A Modern Gilgamesh

Mentally sorting through the rhetorical A-bomb that was George W. Bush's RNC speech is taxing. I considered posting comments but I opted for something different. Inspired by the bizarre but completely true story of Edgar, courtesy of Jim at Foppery, I present to you a cautionary tale for the ages: Bleak House, or, The Life and Times of Yung Yam Duc.
Yung Yam Duc started out so innocent, playing amongst the colored toothpicks, enjoying French Coke, and frolicking with the other Vietnamese Canadian tubers.

Then something happened to him. Perhaps he saw Janet Jackson's nipple.

Suddenly, his head is severed from his body and he's smoking and drinking girl beer.
Thus ends our tale. Beware.
Beware.
