again, a chimp is not a monkey...and you really think that the author was referencing a theorem????? let say he was, but also forgot that chimps weren't monkeys, he's saying that a beserker chimp randomly typed out the new stimulus bill? and that this is the same chimp that lived in connecticut and ripped a woman's face off? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I get it now. oh wait, I still don't. also you can't tell me that this asshole isn't racist when he makes comics like this as well: http://gawker.com/5155855/ten-master...onas#c10823634 he's also a homophobe and completely unfunny. |

monkeys vs chimps, goose vs. swans, that's not the fucking argument. and yes, i believe it was a direct reference to "monkey at a typewriter" not the entire theorem. again, congress wrote the stimulus package, not Obama. Quote:
a monkey got shot and is in current events, he linked the two. did you see the "Beware of Dog" sign in the cartoon and in the photo of the crime scene in which a domesticated pet monkey was given Xanax, stabbed and shot by police? Al Sharpton linked it to Obama. And the crowd went wild.

I didn't say the monkey thing was racist. I'm just saying I can see how people would take it as such. especially considering that other comic I put up, which is very clearly racist. I'm actually more offended by the mocking of the chimp thing. it's a really sad story that has nothing to do with politics, and I don't get the connection or think it's even remotely clever...or even a joke for that matter. altogether, the guy just comes off as an unfunny jerk. I'm not up in arms about this comic, I'm a little surprised and upset that the artist's been able to keep a job at a newspaper considering the homophobic and racist content of much of his work. and I will not stop with the semantics, I like them! |

Re: Genius Thread II
We are talking about the New York Post. Tabloid journalism at its finest. They want you to be angry at their political cartoons.
Page Six. News Corp. Rupert Murdoch. Fox News. Quote:
and what is sad is that the lady treated the monkey like it was a human.

Re: Genius Thread II
i thought it would have been funny (but still racist) if the monkey or chimp held a flag in his hand saying somethng like GUESS I WAS WRONG, NO WE CANT *dies*
but yeah shooting monkeys, chimps, blacks, whites, presidents is wrong (in most cases lol) comparing blacks to monkeys also is |

Re: Genius Thread II
I'm not going to get into the value of a human's life vs. a chimp's, but the woman was a trainer, you don't know how she treated the chimp. he was a working animal, in commercials and movies and whatnot.
maybe if you listened to the 911 tape of the situation (which I did not do on purpose), you wouldn't take it so lightly. I'm done with this. you think it's fine, I don't. big deal. dude's mega unfunny. and it's sad to me that he's able to make a living at it. |

Re: Genius Thread II
My first thought was that it was calling Obama a chimp. I then thought, hey, that's racist. Then I thought that it doesn't have to be.
Then I thought, the artist probably made it look like it could be racist so that people think it is, then cleverly not have it completely racist so he can say HA I'm not racist. So the artist is a scumbag.

Political cartoons use current events and broad sweeping generalizations to get their points across. did I think it was funny? no did I think it was insensitive? perhaps did I think it was racist? absolutely not. to answer your question, sazi, no I'm not sure. I'm an average reader with an interpretation of the cartoon. it's the NY Post. If the monkey had the word "Congress" written over him in true political cartoon fashion, or if the artist never used the word "stimulus bill" this would never have been an issue. but the mere fact that president Obama is tied to the story, it's a veiled racist attack on the president. PC run absolutely amock.

Re: Genius Thread II
it's a line from a few good men, obviously a movie you haven't seen, otherwise you'd understand the irony behind it and wouldn't resort to hurling insults.
Good movie. Seen it several times. Funny line too. But you're still a fucking idiot just like your parents. -Tony? |

If it were a pic of US and coalition forces dancing around, would it be racist as well? To me, that pic is nothing more than a militia from a different country that's tired and worn of having people around that don't belong there under the command of a warped monkey. Now, a level headed person is speaking of pulling the unwanted people out. Being reasonable at it. Shit, that pic does lack characters of more cultures than Arabic.
