Funny Pictures Thread. It begins again

It could be on every channel, every web site, every radio station, every twitter, facebook, and tumblr feed, and there would STILL be someone in here who "doesn't know what that is." :p

I couldn't tell from the art style if it was going to be preachy or funny.
It's subversion of expectations. It frames itself to be a rational (if perhaps preachy and condescending) argument against a common but arguably unfair social practice that is completely demolished when the subject at hand is revealed to be bathroom hygiene, something any english-speaking adult should be excruciatingly familiar with since childhood.

Yeah, I got that. That was kind of my point. They still got the preachy part in the first 5 panels despite the bathroom joke.

But that's just it, the bathroom joke completely removes any legitimacy the preachy argument part might have had, because it demonstrates that there are, in fact, aspects of civilized life the ignorance of which cannot be handwaved away as blindspots. It is the two-face that undid all the good accomplished by Harvey Dent, with no Batman to take the blame for the poop joke.

What is dead will never die.

I mean, the joke had to be funny before you could kill it.
