Suicide Booth
About
Suicide Booth refers to a series of three-panel exploitable images featuring scenes of the animated television series Futurama. In the first panel, the character Fry from the show waits to use a "suicide booth". Panel two shows an image that the meme's author finds objectionable. The third panel shows Fry pushing the "start" button on the booth, sarcastically indicating that the second image makes the author contemplate suicide.
