His last thoughts were “this is gonna lead to the creation of anime, isn’t it?”
"Take me out"
- Well I say you don’t know
Never forget, this happened due to incompetence.

- It kinda "blows my mind" that nobody has done a dark comedy about the assassination. It's one of those tales that is just loaded with goofs and fuckups, and then through sheer luck and happenstance the assassin got an opening. I've always loved the idea of multiple dueling time travelers all messing with each other resulting in the history we got.
  
  I wanna see the scene of Čabrinović fucking up his suicide in the most slapstick way possible
  throw grenade at archduke
  bounces off of car
  kills no one
  swallow cyanide pill
  jump off bridge
  cyanide pill was expired
  vomit
  it was the dry season
  break both legs
  get beaten by crowd
  get arrested
  
  I could see a very good drunk history if nothing else.
  
  The Whitest Kids You Know could have done a skit on this. They did have one skit making fun of the lax security around Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theater.
If I move, this could die
- Well it wasn’t bothering me before, but it sure is now!
  
  Grrr. It's not part of the original painting. Also, the cropped shot of the drivers face is from a picture with higher resolution than the top picture. Arrrrh. Someone is taking way too much time editing and fucking it all up during the process.
- Mercedes asked that their brand be censored from the image.
