Stupid on the internet

[lyorn]

bellatrys has found a truly remarkable singluarity of stupid on the internet which will likely make you grasp for the bleeprin while howling with laughter.

Background is the current US health care debate:

People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless.

The words, they fail me. I can haz cat macros?

ETA: They noticed, and pulled it down. Doesn't matter. bellatrys has a screencap.

ETA2: A comment in the Guardian, quoting Hawking.
