pKay.
Too soon.
….too soon? lol
lol, too soon!
Umm… wasn’t that like over 100 years ago? How can it be too soon? I mean if it were like yesterday then it would be too soon, but it wasn’t… I say chronology fail…
P.S.Pardon the likes, I was hanging out with valley girls…

Gotta hand it to Eds: This is a fine mo-sheen!
I was certainly impressed. That castle will fall in no time.
It will always be too soon for a crappy caption like that.
Nah those guns sucked. the bullet bounced off, you can see it just above his head, a little bit right. He was fine!
I rarely actually lol, but in this case, I lol’d
That’s really not funny…that’s a sad part of our history that i dont think should be made fun of. I would request that it be taken off.
I agree, a bit…. it would be funny if that didn’t actually happen, but since it’s LINCOLN…
Lincoln, a man who, were he alive and president today, would be ripped to shreds and slandered wherever he went. And yet, he’s one of our heroes while recent and current presidents are perfectly acceptable for use as cannon fodder….
Welcome to American politics, friend. John F. Kennedy’s opponents said he was going to let the Pope run the United States.
i agree with this marcy person its not funy and it should be taken off. he was a faboluos leader. i do have a sense of humor but i draw the line at that. it should
be taken off
He wasnt that fabulous… he was a documented racist and was nearly insane before he got killed.
Does it really matter what kind of leader he was? We shouldn’t make fun of our leaders, no matter what. That was a horrible event that should not be taken lightly.
So the Germans shouldn’t poke at Hitler? Come now, what of politics would remain?
Lincoln didn’t slaughter Jews, or homosexuals, or mentally retarded people…
a racist OH NOES
He basically shredded the Constitution as the basis for, and during the carrying out of the Civil War. Our Country was founded on the rght of the people to self govern (THAT is the real basis for the 2nd Amendment, not hunting, etc), and when the South tried to do that, he prevented it. Don’t get me wrong, he was a great leader and one of our better presidents for keeping this country together, but he certainly was not above criticism. And this is coming from a Northerner whose family fought against the Confederacy.
bravo, glad to see some history brought in
however, it is also acceptable for a president to set aside the constitution, its HIS right as the president.
Actually, I don’t think it is ‘legal’, simply tolerated.
“Acceptable” is in the eye of the beholder, but fact fail on Presidential
“right.” That silly business of swearing to uphold the Constitution is
supposed to mean something…
(This isn’t Rome. Just… you know. Because you seemed to be confused there.)
You’re a winner. Just clarifying.
if only this was Rome.
its still funny!!!
You’re right – it’s totally sick and wrong.
Otherwise, you know, we just wouldn’t LOL as hard.
I agree with marcy. This isn’t funny at all.
I also agree with Illimunitus. It’s been almost 150 years, but it’s still too soon.
And that’s because you have no sense of humor.
no sense of humor… or just not a very warped, dark, sense of humor?
No sense of humor.
And very little understanding of history. Lincoln was no angel, not by a long shot. He did, however, manage to bury any semblance of “states rights” that might have existed prior to the Civil War. Thanks to him, we *all* live under the thumb of a federal tyranny now.
Besides.. the minute there’s something that’s “too sacred” to laugh at, mock, or likewise poke fun at… is the minute you know you’re taking yourself *waaay* too damn seriously.
dude. i’ll take federal tyranny over state and local tyranny anyday. at least the feds pretended to give a damn about my great-great-grandparents’ rights as human beings. that and property taxes suck balls.
lincoln was shot in the back at a play by a coward out-of-work actor. sucked then, funny now.
Since when do they give a damn? And the income tax is a much bigger pain in the ass than property tax, my friend. I can at least move if i don\’t like the property tax in one state.
Drue… the assassination of an American President — regardless of who — is going way to far, whatever your opinion of him is. So I personally feel this should be removed.
But 1st amendment rights trump my personal opinion.
No, this is a private site, thus if you piss and whine enough they’ll take it down. Heaven forfend that we ruffle someone’s cloths of dream…
Relax, he’s just blowing off steam into the back of his head. Lincoln doesn’t even look like he minds. Besides having a president with a bullet in his brain would be a step from Bush
This is NOT humor. Whoever thinks this is funny is cruel and mentally disturbed.
