I know, right?
At first the elephant is all "oh, high there weird bird thing, what do you smell li---OW!! YOU BITCH!! COME HERE, YOU OVERGROWN CHICKEN, I'LL SNAP YOUR NECK LIKE A FUCKIN' TWIG! PECK ME?! HOW DARE YOU!?"
And the ostrich is all "no, no, I flap but I can't fly, heeelp!"

That's what you get when you mess with an elephant.
I spent around 20 seconds in the top right panel of the Superman strip before I realized there's dialog in there too.

Is that dynamite at the bottom of the atheist comic?
Yeah; he tucks in quirky drawings in all his comics... You can see a UFO in the lower-left too. The dynamite and the UFO are the ones I notice most often; he'll also tuck in a piece of cheese I think... maybe some others.
My wife says that it's this kind of stuff that she's excited about having children. She's not the dork that I am, but she can't wait to see me corrupt our children.

My little sister knows some nerdy culture*, but zombies are not a part of what she can easily handle because she gets really scared. We had to stop watching Star Wars because she kept fearing the sandpeople coming into her room at night to attack her.
*Right now, she is a huge fantasy fan, watching The Chronicles of Narnia 1 and 2 almost every day (I'm trying to fix this and get her to watch other stuff too...). She even got a toy shield, dagger and sword this christmas.

I'd follow princess peach on facebook. Probably either be pretty boring or really exciting depending on the day.

Hahah. Reminds me of a skit I saw somewher (can't remember) where God's new secretary is passing on messages. After giving some 'legitimate' messages (like in the email picture) he says "And you must be doing something great for the women of the world. We have over one hundred thousand messages today saying something to the effect of 'Oh god, oh god! Yes, YES YES! PLEASE, don't stop! Oh god! Yes!'"

For someone that works at Hooters, that blonde girl has kind of small breasts.

Despite the name, I've found that it's more about the tiny shorts than the boobs over there. I've only been to 2, but very few of the girls had outrageously big breasts--just regular to small ones. Is she bringing a drink to the protester? Awww.

At the Hooters i've been to ~10 times in San Diego (one i've been told is one of the top national hooters), every gal is extremely tan, wearing copious amounts of makeup, large breasts, and ALL have very trim figures.
I used to love their wings, until I read the nutritional info of 'em.
I always hated how 3-4 different girls would come to your table, write their name on a napkin, and expect a tip and the end of the meal. Reason I haven't been there in a year, and don't plan to.

Well, there ya go. The ones I went to must have been short on breasts. Hell, one of my waitresses there was a 50 year old, leather-skinned, cigarett-y lady with what appeared to be AAAAs... so, negative breasts.

Excellent point. However, in your example the idiots were the white people using the slur and the black guy was the smart one. In the joke posted it was just thrown in there to denigrate people.
Here's the gist of the joke stricken:
Obama and McCain are sitting together. McCain says something like, "Hey! Did you know Stevie Wonder and Oprah had the same nickname in high school?" Obama laughs and says, "No! What was it?" McCain says, "N-." Obama gives a disappointed look.

Yeah, insulting words are way worse then violence... so it's way harder to use them in a funny way, unlike breaking some guys face, which is easily made hilarious...
If you guys said it was disrespectful to Obama or McCain i wuld have just sigh and moved on, but doing it just because a word is too annoying to let go...
Ah. I didn't see the picture in question. Yes, I probably would have laughed despite myself, but that is a little hardcore offensive to be put on public display.

eh, it depends on the crowd you're delivering to. The punchline is more about Obama's disappointed look than the punchline of the obviously racist joke McCain is saying. Chris Rock's 'N-----'s vs. black people is a another example of that actual word being used in a funny way. Then again Chris Rock is black and allowed to use that word. I tend to like sexist jokes, but that's mainly because they're so insanely stupid and cliched that you can't help but to laugh (kinda like that Obama one above). For example: "Go to the kitchen and bake me a pie" never gets old. It's obviously supposed to be satirical of idiots that think racist and sexist jokes by themselves are funny. I guess the actual satire of racist jokes is what I find funny, over the joke itself.

So if i were to modify the image to say "N-" instead?[/QUOTE]
Strangely enough that would work. I know it seems weird but the simple act of acknowledging that the word is bad enough to not type out does not lessen the joke but does lessen the offensiveness.
I see a variety of those fucks around here all the time. Silly hipsters. Though the shutter shades have been co-opted by bro-boy crowd. And goddamnit I love my argyle.

Cross-post between the "Funny Pictures!" thread and "Random Crap" thread, because I want to share this thing with everyone.
I saw this ad as a poster in a hotel around town, and thought it was one of the better print ads I've ever seen (especially considering that it's local). Recently I had a conversation about good ads with a friend, and I desperately searched for this online. Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found. Making use of my recently-learned Harass Strangers Via Unsolicited Emails To Get What You Want technique, I emailed the Newfoundland Liquor Corporation to ask if I could get a digital copy to share through my blog and Facebook.
Here it is. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Joke explanation/exposition inside, for those unfamiliar with Newfoundland
I once met a few Ontarians who were surprised when they discovered that neither myself or my Newfoundlander friends were very good swimmers. Their logic was that if we lived on an island, it would make sense that we would swim a lot. This, of course, does not take into account the fact that we are an island in the North Atlantic, where ten minutes in the water in the 'wrong' time of year could kill you, and ten minutes in the 'right' time of year is at best 'uncomfortable.'
Add to this the fact that we have an impossibly rocky shoreline that would kill swimmers and surfers alike, were they to venture into the water anyhow, and the idea of a Newfoundland Surf Team takes on an absurdly comical flavor.

Well, it's both, sort of. Many will swear only by the homemade stuff (which I must regretfully admit to never having tried), but the professionally bottled stuff is pretty good. And it's a pretty big deal, too. The Newfoundland Liquor Corporation is the only provincial liquor board in Canada that has retained it's right to continue bottling alcohol, basically because there was fear that letting it go to a private company would lead to a lowering of quality in the product.

So are you telling me that my local LCBO will not carry this brand of rum?
Bummer. I don't even drink much hard alcohol anymore, but that's a bottle I'd like to have on my shelf.
Not sure. I have heard tell of 'Newfoundland Stores' in Ontario that carry bits of Newfoundlandia, although I'm not sure they would be able to carry hard liquor.
Were I in a better financial situation right now, I'd gladly send you up a bottle
Man, he was literally trying to walk on air... wth?[/QUOTE]
I think he's trying to do that little run up the wall and then back flip off it, but he starts the run up just a hair too soon.[/QUOTE]
If you watch carefully, you'll see his first foot against the wall slips significantly. It could be he didn't run into it correctly, but I'm thinking it's the spiderman pajama footies - just way too slippery dude.
But I fully endorse full-body pajamas with footies. Just not in situations where grip is critical.
My grandfather had a better way for getting out of tickets and it was totally legal. He was a medical doctor and they gave him doctor liscense tags. He never ever got pulled over after getting those.
One of his friends kept an old bag of blood on the back seat so he could tell cops he was transporting that and the cops would let him go and usually offer him an escort as well.

Before I noticed the Street Fighter reference, I thought the joke of the picture was an honest New Jersey exit sign. Anyone who's tried getting anywhere in Jersey (besides out) knows what I mean.
