Dumb and Dumber...

BBC News posted this story the other day about South Korea's alarming suicide rates, "one of the highest in the developed world."

For me, this is a blow to the solar plexus. It hits home. It seems to reveal a statistic that I have long suspected.

But as I continued reading the article, my brain came to a screeching halt. I had to do a double take.

Some of the steps they plan on taking to tackle the issue:

• They will build more barriers on station platforms to stop people from jumping under trains.
  


• The regulations controlling the sale of pesticides and other poisons will be tightened.


• Internet sites that encourage suicide will be blocked...
  

(of course, there were other points listed that did make half a sense, but still...)

Is this a joke? Tell me this is a joke. I don't get it.
