gently caress off, it's a staged photo and the whole point of it is irony which often elicits a humored response even if it deals with heavy subjects. Get the gently caress out of anything involving humor if you don't think it can even flirt with social issues.

I had a Public Policy professor that, on the first day, handed out a 10 page "Pre-test" that said in huge letters on the top READ EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.
It started off normally but at a few points it would instruct you to declare to the class "I am going to ace this test!" or "Throw your pencil in the air and catch it" among other things.
At the very end it said, "Ignore everything else. Quietly put down the test and your pencil and sit silently until everyone is finished".

Seemed like a funny way for the professor to figure out who is observant and who do not exercise critical thinking.

This test is communicating poorly then acting all smug when you're misunderstood.

I was given that kind of "test" in 4th grade if you can believe it. Only one kid caught on and turned in the sheet right away. Years later different classmates of mine were pretty angry when they were fooled by it but I wasn't going to a second time.

I believe it, I got a few of those tests from 3rd grade till middle school years. Teachers would usually do them as their first 'quiz' at the beginning of the year to pull a fast one over the new students to kick things off.

I'm surprised they use it in university to be honest, felt more like a novelty thing to me.

I think the idea is that once you get caught by the lolquiz you'll be more careful about reading and following instructions in the future. It's a lesson that just looks like a quiz.

I fell in love with a Video Nasty
I want to say my 4th grade teacher thought he was super clever because like, it was termed "read each question before completing the test" which is plenty ambiguous, and then was filled with stuff we had gone over recently in class, and finished with "Now that you have gone over every question, turn your paper in to me and sit quietly until everyone is finished." I'm pretty sure it was written explicitly to throw off 4th grade intelligence. That he then made sure to point out how smart the one student was for taking the test correctly only hammers this point home to me. What a douche. I ended up good friends with his son in high school and spent a lot of days sitting on a couch in our third friend's basement watching lovely movies and getting high.

no it was the opposite it was more like "first overthrow the government. Next, mobilize for war. If you have done so, then invade Poland. Finally, corral the Jews in labor camps and gas them. If you have read this far, dont do any of the aformentioned stuff, just throw your pencil in the air and say 'heil Hitler'. then wait quietly until 1945."

but no one read that far.

Following the instructions to the letter means to do most of it. The test tells you to read #1-10. Then when you start executing tasks you should start at #1, not #10, and most of the list should be performed.

The test is bad and any teacher uses it is bad.

We had that test too but the teacher worded it as if you were supposed to reach each individual question before answering it, not the whole thing, so a bunch of students pointed out how dumb and misleading it was.

Probably in 1972 that lady left money to a dog charity in her will, and the chairy put the money into an investment fund thing where they don't touch the principal but use the interest for doing dog things. So she's helping to feed 50 stray dogs.

I am unsure, but could it possibly be the fact that it could also mean that they're feeding her body to the dogs?

Do you think that's why?

You know it doesn't say the dogs were alive. Maybe the dogs were in heaven as proven by that one movie about the dogs going to heaven. Maybe she's feeding 50 dogs up in heaven. But why would heaven have stray dogs? Dog is God spelled backwards so you'd think God would take a vested interest in them.

poo poo, there's nothin comical about this at all.
