Tiger face on this one means it's a joke. Also he says so in his description. So no it never was about women's rights.

I figured when he said it was a joke he meant it in a "it's funny because it's true" way.

The comments in this one are fantastic. Dozens of people tripping over themselves to smugly throw out outdated facts about an industry they obviously know nothing about. I'll bet if you asked a single one of them to tell you what percentage of the rough stone trade De Beers is actually responsible for, they couldn't tell you.

Don't get me wrong, the diamond industry is a hive of scum and villainy, but [strike]because they're a fashion item generally associated with women[/strike] for some strange reason jewelry raises more passionate ire and condemnation from the imgur/Reddit crowd than other products with similar markups and shady histories.

But no, please tell me more about how diamonds have ridiculously inflated prices, benefit from slave labor and lovely environmental practices, and don't have any real value as you drink a six dollar mocha.

Also popular among black people too, so you can use it to attack both them and women.

"My pointless prank resulted in me panicking and buying cake for the entire school! Bow down and worship my name, mortals! I am like a god unto thee!"



A father projects his own insecurities onto his family, abandoning them emotionally to pursue his own selfish interests. It's rare to see an Imgurian be this self-aware about their own childish behavior and emotional immaturity. Hopefully, now that they recognize their problem they can grow as a parent and a person.



"I am literally too dumb to feed myself and my girlfriend is a surrogate mother. This is funny and not the least bit depressing or pathetic."



Betty calls 911 because the butcher is clearly having a stroke.



Please get help for your father. It sounds like he's going through some stuff.

Sometimes when i'm bored, i run an elaborate simulations in my head pertaining to a situation that have higher odds of happening in day today life. I like to prepare myself with readymade just heat and eat type responses. And in order have a control group i post it in a meme form and check its credibility by going through the comments. If it leans largely on the positive side, i polish the aforementioned statement further and just wait till such an event actually takes place. It can be used as an icebreaker or just to lighten up a dull boring daily routine.

I get the joke. It just isn't funny because it makes no sense for someone to speak like that.

"Could I get some beef, Paul?"

"NO BLACK BETTY HAM OR LAMB"

I mean, best case scenario, the butcher is weirdly curt and pushy with his customers:

"No [beef], black Betty. Ham or lamb?"

But it really should be "No beef today, black Betty. Want some ham or lamb?"

But that doesn't match up with the song at all. Plus, Betty is wondering why she's going to a racist butcher that runs his store so poorly that he runs out of beef.

It's a complete failure of a joke.

I'm not specifically calling you out (or even saying its negative at all), just making a general observation, but some of my favorite posts are the ones where someone points out that they aren't even using the meme properly. It's just the next level of pointing out grammar mistakes in their lovely posts.

That's not a joke, that's an observation, plus you got it backwards anyways as the Maximoff's first appeared in the early 60s.

I thought there was like one swastika drawn in poo poo on the bathroom walls and one occurence of some random off-campus guy yelling "friend of the family" from a passing car.

If you're gonna fire someone over a single poop swastika, it should probably be the janitor rather than the president.
