It's a pun on The Onion's repeating headline about gun deaths in the US ("only country where...") [1] . I thought it was pretty clear before I clicked it it was going to be talking about security vulnerabilities in C, but I live close to that world so I might be a biased audience.

Wow, thanks! Somehow I've missed the 39 times the Onion has carried that headline. I guess I'm part of today's 10,000.

RIP Tim Heidecker.
