I can't stand hypocrisy.

File under "black humor":

The New York Post, rag of my youth, has what I remember as a typical NYP headline:

SLAIN BY MOM

... about what the ifeminists.net newsfeed headline calls a "DV activist" (DV is "Domestic Violence" and I assume her activism was opposed to it):

DV activist kills daughter
A suicidal mom, despondent over her divorce... beat her 14-year-old daughter to death with a hammer...Friends said Lynn Giovanni had written a book, "Judicial System Loopholes," last year that slammed the court's treatment of domestic violence.

But a slain-by-mom headline would rarely even draw me into reading the article, whereas the hypocrisy referenced in a DV-activist-kills-daughter headline catches my attention with its very dark irony. And it reminds me of a recent Boondocks ...
