Aw that's sad..... But he's been taken to safety, so he won't die

ArmageddonOuttahere · 16/09/2011 10:20

y'know when you find a sad thing actually really funny and can't stop the laughter? And it feels so wrong?

I think it's the Take A Break-style sadface picture.

sorry OP Blush

JajasWolef · 16/09/2011 10:23

oh my god that's so funny he is a bit odd looking isn't he?

Realises may be an inappropriate response.....

OP have you got other stuff going on in your life that may be making you sad? Does seem a bit strange to be crying so much over a seal pup?

TurkeyBurgerThing · 16/09/2011 10:23

ArmageddonOuttahere you've summed it up perfectly!! It's a laugh/cry situation.

Look at it's little face! Oh my god.

catgirl Grin

It is! it IS the sadface pic! ArmageddonOuttahere, it reminds me of the scene in Shrek where donkey sings "Ahm allll Alooooooone"

This leaves me dry-eyed though I'm glad the pup is alright. It was the story about the 14 mo girl who was having her hands and arms repeatedly stamped on and broken my her step mum which had me sniffling most of yesterday.

I hope desperately she's with people who love her now.

catgirl1976 · 16/09/2011 10:26

I feel bad for laughing but given he has been taken to be looked after I think it's ok...........kenobi I can't stop thinking of him singing that now!

fanjobanjowanjo · 16/09/2011 10:27

OMG do many laughs at catgirl

fanjobanjowanjo · 16/09/2011 10:27

*so

Poor little sod. It is sad but TBH if you actually thought about all the hideous callousness perpetuated in the world (animal and human) you'd never stop crying.

Sorry to be a bit of a killjoy.

Theala · 16/09/2011 10:42

That is one fugly seal.

southmum · 16/09/2011 11:18

Poor little bugger, although he'll probably be better off now.

His Mum is a cahhh Angry

But I laughed out loud at the second picture Blush

Poor little sod.
