Self-own in progress: UN accidentally exposes how 'useless' it is in dealing with Syria

The United Nations literally issued a blank statement on the latest atrocities in Syria saying, “No words will do justice to the children killed, their mothers, their fathers and their loved ones”:

U.N. issues blank statement on Syria, says it has run out of words https://t.co/8OpKM0X0MK

The blank statement was 10 lines long for added effect:

Wow… "We no longer have the words to describe children’s suffering and our outrage." @UNICEF issued a literal blank statement. 10 lines of no text, within quotation marks. #Syria #Ghouta https://t.co/eXzx502SKO

But does the U.N. realize what it just did to itself? This is a remarkable self-own:

tfw you think you're being clever but you're really acknowledging how useless you are. https://t.co/e3kWynMV6l

Or maybe the UN should apologize?

Because this is what the U.N. responded to with a blank page:

20 children and 15 women were among those killed, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said https://t.co/Gx08etshck

Try harder to find the words maybe?
