Relevant idiot on social media:

The only person I've ever heard use 'cracker' with any real animosity behind it was my grandfather, an archetypal old rich white southerner. He uses it for poor white southerners, especially ones from Florida, for some reason.

Cracker is an old term for a Florida cowboy. There's a breed of horse called the Florida Cracker because they were used for rounding up the Florida Cracker breed of cattle.

Have some Wikipedia.

They want people to comment on their post so they show up on those people's friends' news feeds. People who don't realize that it's actually a really easy thing to come up with will say "Oranthal James!" and not realize that they've been duped.

The best was when one showed up on my newsfeed where my dad commented on "I love Dubstep"s post "Can you name a fish that doesn't have the letter S in it?"

Advertising. Like those stupid loving "press a button and then comment/like/share and SEE WHAT HAPPENS" ones. They put something up knowing morons will like/comment/share it in droves, then change the name and sell it to an ad agency. Bam. Facebook page pre-loaded with a gazillion likes.

e: Of course the idea has probably taken on a life of its own now and is being posted by morons for giggles.

OBAMA

That last line is the same kind of poo poo Jonah Hill is trying to pull about why he told a photographer to "suck my dick, f*****". He just got SO angry and it came out and he didn't mean it, he's a nice person. You know what? Doesn't matter how angry or upset I am, I'd never call someone that, or the N equivalent. It wouldn't enter my thought process, like redwood tree or Annie Leibovitz or anything else irrelevant to my life.

Each image has its own consistent meaning even if they make no sense. The ~~penguin~~ puffin, for instance is for 'unpopular opinions'.

To be fair, those aren't twilight rip offs. They came out years before twilight (or at least were popular before twilight). I remember reading that in high school. It was incredibly trashy and eventually became unreadable in the later sequels, but it was still better than twilight. At least it had sex.

As it turns out, he's the owner of a roofing business. Someone asked him on Facebook why anyone should use his business when he's such a hateful prick. His response-

Not hiding his name because gently caress him.

Thanks! Sent him a message. I've also seen some pretty lovely comments like "good, as long as he isn't killing children or families, FTP". Okay, like police don't have families, right?

"Employers might still exploit their workers..."

"WHAT ABOUT THE APPLES?!"

"AND THE BANANAS?!"

I think she used the "Sign in with Facebook" option on a review website and now we all get to see the trash she reads. Kind of like when people "like" a porn vid and it shows up on their friends' walls unintentionally, but a bit tamer.
