“Honey, is the toilet running? Shake the handle.”
This may be the most fucked-up thing I’ve read this year. Envison a dark corner of Disneyland managed by Ray Bradbury’s Mr. Dark, an Airbnb owned by H.P. Lovecraft, or the Overlook Hotel.
Be sure to read all the way to the end for the kicker.
Hey, Elon ol’ buddy, when’s that first bus to Mars leave? This place is starting to freak me out.

And ship Elon off too. I praise the 32 hour work week and think it should be universal, not 80 or more like this nut.

Now that you mention it, moving to Mars with Elon may not be much of an upgrade.

Starting to?

I was always a slow learner. Ask anyone who tried teaching me. That is, if they have visiting hours at the asylum.

Gots to have the internets so’s guests can selfie-ize themselves on the facetube right before the mortar rounds crash through the ceiling

Hey, I think we’re onto something here. Call it “Instagrim.”

As an old Jewish guy, whose grandparents fled Russia and Poland at the end of the 19th century due to the pogroms, and the son of a WW II vet who was a “guest” of the Germans towards the end of that war, I absolutely can’t wait to spend a few nights in the Auschwitz AirBNB. I can just see the ads: “Come for the fabulous, complimentary breakfast – all of our ovens run on gas.”

No wonder ghost stories have always been such a thing. We deserve to be haunted.

I imagine that stay at the Auschwitz Air BnB would come with a complimentary tattoo so guests could take something home to remember the experience.
I’m too young to have been cannon fodder for WW II or Vietnam, but like Paul, had a relative in Europe. Of course O’G’s dad flew cargo in the Pacific. My Uncle Roy was close enough to the front to take ’88 shellfire and had a scrapbook of pictures of the devastation as he moved East in France and Germany. It wasn’t a vacation. It sort of turns my stomach that people can make these sort of places into a vacation spot for those who haven’t a clue.

Ghastly story and once again proves “what Larry’s wife says”. I suppose if they really wanted to recreate the experience, guests would be fed a quarter cup of rice a day, shot at when trying to leave the “hotel” and be rousted out of bed at 0-dark thirty to be beaten and gang-raped. Using condoms, of course. After all, this is not the real thing.

What more can I add? Nothing, not a god damn thing.
