Sadly I now related the phrase "Oh the humanity" instantly with "Les Nesman and WKRP's Thanksgiving Day on site promotion" TV episode.
It's my reaction as opposed to the reaction of Chimpur.
I don't mean to be irreverent to this disaster, it's just my brains first thought when I read or hear the phrase. Again I apologize for the derailment.
It's even worse for me, I've been totally corrupted by the internet.

From the first time I ever heard that quote, and I have never changed my mind on the matter, I thought the use of the word "humanity" in the context strange. Seems to me the word "inhumanity" would have been more appropriate.......

HOWEVER: occassionally I have in the past provided links to instructions or illustrations. I will not do so in future, in fact I will not be offering helpful advice for free just to have my words pirated until the sleazy ad linking desists. I will, however, answer PMs.

Interesting perspective, rgray. I personally would go with "humanity" as in "oh, the people", in that I use the term "inhumanity" in a context that refers to a harsh injustice done by someone to another person (or a group of people undertaking inhumane acts against other people). Still, I see your point. Paix, mon ami.

As soon as I saw the headline there I knew exactly what the subject of this thread was!
The turkey dropping episode of WKRP?
