My faith in this post continually diminished as I clicked to links I thought contained relevant facts. Instead, they were just image macros.

They could easily have been embedded direct, for what little value they offer. As it stands, it's just frustrating and really poor writing.

The post was intended to be stand alone commentary Not a bulletproof thesis.

All I'm saying is my opinions etc after a long stressful week.

Ignore the links, they're just there to lighten the story.

Ok, that's fine. You want to lighten the mood.

but personally, I recommend against fart jokes during a eulogy.

The images are gone now. As per recommendations by other hn users above. The only links remaining are to directly pertinent or explanatory information.

And while this doesn't dispute your opinion as a general rule, there is always an amusing exception: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBCouCYjYUA
