The kid was probably retarded, (as in having down´s syndrome or hunting disease or other such things which make you have intelligence of a small child) Only a person whos not playing with a full deck would do something like this , so i dont thing we should be joking about this.
I offer my condolences to the family of this person
Pretty much my reaction the first time I saw it.
