sort of right wing nut every time I made a minor point that did not follow party lines. In this case the only point I was attempting to make was that the story was bad enough without the fox crowd having to add anything, so why did they?

[Mojambo]

2. ROTFLMAO

If you're gonna do it, do it with style.

[GodlyDemocrat]

15. Yeah, rape of a 14 year old girl and then stealing a $100,000 painting is so fucking hilarious

:eyes:

[Mojambo]

17. I wasn't aware of the rape when I posted.

You'll note there was nothing mentioned about a rape in the OP that I was responding to.

So please don't fucking insinuate that I find anything funny about a rape.

But I do think stealing a $100,000 painting is still funny.

[GodlyDemocrat]

19. I find nothing funny about rape, kidnapping, and trying to force an abortion

While perhaps the least severe, neither is stealing a 300 year old painting from a Cathedral just to get $3,000. The painting was never recovered.

The OP should have googled what the actual story was before posting this.

[polmaven]

29. No one here finds any of those funny!

The hypocrisy of the act is what was amusing......Please stop insinuating that people here are not as moral as yourself.

[ieoeja]

32. You must be real fun at parties.

:eyeroll:

[timtom]

25. Then you must have died laughing

at U. S. personnel looting Baghdad's national museum...

[Mojambo]

26. Oh ferchrissakes.

It was a funny fucking headline.

Get over it already.

[timtom]

27. Geez! Sensitive??

I was just pulling your leg.

Seriously.

[Regret My New Name]

35. I think the problem is that it's hard to tell sarcasm online...

even more so in a place like DU that has so many people. In smaller communities people tend to learn the personality of others quicker, but it's harder to do when there are thousands of people posting... Not to mention, with those thousands of people, there are bound to be some who are bit out of touch and totally unreasonable (I know I've seen a few here and there)

[timtom]

40. And I'm really bad

about not using the sarcasm tag.

[rcrush]

4. Hey man

Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.

[rcrush]

5. I stole the Mona Lisa to pay for my grandmothers euthanasia!

I mean how else was I gonna kill grandma?

6. There is more to the story... He wanted to finance an abortion for a teen he raped - link

Neb. Man Steals Virgin Mary Painting For Abortion
Aurelio Vallerillo-Sanchez, 39, Wanted To Use Money For Teen He Raped

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) ― A Nebraska man who stole a painting of the Virgin Mary to finance an abortion for a teen he raped has been convicted of first-degree sexual assault and felony theft.

Aurelio Vallerillo-Sanchez, 39, of Omaha pleaded no contest to the charges Friday and faces up to 70 years in prison when sentenced in October, Douglas County prosecutor Brenda Beadle said Saturday.

snip...
Beadle said Vallerillo-Sanchez fled to Mexico with the 300-year-old painting worth $100,000 and the pregnant teen in March 2007.

"The plan was that when they got to Mexico, she was to undergo an abortion," she said.

When an abortion wasn't possible, Vallerillo-Sanchez pushed to have the baby given up for adoption, Beadle said: "He wanted to do everything he could to get rid of this baby 'cause it was evidence against him."

11. .

:)

:hi:

[rucky]

12. It's a trifecta!

Theft, sacrilege & abortion.

[XemaSab]

13. I saw this headline yesterday

and while it's certainly a horrible crime, DAMN that made me laugh.

Then I felt guilty for laughing.

Then I laughed some more.

Then I felt guilty again.

[deep1]

14. Interesting and ironic............

Immaculate conception---giver of life



vs.



killing a life


Hmmmmmmmmmmm

[armyowalgreens]

16. Well we're all going to hell for laughing at this one...

I'll bring the drinks.

[GodlyDemocrat]

20. Yes, laughing at child rape, kidnapping, and trying to force an abortion may get you to hell.

OMAHA, Neb. — A Nebraska man who stole a painting of the Virgin Mary to finance an abortion for a teen he raped has been convicted of first-degree sexual assault and felony theft.

Aurelio Vallerillo-Sanchez, 39, of Omaha pleaded no contest to the charges Friday and faces up to 70 years in prison when sentenced in October, Douglas County prosecutor Brenda Beadle said Saturday.

A call to the county public defender representing Vallerillo-Sanchez wasn't answered Saturday.

Beadle said Vallerillo-Sanchez fled to Mexico with the 300-year-old painting worth $100,000 and the pregnant teen in March 2007.

"The plan was that when they got to Mexico, she was to undergo an abortion," she said.

[armyowalgreens]

22. Hey I had no clue this story dealt with rape and kidnapping...

The OP never mentioned that.

[Cali_Democrat]

24. Hell does not exist.

And right now I'm laughing my ass off at that headline.

:rofl:

Edit for link...

28. Ooooh, very scary!

Please, please don't send me to HELL, Mr. Godly. :scared:



:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[GodlyDemocrat]

30. You believe that joking about this story is cool?

I'm not sending you anywhere, but you have to be a sick excuse of a human being to still find humor in this story after finding out what it is.

[Dogtown]

31. I find humor

in your nannified over-reaction.

If there was no mention of an icon in the OP, you'd never had read the thread.

[Regret My New Name]

36. I'm not buying the persons over-reaction...

[Dogtown]

39. Nope

Pure histrionics masking (thinly) an agenda.

[Warren DeMontague]

33. It's a fucked up story with an extremely ironic twist.

Laughing at rape victims- no, not funny. Laughing at the Vatican's balls-to-the-wall hypocrisy on social issues? You bet your bippy.

[walldude]

38. You have to be a sick excuse for a human being to sit in judgement

of people when it is obvious that they are laughing at the irony of the headline. Considering the OP had no mention of any rape and removing any mention of rape makes the headline hilarious to all except the overly religious and humor impaired. I know a doctor who specializes in removing bugs from peoples asses. Want his number?

[sabrina 1]

21. That is one of the funniest headlines I've ever read.

I know the story isn't funny but I can't stop laughing every time I read that headline. I just told a friend about it and I felt a bit less guilty when she had the same reaction.

[Mojambo]

23. Watch out. The humor police are on the prowl.

It's a goddamn funny headline and it's okay to laugh at it.

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

34. LOL, me too... the irony. (n/t)

[Blue_Tires]

37. wow...even the Onion was never that witty....
