Yeah he moved a barbecue or fire-pit under the mass of bees on the swing-set and filled it with fire.
He also threw a car axle at the top bar of the swingset and there is a perfectly timed picture of the ball of bees in free fall and the guy in the background running away.

And by "filled it with fire" you mean "threw paint thinner and gasoline on the fire"

Great thread.

Animal control would know how to deal with bees or be able to point you in the direction of a business that does, wouldn't they?

Back when I worked for a utility we had a process for contacting beekeepers because bees love to stay over in toasty warm utility boxes. They had to determine what type of bees they were and usually take the hive/swarm alive because of state/federal laws protecting honeybees and determining if the bees were hybrids to track that sort of thing.

Evolution marches on. If bees take up some unobtrusive spot on my property I'll probably just ignore it. If you create a massive pulsating ball of bees on my little cousin's swingset, I will go apex predator on you.

Bees spread flowers and flowers make pollen and pollen makes me sneeze. Bees are a plague and should be put down. Once science develops a synthetic honey we should eradicate them from the face of the earth.

No more bees, no more sneeze.

I'm not saying I wouldn't have done the same thing, just the piles of lil dead bees made me sad.

If they'd been wasps or hornets I would have been utterly gleeful.

eh honestly this kind of depends on the game

like, using GTA as an example, it'd be kind of silly to put a blanket violence or sex or cursing TW on it because no poo poo, Sherlock, but... on the other hand, GTAV has a required story mission with a really graphic and disturbing interactive torture scene, and I could totally see people wanting some warning about that

and like, i've had some friends who've been raped or otherwise victimized and found the Tomb Raider reboot rough to get through (at least early on before you go Full Rambo)

That was in an episode of Sliders, they crossed spiders with wasps and the process somehow made them 6 inches long too.

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.
I think that it is possible to laugh at something that seems out of place without that being a judgement call. Like, you can laugh at someone farting during a funeral proceeding and find that funny in itself without it meaning that you do not respect the dead, and much the same, you can find it funny that a Let's Play about Mega Man includes information on how to cope with depression and a hotlink to a suicide prevention hotline, without that meaning that you do not respect Mega Man.

If you take me as making an argument against that kind of thread, then I either express myself poorly or you misread me. I don't really doubt that there is a need and a use for that information, including on a comedy forum, but the juxtaposition is funny all the same. It reminds me of that "Pagliacci" joke, which to me also has no value-judgement in it.
