Wait... hold on. I'm pretty sure Wormbama showed up to this one. Checking the video, she literally asked him questions and he responded. What the gently caress is Ramirez trying to say here? Also, I doubt she's ashamed of a comedy video of her eating cereal in a bath tub from 4 years ago with almost 10 million views. It'd be like making fun of Hank Green for posting a video of him humping the Google street sign. It's a thing they did, and shared because they thought it was funny. It's not an attack to bring it back up just because it offends the sensibilities of the right wing shill.

What the gently caress is Ramirez trying to say here? I was thinking about how completely baffling this cartoon must be for people who not only do not keep up with current talking points but also are not well versed in talking points from 2012 that everyone else thought was laughable and sad (and allegedly, for one Romney adviser, vomit-inducing) but that conservatives are somehow proud enough to keep putting forward as some kind of significant commentary.

Hey does anyone have the original page from Ted Rall's Year of Loving Dangerously that Rorus Raz photoshopped to make the face in my avatar? I'm on my phone and all I can find is the photoshopped one.

Similarly common is Obama being a tyrannical monarchic despot who is imposing his will on America.

Mellow Seas posted:So, Bors posted on twitter a comparison of this Ramirez from 2007 and a Jim Borgman (haven't seen him in this thread, but he's the man behind slightly less awful version of "Dustin", "Zits") that he is pretty sure came first. If Ramirez did steal the joke, he tried to obfuscate it by changing it to be completely incoherent. Adam and Eve already bought an SUV and are being tempted by a gas pump to...? I think he wanted to make the opposite point as the original (per #2 on your list) but in classic Ramirez fashion didn't think through the visual metaphor at all. You'd think it might have occurred to him at some point when he was meticulously inking all that foliage.

I thought it was yet another reference to Eastwood doing that awkward and embarrassing empty chair routine at the RNC way back in 2012. Is the empty chair thing a meme that dates back before that event?

I typed "FBI anti-Muslim hate crimes" into google and got this article. I guess 160 recorded crimes and a probable 3,000 crimes aren't "mass" enough to meet Tinsley's definition? I mean it's sad that at least one person was beaten to death in America for their Muslim faith, but is it really that sad? Bruce Tinsley doesn't think so.

So uh is there a specific article I'm supposed to read on the FBI's website? Because I typed "anti-muslim backlash" into the search bar on FBI.gov and got more than 100 incidents EDIT: beaten.

From the FBI's hate crime statistics, 2001: hatecrime01.pdf posted:Another noticeable increase in 2001 was among religious-bias incidents. Anti-Islamic religion incidents were previously the second least reported, but in 2001, they became the second highest reported among religious-bias incidents (anti-Jewish religion incidents were the highest), growing by more than 1,600 percent over the 2000 volume. In 2001, reported data showed there were 481 incidents made up of 546 offenses having 554 victims of crimes motivated by bias toward the Islamic religion. You hack. gently caress you.

Wait. Wait. Hold up a moment here. Let me just figure out the rules. So the talking duck reporter interviews the unicorn and the unicorn says that he's often mistaken for [thing which the comic says does not exist]. The joke is that [thing which does not exist] looks like [thing which the comic says does not exist]. But. But! The unicorn is right there. He's saying the things. He's THERE. He EXISTS. He is IN THE SAME UNIVERSE. HE'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DUCK. THE UNICORN IS REAL. THE DUCK IS INTERVIEWING HIM. The unicorn MUST be real- to the duck- because the only way the comic works is if the duck reporter is also real. So the punchline isn't [thing doesn't exist], it's [deny thing exists even if it is right in front of you and it is obvious]. The only way that the duck reporter's comic makes any sense is if the duck is counting on everyone being exactly as deep in the denial of reality as he is.

All I can remember is his "knockout game" cartoons and it makes me genuinely angry. I always thought Tinsley was bad but it just seems like lately he's become absolutely intolerable.

Seriously, her speech fell into Muirese word-salad territory after her teleprompter broke, and after the fact she brought up some other speech from 2004(?) where she claims the teleprompter broke (it didn't, as other people can still see the many,many prompters she was looking at and read her speech) as proof of....something. Also, Palin is an idiot.

"The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country." Its readers typically skew right wing, old, mean and selfish. Mac's in his element there. On the subject of British comix, the Rowsons have been getting pretty table-breaking recently. Any chance they could be resized or timg'ed?
