WTF?! - sheeeeep jump to their death

This is actually really sad but too fucked up at the same time - couldn't help but LMFAO!!!

Turkish shepherds look at dead sheep in the town of Gevas, near the city of Van, eastern Turkey, Thursday, July 7, 2005. First one sheep jumped to its death. Then stunned Turkish shepherds, who had left the herd to graze while they had breakfast, watched as nearly 1,500 others followed, each leaping off the same cliff, according to the Turkish media reported on Friday July 8, 2005. In the end, 450 dead animals lay on top of one another in a billowy white pile. Those who jumped later were saved as the pile got higher. (AP Photo/Sukru Akyuz/IHA)

I find this extremely sad. Those sheep mean the world to those sheppards as they are his family's source of income. I can only imagine what kinda horror he must have experienced seeing this happen.

So that's what Tony Montana was talking about...

Tony: Joo a communist? Huh? How joo like it, mang? They tell you all the time what to do, what to think, what to feel. Joo wanna be like a sheep? Like all those other people? Baah. BAAH.

Immigration Officer: I don't have to listen to this bullshit!

(...which leads to one of the best lines in Scarface...)

Tony: Joo wanna work eight, ten fucking hours? Joo own nothing, joo got nothing! Joo want a chivato on every corner, mang, looking after you? Watching everything joo do? Everything joo say, mang? Joo know I eat octopus three times a day? I got fucking octopus coming out my fucking ears, mang. I got the fuckin' Russian shoes my feets coming through. How joo like that? What, joo want me to stay there and do nothing? I'm no fucking criminal, mang. I'm no puta of a thief. I'm Tony Montana, a political prisoner from Cuba. And I want my fuckin' juman rights...now! Just like the President Jimmy Carter says. Okay?

lol man you are too funny I do agree that it's sad for those guys but come on...just imagine this in your head...one sheep runs and leaps off a cliff...all of the sudden a whole bunch of sheep just jump off after it...just the image of this in my mind makes me burst with laughter...too bad for the sheep though and the sheppards

Usually they just jump over this little gate in my head if I'm trying to get to sleep. They land safely on the other side though. I've never made them jump off a cliff. Holy crap.

And yet this saying comes to mind:
IF ALL YOUR FRIENDS ARE JUMPING OFF THE CN TOWER, IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO TOO!

But tony montana says it best. Hence the "sheep" referance in relation to followers and bandwagon jumpers. All they do is follow eachother blindly.

I bet some mean wolf chased them off the side, or they were trying to eat the yummy grass on the cliffe. I sure hope they didnt kill themselves.
