Passersby Were Amazed By The Unusually Large Amounts of Blood
In the print version of the popular United States-based satirical newspaper The Onion, the sentence "Passersby were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood" is often repeated to fill space under a bold-text non sequitur made to appear as if the bolded "quote" has been pulled from an article nearby. This running gag has been part of The Onion for several years. The passage was eventually used in an actual article in 2008.

And now begin to weep when they have done.”
