Notre Dame Cathedral In Paris Is On Fire
Do we know if Quasimodo made it out safely or not?
No, but Esmeralda has marked herself safe.
EDIT: Sorry if this offended anyone. I have treasured memories and photos of my two-year-old daughter at the cathedral and am upset that it is on fire.
Count me as someone who is laughed at both of those jokes and, at the same time, is sick to my stomach that this building is being lost.
He's the one who dropped the joint, he got out first.
But it's still the best 4-8 Cathedral in the world.
Nice burn
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Seriously. The crown jewel of Europe being destroyed isn't fucking funny.
I just don't want this fire to distract anyone from the fact that Notre Dame went 4-8.
LOL. You're a fuckin asshole. You know a lot about Michigan football and shit like that and generally I don't want to label people, but I think the next time you look in the mirror you can safely say "I'm an asshole"
I don't think you care. Good for you.
I have a dark/crude sense of humor, which is why I made my avatar what it is, and you're right, I don't care and don't apologize for that.
However, IRL I am not actually a 4'10" man who impersonates a doctor to tell people they have AIDs so that he can steal their girlfriends, and am actually far from an asshole.
Why don't you let people feel the way they want about it? That's your opinion. It's just a building. I only get bothered by this stuff if people get hurt. Same with 9/11. I could give two shits about the towers, it's the loss of life that was so profoundly disturbing.
I think a world renown cathedral built in the 1200's might have a little more cultural & historical significance than a skyscraper built in 1973.
Which of them would you prefer to be intact right now?
One had thousands of people inside of it, one had none. Gtfo.
The comment in question specifically talked about separating the people from the building. Of course the tragedy of the WTC were the people that died. But the buildings were just really tall office buildings. You could easily rebuild better buildings in their place if you wanted to.
The tragedy of this fire is completely different. Losing the building itself is significant because it is an 800 year old artifact that is somewhat irreplaceable. That is why people are upset over “just a building.”
It doesn’t mean this is a tragedy on the scale of 9-11, but it is still a tragedy in a totally different way.
A: this is a genuine tragedy
B: there are millions of people who literally revere this place and are mourning right now
C: it happens to be Good Friday
D: I'm not Catholic, but I have a tiny shred of human decency at least, or empathy, for those who might be. Making fun of a tragedy in public (which this forum is) as its fucking happening is not "feeling how you feel" it's being a gigantic ass hole. I can't believe people on MGoBlog need someone to get out the crayons to explain this to them.
Today is not Good Friday
I don't always look for auto-correct changes when I swype, but thankfully you're here to point out those important details..
What the hell did you type that auto corrected you into Good Friday?
Quite a few logical fallacies. Impressive.
False dichotomy, red herring, ad hominem...
Crayons is right.
It’s a little funny
People deal with tragedy in multitudinous ways, humor being one of the more common. Maybe slowing down and allowing for the complex nature of humanity before responding with reflexive anger would be a better strategy moving forward.
LMFAO!
It's lame, but it's a building. They'll repair it. People are acting like someone died
Clemson really does show no mercy, damn.
Prime suspect #1.....
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire...
I wonder if many know the next line to that song...
“...We don’t need no water let the mutha fucka burn!”
Holy smokes...
I'm taking this as a good omen.
Folks, this is an 800-year-old Gothic masterpiece that is burning as we speak. Not really the time to make cheesy jokes.
Yeah this is actually pretty terrible. But the first thing I said when reading the headline was legitimately "holy smokes" without thinking about it.
Hey if Notre Dame didn't want people making cheesy jokes, they should never have hired a block of cheese as their head coach.
It's not like the cheesy jokes have been that grate anyway.
I heard a funny French cheese joke once, but I Camembert it off the top of my head.
I Gouda give it to you, you're a real Muenster!
Gouda the heck out of here with that!
I'm sorry if my cheesy jokes offended anyone. For this, I am deeply raclette-ful.
We Swiss you would stop this.
Don't worry, brie happy.
Don't worry, Brie Alison!
Probably for gouda reason.
How long does Gouda stay good? My mother in law bought my family a log of this stuff and after a few weeks we barely put a dent in this thing.
That man is built like mashed potatoes.

What about s'mores jokes?
There are some smouldering issues here. Arson of you not taking this seriously?
This is horrible. My wife and I honeymooned in Paris 10 years ago this January and we spent almost a full day at the Cathedral. It was an amazing experience (I'm not Catholic) to simply take in the incredibly ornate and beutiful building.
Sorry I'm with jmblue on this one. This is anything but funny. A huge and significant piece of our history and humanity is gone.
