You must be correct. (NSFW, maybe? It's a dildo; I don't know where you work.)

Thank you so much TontoCorazon! Everytime i see this picture, i start guessing what happened there. And it's horrible. And each time it get's worse, like, i noticed there's a guy without a shirt standing on the left just today.
You brought peace to my mind and i am thankful. And don't anyone loving internet-detective this, except if your version is nicer.

The joke isn't the bird.

It's the arrow pointing at the bird. If you're going to edit this photo, you need to have a discreet, inoffensive arrow pointing at the big honking unnecessary arrow.

Where do you even find bright green plush carpet, anyway? I'm tempted to run up the street to our local flooring store to see if they have any in stock. I can't imagine they sell much of it.

I dunno, it seems to be working, since every time someone brings up "cis" goons feel it mandatory to spend at least a page declaring proudly how unoffended they are. Then there's always a nice heaping of transphobia thrown in for good measure.

Much like when racist white guys get called honkey or cracker, they start attacking black people in defence.

For the most part, it's that some of the pronouns are loving stupid sounding.


I generally go with "them/their/they" when I don't know someone's gender, which is pretty common when you've never met someone in person and their name doesn't point to their gender. The purple and blue nametags above sound like names for an alien race in some 70's/80's scifi book.

Oh, hey. It looks like the pack also comes with a name tag where you can write whatever the gently caress you want to on it.

I was talking about these images with a friend on battle.net's chat client, and Blizzard has decided to censor the word "hetero". How very progressive of them.

These are a little redundant, because you can just refer to a person by their name rather than any sort of silly pronoun. Its simpler, more formal, and is far less likely to offend.

Ahoy me fine salty sailors. If ye be lookin for gripping adventure on the high seas, this be the book for ye. It hoisted me mizzen mast and shivered me timbers, Yar! If you've ever wondered exactly what to do with a drunken sailor, this is the book for you. The author, Barry Richard Burg is a great expert on seamen and it really shows through. I was dissapointed to find that the nautical phrase "a three days blow" didn't mean what I thought it did, but the author's loving descriptions of how these pirates would oil each other up with whale blubber and lash each other with the cat o' nine tails more than made up for it. I'm tempted to go summon my cockswain, rent "The Pirate Movie", then kick back and mourn the passing of the days when burly pirates would start their day by opening the seacock and pumping furiously. Customers who bought titles by Barry Richard Burg also bought titles by J. K. Rowling -- coincidence? I think not.

It's like a merkin, a small pube wig used by whores in the olden days, but it's also used by people who identifies as mermaids. With both groups, transfats and merkins, they were to dumb to realize what they were calling themselves before it was too late.

Yes, in theory, but from what I've seen they're also often "fat people who want to be even fatter."
