What The hell is this crazy bitch thinking? Really now…. She goes on TV talking about Thanksgiving and her Turkey pardon while standing in a pool of turkey blood during an execution by beheading of the turkey’s family.

Now, did she really pardon some poor turkey or was it all a publicity stunt gone redneck? we’ll never know I guess.

Isn’t this just a plain dumb thing to do during a Turkey Pardon… not for Sarah I guess.

Check out the Palin Pardon Video with a blood soaked backdrop and a bird losing his head a few feet away… sick shit and yes, a gross video for sure…. GROSS STUPIDITY or just gross video.

I would like to thank all of our readers who come back to, well… our sick sites. We are now migrating to a better system to allow for our growth and try to get the various categories under one umbrella, so to speak.The new site will be found at http://justsickshit.com/sick and we will be moving stuff daily ’till done, it may take some time due to the spread out nature of the way JSS was originally designed (we are changing that).

Again, I want to thank everyone who comments and contributes their opinions … even JewRock, who seems to be well hated across the board… I still thank your dumb ass.

JustSickShit.com is migrating to a new layout and a new format. During the migration shit may be a bit off, but within the next week or two JustSickShit.com should be fully changed over to the new format.

With the new JSS, many new features will be introduced along with much better navigation and video systems. So excuse the crazy mess during this transitional period and enjoy all the cool new shit we are adding as fast as we can.

In the meantime, both sites are active, the old and the new.

Winnie Judd seems to have shot Hedvig Samuelson, 24, in the head, along with another woman and tried to stuff her in a trunk. When the trunk was not large enough, Winnie Judd cut up the body into four parts and packed her that way. She then took the trunks filled with 2 dead bodies on the train to Los Angeles with her. She then became called the trunk Murderess… hmm

I wonder if this optical illusion print comes in a wallpaper? This crazy shit makes me dizzy just glancing at it….

Can you imagine using this for your walls? I wonder how long it wold take to go totally insane? This pattern is so cool, even with only a few lines showing the thing still moves. This isn’t a sick vid, this is actually just a jpeg, a still image of nothing more than squares of 2 sizes and 4 colors but the pattern and color combo totally mess with my eyes making it hard to really focus on anything other than the waves moving through the image… It’s a pretty crazy pattern for sure.

Feline oddities - Sick looking kitty cats. Just like people, cats have their share of deformations">crazy deformations and birth defects. Below are some crazy looking cats, unfortunately, most did not live for more than a few hours. Usually, badly deformed babies are miscarried early on, but sometimes they are born and we all trip out on it….

Here is some crazy sick shit, Feline oddities - cyclops the kitty cat

cyclops kitten

 Another cyclops kitty

 This kitten has duplicated limbs. It’s almost like two separate bodies stuck back to back. I believe they could not be separated because they shared organs.

 Two face the fat cat

An old black and white of a two faced cat above. Below, well, it may be a hoax. The vet believes that the kittens below are merely stuck together due to dried fluids from birth. The reason for this not being real Siamese sextuplets is because they are all different colors and there is no way mama kitty could have squeezed that crazy mess out like that. makes sense to me. either way, a crazy mess to be in.

 This oddly deformed kitty cat had no facial features, no mouth or nose to even breathe with.

This cat not only has two heads, but 2 brains as well, from what I read. The owners claimed potty training was a serious problem.

 This cat, well, he may just have eaten too much
