I love that the Nihilist-Communist's interest include Anime and video games, the majority of which are produced primarily for consumption, and Cartoon Network, which is part of Turner, one of America's biggest corporations. Unless it's just a troll and I'm being obviously dense.

Nope, just the normal ones (Y a whole lot more often) and W which is a sort of drawn-out 'oo'.
Also, 'Ch' 'Dd' and 'Ll' are letters.

The obligatory ridiculous Welsh place name that is dragged out to illustrate the language is this one from Anglesey - Llanfairpwllgwyn­gyllgo­gery­chwyrn­drobwll­llanty­silio­gogo­goch.

It probably means something that the number of and positioning of the fries changes, and that the hamburger and bun are obviously different as well.

And a home-cooked burger, left in a cool, dry location, will just as happily desiccate like the McD food in the picture.

I'm not sure if it fully fits in this thread but it's given me quite a few chuckles.

UKIP a racist party in the UK (kinda somewhat similar to the TeaParty in the US) asked twitter followers to post why they are voting for them in this upcoming election. Needless to say nearly everyone who is replying are putting up sarcastic jokes.

https://twitter.com/hashtag/WhyImVotingUkip?src=tren



I also have a pretty funny leaflet pushed through my door by these guys today that I can scan in. It reads like some crazy rambling conspiracy thing if anyone wants to see more of this.

I think there was a raving pro-UKIP 'leaflet' posted in the UKMT in D&D a couple months back. It was a couple of pages of lined A4 with utter mad rambling about YUROP :argh: vomited all over it - in pencil.

Two questions related to posts:

-I don't know much about UKIP, but I did see photos from some of their recent things and some of their politicians are black. Can a brit explain that to me?

-What's with the massive hatred for Romanians in the UK? Is it just because of Roma, or what?

UKIP are basically a single-issue party, the issue being xenophobia leaving the EU/closing the borders. Plenty of minority ethnic people define themselves as British, and think that both of those things will be good for the country. As the party has gained prominence, it's also accumulated a lot of racist baggage thanks to the demographic it's pursuing (people who can be convinced to blame everything on immigrants) and the significant proportion of its candidates who are turning out to be bigoted shits, but they're not so unpalatable (unlike the British National Party) they can't get some token black people on their platform.

The hatred for Romanians is a pretty recent thing - Romania joined the EU recently, and the right wing was stirring up a lot of poo poo about an invasion of Romanians that never happened. This in turn got mixed up with increasing anti-Gypsy sentiment thanks to some much-publicised conflicts involving traveller communities. The term Roma has only really become recognised in Britain in the last few years.

e: see below. They've got a lot of gently caress-the-poor conservativism sneaking in under the radar, but the dirty foreigners are their main public platform.

Some guy said something that wasn't true I guess. That's enough to disregard everything he says about everything. YOU CANNOT TRUST SNELL!

Pretty boring front page. Your typical 'don't give money to other countries. Also pretty hypocritical as they want to slash most of the social net but bitch about the cost of living, but it's the back that's pretty hilarious.

loving SNELL again what horrible lies is he willing to say to keep his £22,000 a year job?!?!? Also what is Labour doing putting things out with gold fringe blue when we all know that's Tory colours?

Also what is up with penguins flocking together? I'm not expert but I thought it was flying birds that 'flocked' penguins are in colonies or something?
