horrendous domestic abuse newspaper story

I don't think I've ever posted in this section before, but I saw this and felt the need. The story itself is horrible but actually what has shocked me even more is that I stumbled across it on facebook where there are about a thousand comments beneath the link and the vast majority of them are from people saying how hilarious it is. And most of the people laughing at it are women. Hmm I've got a good sense of humour, sometimes even a dark sense of humour, but no matter how black my humour, I just can't see anything even vaguely amusing about a woman being mutilated. Confused

I haven't read the piece but is this the superglue story?

I am a mature student and this story was read out by one of the youngest, females students in one of my lectures earlier today with all the salacious details punctuated by her raucous laughter. I have no idea wtf she found so hilarious and frankly, it is depressing that she did. FWIW, no one else in the room laughed, the story (and her reaction) was met with horrified disgust.

Some of the worse misogynists are women. I dunno why, its cool, they want male approval perhaps? That poor woman, it is absolutely horrific. Surely some kind doctor can help with reconstructive surgery?

that's horrific. I would immediately unfriend anyone who thought this was funny. Disgusting!

I'm failing to see any part of that story as funny. Wtf is wrong with people?

Reason 6723 as to why Facebook sucks.

Omg that's awful. He needs to be thrown in jail.

Why are he police not putting more effort into chasing him? He's a dangerous sex attacker. This should be a priority for the police.

If anyone thinks this is funny they are sick misigynists.

It's a trashy rag of a newspaper, but my point isn't really about the reporting, more about the 'hilarious' comments on Facebook.