You called?
Practicing necromancy these days or do you just like the clothing style? I must say I am fond of black myself with a skull or two thrown in for good measure to keep the peasants in line.
To find this funny you have to see the video that its referring to. Theres a video or a guy using hacks in counter strike and spazzing out screaming and jumping up and down “boom headshot!! boom! HEADSHOT!!!!”
Lets also remember that Lincoln was the first republican president ever elected and was called every name in the book in the press while he was president. We know him as a great president because of what he did to end slavery and that he was assassinated during his presidency.
While it’s tragic that he was assassinated the mixture of the caption and the picture is funny in that dark historic event meets new attitude about violence in video games sort of way. Again you have to see the video to really get the joke.
of not or*
I dont care how awful or twisted you say this is, its F***ing hilarious
The video that this is reffering to,
Youtube search “FPS Doug” and you shall see the comedy.
I think the assassination was a conspiracy. There’s no way he could’ve shot him in the back of the head at that angle. It’s physically impossible.
not funny.
This is exactly why we need to see MORE historical pics.
I’m sorry the previous commenter does not think it is funny. It wasn’t… then. The picture, which is not a photograph… yeah…
blame the guy who sketched this in the nineteenth century, not the person who captioned it!
i personally think lincoln as a great person, but that doesnt mean hes not above being picked on-besides, most(not all) stuff here is posted in good fun. I would laugh if it was my mother in the pic instead of lincoln, and im on good terms with mom. Dont take anything on here seriously
you have issues
Had, at least.
yah, I caught on kinda late that this was from way back when…I just used that recent comments thing and clicked on Boom since I guess someone else posted here too…*searches for recent post* There! Down there at the bottom…the…people generating links to their own websites…oh.
Whenever the poster’s name is the name of recent lol, it’s a spammer. They’re trying to get you to click THAT and go directly to their website. Tricksy little devils.
PS Not making fun, because guess how I know that?
Bad. Taste. In it’s purest form.
oh boo hoo, this is funny, if we have to get serious about every person whos ever died, great or not, this world will suck. have some fun, and laugh at other peoples misfortune. its the george carlin way, that old bastard hahaha, like him, i kinda like it when alot of people die
Regardless of who he was or what he was, I don’t think it’s funny to make fun of anyone’s death…
Ever read the Darwin Awards?
Naw. He doesn’t laff at Tom and Jerry cartoons either – just too malicious and violent.
Oh God. I just thought about the Three Stooges again!
/me stuffs head under fuzzy pink pillow and cries his/her/itself to sleep.
dunno how to feel
then again i did a similar doodle in my history book so i guess i have to lol
Not funny… At all.
To make fun of the murder of anyone, let alone one of our greates presidents, is reprehensible. It also brings into question the persons maturity, morality, and ethical code.
its bad to make fun of lincon being shot with a gamer referance…
….but remember its perfectly cool to put him in bill and teds excellent adventure!
[...] It’s a pretty good head shot [...]
Totally sic (semper tyrannis)

Ohhh, I can’t help but groan for both good and bad reasons…that’s how you know this is awesome.
While Lincoln (like anybody) had his faults, and he may have issued the Emancipation Proclamation only to punish the South, it doesn’t matter why he did it: the justice and rightness of it ultimately outweighs the “why.”
Also, it’s nonsense to say that the South seceded over States’ Rights issues. They only believed in States’ Rights when it was something they wanted to do. When it came to other states’ rights, such as releasing from his indenture a slave who was physically within a free state’s jurisdiction, the Southern states were firmly in favor of running roughshod over those rights (see: Dred Scott decision and attempts to enforce slavery as the law of the land). The issue was always slavery: protecting it and enforcing it through completely bogus Supreme Court decisions and KKK terrorism, and ultimately breaking the Union to maintain it. The South prattled about Tradition and Gallantry and Honor, but used every dirty, cowardly, bullying trick imaginable to maintain its “tradition” of exploiting a group of people who had “no rights which the white man was bound to respect.”
That tradition, and this sick joke, are despicable to me. Justify them to yourself however you please.
This would only be funny if it were Kanye west, the asspat.
what a sick picture.
