----------------------------------- Paul Sun Apr 11, 2004 6:42 pm Woot! Satire! ----------------------------------- I'll start off with gulf wars episode II: clone of the attack http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/graphics/bush_gulfwars2.jpg ----------------------------------- jonos Sun Apr 11, 2004 10:21 pm ----------------------------------- I don't think this is what Dauntless is looking for, I think he is looking for written satire. ----------------------------------- Maverick Sun Apr 11, 2004 10:24 pm ----------------------------------- wow photoshop at its finest ----------------------------------- jonos Sun Apr 11, 2004 10:26 pm ----------------------------------- You're defacing Paul's thread with your needless spam, and these could have been done with Paint or Paint Shop Pro, you'd never know... I just thought that I should post this to make it relevant, that Animal Farm is a great book and everyone should read it if they haven't. It's a satire on the Russian Revolution. ----------------------------------- Dauntless Sun Apr 11, 2004 11:16 pm ----------------------------------- Well try this; some satire I made myself, with my own two hands (plus Photoshop). http://www.members.shaw.ca/rfolz/napoleon.jpg Edit: thanks to short for hosting this one. And I never said I was looking for anything...any satire is good, but I'd hafta say the written is preferred, by me, at least. W00t! I started a revolution. ----------------------------------- jonos Sun Apr 11, 2004 11:33 pm ----------------------------------- Sorry Dauntless, I am the Revolution! :wink: Could you please explain your picture, I don't get it - I'm not too familiar with either of the groups portrayed. ----------------------------------- Dauntless Sun Apr 11, 2004 11:34 pm ----------------------------------- It's just Napoleon..with a taco for a hat. And then I made it into a taco bell ad...cuz he thinks outside the bun..inside the taco. ----------------------------------- templest Mon Apr 12, 2004 12:45 am ----------------------------------- ... EDIT: Hey, this is my shortest post yet. ----------------------------------- the_short1 Mon Apr 12, 2004 12:59 am ----------------------------------- ^ OMG! that is... AMAZING!!! for templest... 3 character post... heheh... anyways... Dauntless.... here....i host... (cuz i have wicked hosting...) an im nice... just tell me when / if u no longer need it.... http://www.members.shaw.ca/rfolz/napoleon.jpg ----------------------------------- Paul Mon Apr 12, 2004 7:59 am ----------------------------------- Haha, I get it, Napolean thinks outside the bun, he conquers the world :D Maybe this first one doesn't fit into the satire category but meh I like it :p you'd get it if you know history. http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/graphics/arnold_power.jpg The next picture: http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/graphics/kerry_bush_soccer.jpg is a fake of THIS: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/forumfun/misc11.jpg which I personally ruins it. ----------------------------------- jonos Mon Apr 12, 2004 3:59 pm ----------------------------------- I think Bush is going to kick Kerry's ass, but... I still don't get the Napolean thing, maybe I'm not looking at it the right way though. Has anyone ever wondered why the Nazis were called the National Socialists (or something with socialists), and they weren't even socialist (to my knownledge). ----------------------------------- Dauntless Mon Apr 12, 2004 4:02 pm ----------------------------------- Well what does that have to do with satire? But I'll indulge you against my better judgement; My understanding is that the Nazis were fascists; fascists were socialists. But it could be that i have it wrong and that the party's name is just a euphemism. And the Napoleon thing? Just take it at face value; its Napoleon wearing a taco for a hat. ----------------------------------- Paul Mon Apr 12, 2004 4:04 pm ----------------------------------- lol thats a long stretch man, the last time an ethnic austrian took power = hitler, hiter in Nazi, so he brought nazi up. ----------------------------------- Dauntless Mon Apr 12, 2004 4:08 pm ----------------------------------- I think that one is cutting it close....that's pretty racist to say that just cuz he is from a country even NEAR Germany, that it basically makes him a Nazi. Even if he was from Germany and they said it...it'd be poor. I'm thinking its generally better to keep racism off our boards eh? ----------------------------------- jonos Mon Apr 12, 2004 4:08 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah, the picture says something about a rightist part, but a socialist would not be a rightist, it would be a leftist. ----------------------------------- Paul Mon Apr 12, 2004 4:10 pm ----------------------------------- Its made by ppl who doesn't want Arnold to be governer, but thats too late. And its at the same time critisizing the bush government or w/e for the economical disaster. ----------------------------------- jonos Mon Apr 12, 2004 4:11 pm ----------------------------------- But if the Nazis were socialist, then it is not an insult towards Arnold, it would not make too much sense. ----------------------------------- Dauntless Mon Apr 12, 2004 4:19 pm ----------------------------------- Sure it would...They're basically saying that Arnold is gonna rule like a fascist just because of his ethnicity. And the "economic meltdown" part is referring to the previous governor parallel to the pre-Nazi government. ----------------------------------- Catalyst Mon Apr 12, 2004 4:53 pm ----------------------------------- dauntless: the nazis were not socialists (even tho its in their name) .that's pretty racist to say that just cuz he is from a country even NEAR Germany hitler was austrian (that was their point) ----------------------------------- jonos Mon Apr 12, 2004 5:00 pm ----------------------------------- That's what I thought, I read somewhere that they were conservative and big with free enterprise and that. Wasn't Arnold [insert last name (can't spell it)]'s father high up in the nazi party. ----------------------------------- Catalyst Mon Apr 12, 2004 5:03 pm ----------------------------------- he was a member of the SA, hitler's stormtroopers otherwise known as brownshirts ----------------------------------- Dauntless Mon Apr 12, 2004 5:36 pm ----------------------------------- Alright, well... a)They're still being racist. There is no b). ----------------------------------- jonos Mon Apr 12, 2004 6:40 pm ----------------------------------- Yes they are, they are saying that just because an Austrian in the early 1900s did something bad, that he will too. Fucking racists. ----------------------------------- Paul Mon Apr 12, 2004 7:23 pm ----------------------------------- Quick everyone go click on the risk map, I just help compsci take over half of alaska. AND WE OWN NEWZEALAND!! AND JAPAN!!! Which means what? we own kiwis and ultra tiny electronics? ----------------------------------- jonos Tue Apr 13, 2004 6:57 pm ----------------------------------- And some awesome anime, and the birthplace of videogames (I think). Bah, maybe some other time.
