Another family man from Cleveland. Please come CAPTION Ariel Castro!!!




Ariel ("All people do is complain, complain, complain&quot Castro is saying: "Well, Your Honor, if you look at it objectively, they had it pretty dang good. . . . A heck of a lot better than the victims of The Inquisition. . . . And better than people during the plague. . . . Even better than slaves. . . . They didn't even have to work! . . . Objectively, I'd say they owe me for rent and food for over a decade. . . . But I'll not push the matter. . . . That's the kind of guy I am."

Now, on your way to the waste-bin, Spud.

but we often try to channel the essence of our subjects, what they would like to say, what they're thinking, the stupidity of their thought processes, etc.

(In the OP, his trying to seem like a nice guy who just needed a family is being satirized. But explaining a joke is like dry-humping a wire brush.)

he won't have to work anymore and he'll get free food and housing for the rest of his life. Sounds like he'll have it pretty dang good.
