Title: Making money from the misfortunes of fellow human beings
Product review: People who love the Darwin Awards feel that it's OK to laugh at other people's tragedies because those people are literally non-human - they aren't as fully evolved as the rest of us.Dehumanization is of course a favorite tactic during times of war. People who love the Darwin Awards don't even need to be at war to dehumanize others!I think the Darwin Awards is a perfect litmus test - most people think they're as nice as anybody else and they're certainly careful not to show their true feelings in most social settings. Knowing that somebody actually supports an industry that profits from laughing at the deaths of fellow human beings tells you exactly what you need to know about that person's level of compassion.And then there's Darwin Awards lovers' desperate need to feel superior to the dead people: 'Wooh Thank God for my good DNA' says one reviewer on Amazon.Lack of compassion is no barrier to successful reproduction - if only it was!
