I honestly can't tell if they're trying to make that joke or not.

Am I the only one thinking that a Victorian probably made it?

Colour television wasn't invented until 1953.

How do you know when colour TV was invented. Better yet, why do you know?

South Australia's new tourism ad is the weirdest thing ever. Am I the only one thinking that a Victorian probably made it?


Did we really need the foot and bug close ups? Yuck.

Easy answer: The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II was one of the very first things ever televised in colour.

There's a distinction between broadcasting colour television and recording film in colour. Colour film pre-dated colour television, as evidenced by this footage of D-day.


MeechMunchie 06-01-2013 10:38 AM

Well, if we're splitting hairs here, a) Queen Victoria died in 1901 and b) YouTube didn't launch until 104 years later.

Wings of Fire 06-01-2013 10:43 AM

So more like Edwardian, then?

Bullet Magnet 06-01-2013 03:45 PM

Now I want to know what Queen Victoria's YouTube channel would have been like.

This thread bothers me because I can't tell who is joking and who's simply ignorant.

I was this >< close to blogging that and being reprimanded as a post-stealing imbecile. Again.

Instead, I'll make the man look even better by juxtaposing him with this grotesquery.

Just a shame the woman was cosplaying as Neelix, of all people.

Bullet Magnet 06-03-2013 10:40 AM

She's clearly dressed as Jadzia Dax, you noncom nincompoop.

On the subject of women, and informative poster, it really helped me out.

OOoooh.

Bullet Magnet 06-04-2013 04:27 AM

I'm not sure if this is a joke or real. I've met people who actually didn't know that some of the things they wanted to do was rape, and had to be informed.

Since men are usually the rapists it's largely a male responsibility to stop rape from happening, both oneself and those around you. It should not be entirely the role of women to not get raped. That just gives wankers even more reason to blame the victims for what happened rather than those who actually committed the crimes.

Varrok 06-04-2013 04:29 AM

It's now less funny, because of you.

I would say that it's somewhere in the middle. I think it was probably designed with the specific purpose to communicate to the sort of guys who don't understand what rape is, but using humour to do so.

Jbot123 06-04-2013 02:49 PM

Was that supposed to make sense, ir is it a stupid gay joke? Am I just missing something obvious?

Wings of Fire 06-04-2013 02:57 PM

You don't get it, and that says a lot about you.

OANST 06-04-2013 03:16 PM

Eh. It's just another self congratulating comic white knighting for women. It was eh.

By the way, I based that more on the facial expressions than the text. Without that overly sincere look that every self congratulatory white knight comic has I would have just thought it was a silly comic about a clueless person.

Wings of Fire 06-04-2013 03:32 PM

I did not read into the expression as much as you did and still don't.

I'm not saying the comic is good, I'm saying the level of obtuseness required to not get the joke is off the charts.

OANST 06-04-2013 03:36 PM

Yeah, that's true.

Jbot123 06-04-2013 04:24 PM

I got the joke, I just didn't see exactly if it was supposed to be funny or a parody of bad jokes.

MeechMunchie 06-04-2013 04:50 PM

I wouldn't read too much into it. He doesn't try to be edgy or smart, he's just an office drone who likes to make jokes.

A reference to “penetration” in a speech to parliament caused Israel’s education minister to burst into a laughing fit that went viral on Tuesday on Israeli websites.

Shai Piron, who is also a rabbi, could not get past the first sentence of his address, on a proposed law against smuggling cell phones into Israel’s prisons, before beginning to chuckle.

“Mr Chairman, distinguished Parliament, the aim of this legislation is to deal with a serious phenomenon — the penetration of prohibited objects into prisons,” he said during a late night session on Monday broadcast on the official Knesset TV channel.

He briefly recovered but broke down again over the perceived sexual innuendo when the word “penetration” came up in the text for a second time. Legislators in the hall joined in the giggling.

Struggling to continue, Piron wiped tears from his eyes, took a sip of water — and finally went back to his seat, unable to read on.

He later explained to reporters that he had been caught off-guard by the phrasing in the speech, which he delivered at the last minute after a cabinet colleague was called away.

I don't understand Hebrew either, but the body language is rather amusing.

Here are some truly awful white knighting sexism comics.

I feel dirty.

Nate 06-04-2013 11:38 PM

Are you suggesting that they're awful because they're white-knighting? Or just generally?

His comics are generally awful, but his extremely ham handed way of white knighting brings it down to a whole new level.

Also according to sources that browse a forum that gives a shit about him, he does exploitative art of his female characters masturbating.

So, uh, yeah.

STM 06-05-2013 03:36 AM

How does one exploit a fictitious character?

Can't we all just get aloong?

Fun Fact:That was an actual issue promoting the movie.

STM 06-05-2013 05:13 AM

I suppose it depends in what sense you mean 'exploiting'.
