And I thought Colin Powell showing fake pictures of WMDs was a UN low point. In the dystopian future, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Erick Erickson will appear before the General Assembly holding up a stick-figure drawing of a guy in a turban with a word balloon that says "GRRR DETH TO AMERICA." Then, Benny Hill music!
Is it common for those leaders who speak English to do so? I wondered if that speech wasn't for American voters. The cartoon bomb is both insulting and astute.
ReplyDeleteWhen does he get the roadrunner?
ReplyDelete...so.... seems a bit lonely here....
ReplyDeleteJust workin' on the template in advance of the big JS-Kit purge. Don't worry. The electrons tell me it's all coming together.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling queasy.
ReplyDeleteI guess I have to use entirely new jokes... sigh. OK, here goes:
ReplyDelete"To those who doubt that we can have peace in the Middle East, this was just given to me by a very polite young Iranian. He said 'Candygram for Mr. Bibi'-- isn't that sweet?"
Not to worry. We'll never run out of dick jokes.
DeleteAll those great Acme/Wile-e Coyote jokes... gone... like tears in the rain
ReplyDeleteNo more likies for comments such as this?
DeleteSad days, indeed.
Wwhut? Not even a th th th that's all folks from our commenting widget?
ReplyDeleteThat was me, aimai.
DeleteAaargh! I get a Word Press name/password, try and leave a comment under that username, and the fucker tells me I don't own that identity! JS-Kit, all is forgiven.
ReplyDeleteLeeds man
Hey! What happened to all the good stuff?
ReplyDeleteSomeone whose accent sounds that much like Boris Badanov's should not appear in public with drawings of bombs that look like something Boris would use.
ReplyDeleteI, for one, welcome our new comments overlords.
ReplyDeleteAlso I kept meaning to say, in the former reality,
a guy in a turban with a word balloon that says "GRRR DETH TO AMERICA." Really? He would have 3 R's? Wow, pretty scary. However it is probably part of his contract with the Adult Diaper makers Association of America.
The general mood over at Freeperville was predictable. A sample (via Tommy T) begins with a quote from Limpballs:
ReplyDelete"Benjamin Netanyahu, who may be the closest thing we have to a Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher today, Benjamin Netanyahu is at the United Nations. He's giving a great speech, and he's now using a visual aid. He's got a picture of a bomb, a circular bomb with a fuse coming out of the top, and he's explaining where Iran is. No interpreter needed for this. He is explaining to the dictators at the UN how it all works. It's fabulous. (laughing) It is great. I've never seen this. I've never seen a visual aid at a United Nations General Assembly major address like this."
Then one of them pipes in: "Someone needs to Photoshop a birth certificate for this man saying he was born here. Then he can run for President."
Another: "*Swoon*"
Y'know, this isn't just disconnect. It's a pathology, the only saving grace of which is its tendency to self-destruction through internal policing. If I thought for a moment that they were in a position to control the direction of the country, I'd be planning my escape.
Okay, can we get our gravatar pictures to appear?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm getting the "you don't own that identity" BS also, too.
ReplyDeleteThe fuck I don't.
Like the new look.
ReplyDeleteYou know, somehow that "Shackletonian missives" line doesn't go so well with this new, modern look. The serious sepia undergraduates were a closer stylistic match to the textual content.
ReplyDeleteDon't misunderstand me. I like both the traditional alicubi line and the new blog layout. I just don't think they look as good TOGETHER as the old pairing did.
But that's just because I'm stylistically PICKY PICKY PICKY.
I don't get the mileage I used to, either.
The portions seem much smaller now, too.
DeleteHuh what?
ReplyDeleteWell, it remembered my name, but no avatar. I was thinking of changing it anyway. the Avatar, not the name.
ReplyDeleteHere, let me try it...
ReplyDeletetesting
ReplyDeleteShit! My avatar don't work neither!
ReplyDeleteLet's try something else...
ReplyDeleteCrap.

ReplyDeleteDelete doesn't work properly, which means lots of "This comment has been removed by the author"s after designated drinking nights. Wonder if it can be replaced by "Leeds man is unwell".

DeleteOK, one more time...
ReplyDeleteOne more more time...
ReplyDeleteDeath to America!
ReplyDeleteThis is not working as I distinctly wrote "I love puppies!"
ReplyDeleteI'm not crazy about the new look. Too washed out. Too calming.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean that I won't be able to recognize Halloween jack anymore? No avatar? This whole thing looks and feels like a skinner box.
ReplyDeleteAimai
Hello? *tap* *tap* Is this thing on? Testing, one... two...three...
ReplyDeleteAhh... OK... "Name/URL works... Let the commenting begin. Cole is right, this joint needs a "like" button
DeleteSpeaking of silly pictures of bombs, I already miss the bombs that punctuate each of Roy's blog posts.
ReplyDelete1,2,3...
ReplyDeleteLikes... where are all my lovely likes? So many moments lost, like tears in rain. Time for JSKit to die.
ReplyDeleteWill he be using your old drawing? Because that was good
ReplyDeleteWow, look so good... I just want to get that for myself and my families. Hope for more new style. rs gold , runescape gold
