I mean, listen, if I really want some hot dogs and hamburgers, nothing is going to stop me. Especially not some bologna about "You're desecrating my burial site" and "Oh god, oh god, what are they doing, that's where my Martin is buried." Get a grip, guys.

Just kidding! But clearly that was the mindset of this group of 3 adults and 7 children in West Yorkshire, UK, who decided to have an all out barbecue, using a tombstone as the grill.

A man and his wife happened to be walking by the area when they caught sight of the festivities. "Imagine [my] surprise to find three adults with about seven children enjoying a barbecue," the man, of Otley, England, said on Facebook.


Apparently, the matter is to be taken up by the Church Authority going forward.






Just remember, next time you go to have a banquet atop the tombstones of people you don't know, especially if you're planning to use one of those tombstones AS your grill, you might offend somebody accidentally.

CNN's Jake Tapper said what everyone was thinking to Stephen Miller, who, fresh off his first week as the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, defended President Donald Trump's order to freeze hundreds of billions of dollars in government spending that created significant confusion across all levels of government.

Earlier, a Trump administration official stated that the move is not a funding freeze but a "pause" to allow agencies time to review whether federal grants and loans align with recent executive actions by Trump.
