No, people expect stunt men or circus performers to risk injury or in this case death, but the fact that the crowd thought it was part of the show. That makes it funny. Are you saying WWF is too respectful to fake an injury for ratings, or to try to legitimize their "sport"? I'll bet as they were carrying him off fans were shouting for him to shake it off and get back in there. Yes this belongs in the Darwin category, I guess to call it humor is questionable. What joke doesn't humiliate or be-little someone? Is this the "Politically correct joke thread"? BTW, your double standards are funny too!

A farmer has about 200 hens, but no rooster and he wants chicks. So, he goes down the road to the next farmer and asks if he has a rooster. The other farmer says, "Yeah, I've got this great rooster, named Randy; "he'll service every chicken you've got. No problem." Well, Randy the rooster is a lot of money, but the farmer decides he'd be worth it. So , he buys Randy. The farmer takes Randy home and sets him down in the barnyard, giving the rooster a pep talk, " Randy, I want you to pace yourself now.

Randy seemed to understand, so the farmer points towards the hen house and Randy took off like a shot ~WHAM~ He nails every hen on there THREE or FOUR times and the farmer is just shocked. Randy runs out of the hen house and sees a flock of geese down by the lake ~WHAM~ He gets all the geese. Randy's up in the pigpen. He's in with the cows. Randy is jumping on every animal the farmer owns. The farmer is distraught, worried that his expensive rooster won't even last the day. Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed and wakes up the next day to find Randy dead as a doorknob in the middle of the yard. Buzzards are circling overhead. The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colorful animal, shakes his head and says, "Oh, Randy, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you've done to yourself." Randy opens one eye, and looks towards the buzzards flying overhead and say's, "Shhh. They're getting closer...."
