crime

There's something happening in Florida. Perhaps there's something in the water. Or perhaps the sunshine affects peoples mental well-being. But everyone knows there has to be a reason that "Florida Man" headlines are so absolutely insane. The news is consistently flooded with wild, crazy, and often depressing tales of dumb criminals committing very strange crimes. And they all have one thing in common: They're from the Sunshine State. 

We've asked this before and we're gonna ask it again: what the actual f*ck is in Florida's water supply? Like, is it some sort of radioactive sh*t? Florida Man might as well be the name of a superhero at this point - a superhero that does absolutely nothing useful but entertain us.

Residents of Florida really make it easy to make fun of the sunny southern state. We mean no disrespect, but these Florida Man headlines and dragging memes are endlessly entertaining. Florida is kind of like that little brother that you love but can't help but poke fun at. If you like these memes and headlines, follow @floridapeoplegonewild. The account is a veritable treasure trove of hilarious insanity.

This meme isn't new by any means, but can you believe it's from all the way back in 2004? Yeah, neither can we. It stems from a scene in British comedy series Peep Show where a character named Super Hans offers another character a chocolate bar he stole, which he claims tastes so good because its secret ingredient is "crime."

Well, it appears that we're living in the future now, as the first space crime ever may have just been committed. 

Astronaut Anne McClain has found herself in hot water after being accused of identity theft from her estranged wife Summer Worden. 

Sounds like a fairly regular crime until you learn that McClain had accessed Worden's bank account from outer space, making for an unprecedented case with unclear jurisdiction. 

While the legal authorities try to sort that sh*t out, please enjoy the following Twitter reactions!

Oh look, we're back with even more baffling stupidity! This time it's a roundup of insanely WTF headlines that clearly were written by overworked journalists at 3 am. But still, wasn't there an editor who had to have seen these before they went to press? Either way, scroll down to see the level of stupidity we're dealing with here!

It can be really mind-boggling to think about all of the stupidity in the world, and L. Scott Briscoe, a criminal lawyer in West Virginia, has apparently seen it all. His Facebook page hands out hilarious free legal tips that you'd think would be common sense to most people. NOPE.

If you're not watching Buzzfeed Unsolved then you need to get on that ASAP. The wildly popular YouTube show follows co-hosts Ryan Bergara, a firm believer in the paranormal, and the hilariously skeptical Shane Madej as they investigate true crime and the supernatural. 

The show has inspired several well-known meme formats, including "Hey There Demons, It's Me Ya Boy," which you've likely seen floating around the internet by now. 

Many have asserted that 'Unsolved' is what's kept Buzzfeed afloat in recent years. We're not going to comment on that, but either way go check this show out because it's definitely one of the best things on YouTube right now!

We heard you like memes.

Florida's Escambia County Sheriff's Office struck social media gold on Tuesday after posting a mugshot of a wanted (and apprehended) criminal. Charles McDowell was arrested for a laundry list of charges, but according to Facebook, his greatest offense is having a seriously cartoonishly swole neck. While we all enjoy justice being served, there's something especially satisfying about seeing the internet rip this felon to shreds. We've included our favorite comments, but head on over to the thread for endless entertainment.
