Inspired by MTV's "Daria", /r/SickSadWorld is a collection of weird, unbelievable, and ridiculous news stories in the vein of Daria's favorite show, "Sick, Sad World".

Daria fans. The time has come to rejoice. Daria's favorite bizarre news show, Sick, Sad World, has now become reality. Well, as close to reality as it's going to get anyway. Today's networks would never syndicate it. That air time is best used for worthwhile things, like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and The O'Reilly Factor.

The rules here are so simple, not even Kevin would have trouble following them.

  1. The story must be the sort of bizarre or ridiculous news that would be featured on the Sick, Sad World show in the Daria universe. Note that we're looking for bizarre, ridiculous, unbelievable, and sometimes darkly funny. We're not looking for trauma-inducing, mind-raping or nightmare-fueling. You want /r/wtf for that.

  2. Mark all not safe for work post as not safe for work. We're pretty sure this is a rule across all of Reddit, but we're posting it here just in case any of our regulars was abducted by aliens and had their memories replaced with reruns of Jersey Shore.

  3. While a lot of our stories come from /r/offbeat, we're not another /r/offbeat. We're /r/SickSadWorld. Every linked article must be titled with the following format: [Brief sentence describing the story] [witty tag line] [Sick, Sad World bumper, e.g. "tonight, on SickSadWorld!"] If you need inspiration, here's a list of the Sick, Sad World headlines.

  4. There is no rule 4. We just like even numbers.

Also, this sidebar makes a lot more sense if you read it in Daria's voice.
