The picture is out of context. Like when people make weird faces during sports. Case in point:

I'd like to believe this is a joke thread, but alas I actually think you're being 100% serious. I don't say it very often, but I think you might be getting what you deserve. If you're at a war memorial, you should really try having a modicum of respect and tact in the future.

Yeah. That was your bad. Kind of a dumb thing to do at a memorial don't you think? It's called being tactful my friend. Knowing when it's a good idea to not be a dumba**.

I do really hope you get what you deserve.

How can you be so disrespectful to people who have died for their country?

Show some respect next time.

I can't believe anyone could advocate this behavior or find it the least bit humorous. I don't want to seem like an uptight a**hole here, but it's nothing but disrespectful. I've had multiple members of my family in the various branches of the armed forces, and although nobody in my family has died in combat, I still learned through their time in the service to appreciate and respect those who did die fighting for their country.

Honestly who gives a ****? Big deal, some kid showed disrespect at a memorial, ignore him, it's not a big deal, who cares. This is why Tiger Woods is news. We care too much about stupid ass ****.

Who cares man. Respect isn't something that You can enforce. You either show it or You don't. If You start scaring people to treat things with respect, they don't treat things with respect. They just won't touch things because they're afraid.

I think you'll be fine. Public douchbaggery is nowhere near as bad as public urination. Plus, i'm sure the dead didn't mind that you were having fun.They are, after all, DEAD. I think if its published, all that's gonna happen is your parents will be pissed, some ultra conservative dudes whose relatives are all military will be pissed, and everyone else will laugh it off and wish they had done it first.

While I believed that should have retained the joke to show respect for those who fallen for their country, what can I say? **** happens. If you are on the news, just walk it off. We live life once, life's too short. Just dont do it next time unless you have accepted the consequences and possible public's attempt to expose you.

If it was a random cannon somewhere, I'd say it's funny. But since it was at a war memorial, you should know to show more respect than that.

This What goes around, comes around. -too often today people do not expect to 'pay' for their actions...they expect a 'warning' or some other small consequence You were at a WAR MEMORIAL (for people that died in service to their country) and referenced YOUR JUNK -you are getting off easy IMO

given that it's christmas and there are much better and more important news stories I'm pretty sure that nobody will bother airing that if he even sends it in. If it does happen though just go with it and enjoy the fame I suppose.

you are awfully overreacting...tell me do you think that if you go there and say "THIS CANNON IS MAH JUNK!" or "IMMAH CHARGIN' MAH LAZOR!" and skeletal hand will come out of the ground and grab you and say "WHY ARE YOU BEING DOING THAT!!!" go ahead ask the dead soldiers if they give a damm about someone doing anything in that memorial
