Ok, I can see the use for a noise cancelling microphone. But maybe make it look less like a ballgag

This was photoshopped onto a stock photo by the company selling this.

Also there's no good demographic to pick for the muzzle-- every single one is going to sketch someone out for very good reasons because the human instinct to see a muzzle and immediately go "nope" is there for a reason-- but picking a black dude next to a "You Win!" screen carries a specific :kstare: subtext.

There's no need to speak. You must only concentrate and recall all your past life. When a man thinks of the past, he becomes kinder.

Yeah, they made it carry troops way before it was ready. In a sane country people would be in prison.

Now it's just, like, regular helicopter dangerous.

when in doubt, the answer to "is this thing racist" is either "yes, on purpose" or "yes, but not on purpose", like subtext of a muzzled black dude is not exactly deep and mysterious

No no I really want to hear about how complex and inscrutable this social mystery is to them. Surely they wanted a good faith discussion in the Funny Pictures thread.

And again I prefaced my statement by saying any person wearing the muzzle would have looked hosed up-- because it's a loving muzzle-- it's just that a black dude carries a specific connotation. And intent largely ends where execution begins, so no that doesn't therefore follow that I'm saying the company is racist. I'm saying they made a stupid ad with bad connotations. So don't @ me trying to make your subliteracy someone else's problem.

All hail the queen!

You'd think no one would be that stupid, but you'd be wrong. It was always a tradition in my orchestra after that term's concert that we'd have a bagel party the next class day (orchestra was always 1st period at 7:25am, so it made sense, and the concerts were always a few days before the end of term and no one was going to focus and dive into the new pieces).

One of the dumbass bass players did this and bled all over the drat place.

After that the orchestra director was forbidden from bringing knives to class and we were stuck using a completely inoperable (and dull) guillotine device that locked the bagel in a plastic box so no fingers could be anywhere near it.

One of these things:



EDIT: Oh poo poo it's actually called a bagel guillotine:
