Another layer of irkage: in the absence of an Oxford comma I’m assuming that it’s supposed to be “humour, nostalgia and wit” of a military nature (rather than some military humour + some nostalgia + some wit). But this is about the police. And as much as they might wish otherwise, police ain’t military.

The most infuriating thing for me is (a) his apology claiming (along with the usual “I’m human and I make mistakes like somehow this” crap) that it was meant to “raise awareness”, and (b) some people claiming that others are taking it “too seriously”, more irksome when they don’t even parrot the “awareness-raising” bullshit.

This is exactly what I’d have said if I’d seen it, so I can’t hate it too much.

Excellent dad-joking.

That reminds me of a letter to Viz, where somebody said they were driving along the motorway and thought they saw Van Morrison in the rear mirror, but turned around and it was just a Morrisons’ Van.

We’ve gone slightly off-topic there

oh god. I’ve been making similar jokes about south wales based transport hire vehicles Barry Van Hire for about 20 years. And I’m pretty sure Hertz Van Rental is due a call up as well :slight_smile:

To be fair this person is performing a public service by letting you know they’re going to continue being an absolute cunt so you can safely ignore them for the foreseeable future.

Also absolutely cast iron guarantee that anyone who moans about people being too easily offended finds it very easy to be offended themselves, whether it’s immigration, gay marriage or bins only being collected every two weeks, etc.

The most annoying thing about this is that it’s not sorted properly into lines.

Also the fact that it’s shit and bad.

So tempted to go to Poundland to buy a bunch of stuff to throw together into some demented costume, and then go round this person’s house insisting that “Hey! It’s me! The Uncle Gordo! Remember me from your family?” and then see how long I can rattle off my classic The Uncle Gordo catchphrases ^ before they figure out I’m only there to steal their pasta sauces and other ingredients.

^ which catchphrases include the following:

  • “Keep watching that news!”
  • “Here! What did you fry these chips in? HUMAN PISS?”
  • “As my old grandpatriarch used to say: just because you’ve never seen something, doesn’t mean that your old The Uncle Gordo couldn’t kick its chuffin’ head in!”
  • “I’m a chimney!”

The person who posted this was a long-term vegetarian who went vegan for veganuary last year and never looked back. He has spent the past 12 months posting similarly intellectual images on his instagram.

to be fair, I’m sure vegans get a lot of shit that I don’t get exposed to because my friends (mostly) aren’t dicks, so maybe that’s where the victim complex comes from but … “war on christmas”??

I’m often baffled by the vitriol that vegans are on the receiving end of. It’s the same kind of rage that some reserve for people on the opposite end of the political spectrum, which is at least kind of understandable according to the warped nightmare-logic of online discourse.

I can guarantee though that no-one will ever change or reflect upon their views at seeing, for example:

MARLON: Hey Roscoe look at that vegan over there what an idiot ahahahaha

ROSCOE: Oh yes har har let us mock him

MOBY: Stop it. I am a vegan because I like animals and meat is made out of animals and to make the meat they have to kill the animals

MARLON: Milk isn’t meat though

MOBY: No but they get the milk out the chickens by cutting them in half with a big axe

MARLON: To be fair, Roscoe that does sound bad

ROSCOE: Yes and I feel like this intolerance was out of character for us

MARLON: We are but ciphers Roscoe. What happens to us between the gaps in this continuity? I have begun to consider this. Try to think what happened yesterday.

ROSCOE: You’re overreacting. Why, yesterday – … we… yesterday… I … why can I not remember? What is happening.

MARLON: Our world is in disarray in a kind of metaphysically structural sense or something

MOBY picks up his mobile telephone

MOBY: Hey my friend David Lynch, I’ve got that new thematic concern you’ve been looking for

DAVID LYNCH: I like the Back to the Future reference Moby
