YES. I know this has been posted multiple times, the actual content isn't what I noticed.
Follow the link to the original article and it explains how the tragedy played out, pilgrims tripped over luggage...hey wait, the word luggage is a hypertext link...hovering the pointer over it prompts an add for - "Pssst. Wanna buy some luggage at a discount." I laughed out loud at how tasteless this was.

Reminds me of the time Jesus cast the demons out of a crazy man on the far side of the lake.

I understand that that's automated. Certain keywords get hyperlinked whenever they show up in articles, leading to some very illogical results in certain circumstances.

Why should we nuke Mecca when the hajis are apparently capable of offing themselves without any outside help whatsoever?

It doesn't even seem to be luggage in which most Islamic Pilgrims would be interested.
Slightly crumpled Luggage used only once for Mecca stampede.

Sad that all those people died in what might have been one of their few non-violent expressions of their faith.
That being said, what happened that caused the stampeded, did someone yell soap.

At least 345 people were killed in a stampede, which occurred in Mecca as tens of thousands of pilgrims headed toward al-Jamarat Heathens crushed to death while attending one of their ceremonies.
Not to worry. I'm sure that they're all now someplace nice and warm.

Had they followed the true God, this would never have happened. Don't you know that true believers never die in mishaps.

Was any of the luggage made out of PIG SKIN?
To: Sax
Hahahah! When I did it, I got a bomb explosion, with a bunch of Arabic script in it that I couldn't read. When I clicked on it, it went to showtimeoffers.com/lost/arabic or something like that. *crazy*!!

In a computer UI class, my group was reviewing a program that catalogued music. I have a sound file from one of the calls made from an American Airlines flight attendant on 9/11. The software took it, and attached the CD cover of the American Pie soundtrack to it. I know it was automatic, but ugh....

With the link to luggage, maybe this is the mohammedans take on the Samsonite Gorilla...

The latest incident came despite Saudi efforts to ease the flow of traffic around al-Jamarat.
What? They have multi/passenger lanes there TOO???
Damn, this crap has gone too far!!!
