Can’t…stop *wheeze* laughing…at…the…cruel *big breath* irony of it all. This is no Photoshop japery like that “Seriously McDonalds” viral; this is the real deal, spotted at an American KFC. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Flickr seals it. [SelfishGiving via Grist]

An American was decapitated in a head-on collision.

Thursday, June 16, 2011 at 5:21 PMJDRF are a research company looking for a cure for Juvenile Diabetes “aka” Type 1 which is a auto-immune disease. I should know. I live with it everyday. You are all getting confused with Type 2 which can relate to lifestyle choices such as food and exercise. Before you start opening your mouth saying why would a company support Pepsi for diabetes, your actually making yourself look silly. We do not get Type 1 Diabetes (which as I said is Auto-immune and what JDRF are about) from drinking soda. We get it because our body attacked itself. Some more research before posting rubbish would be advised.

Thursday, June 16, 2011 at 5:29 PMCan’t escape that in a mainstream context, people will see sugary drink and a reference to diabetes and think ‘WTF?’ Should some people buy a mega cup to support Type 1 diabetes and by doing so drive themselves ever closer to Type 2? Irony is irony.

Saturday, June 18, 2011 at 11:38 AMThere is also clear evidence that people with type 2 diabetes are more likely to produce offspring with type 1 diabetes. Based on this rational there is a chance that you got diabetes because one of your parents lifestyle choices was to drink many mega buckets of liquid sugar – in support of the JDRF of course!
