Yet here we are...

Funny stuff. + 100
I can just see the heading for the last image "You don't have a permit to be here or to release carbon dioxide. Have some pepper spray biatch."
You know the baby boomer generation ridiculed religion, ridiculed protestant work ethic, ridiculed social ethos that survived hundreds of years and your only answer for the disaster that you created is that it’s all Jamie Diamond’s fault or it’s all some politician’s fault. Have you ever considered that it’s just you? William or Tyler Durden? Have you ever thought that it might be your fault?? ALL YOUR GENERATION’S FAULT. YOU.
You ungrateful little shit, the boomers gave you the computer and telecommunications network that you are now using to cry about them at a great distance. And saved you from the "work ethic" of Devil's Island & the gibbet. STFU. Just try, just even try to get laid with that whiny attitude. Girls will beat you up just for wasting their time. You should sue the libtards who put you into debt teaching you this behavior, because they took you for a ride.
Religions are standing by, waiting to save your immortal soul by burning you to death. No thanks, I'll take the computer and math classes. Steve Wozniak is my messiah.
No, is not Jamie Diamond fault. Is not Henry Paulson fault (his family is hostage in basement of GS). Is not Barney Frank fault (or his boyfriend). Is not Frank Raines (no relation to Barney Frank) fault. Is not Glenn Beck fault (he is comedic genius, no!).
No, is fault of Rothschild family.
Have joke for friends...
Riddle - How many is jew to tighten light bulb?
Answer - All of jews, is global conspiracy!
I have Catholic and mormon joke too, but not so funny.
Babushka is complain Boris make anti-semantic joke, but is hear joke from Jewish friend. Boris is so sorrowful and compliant.
Flea market Pete. Sorry but I feel the need to dispute the statements you made on the basis that they lack rational thought...well... any thought actually. A blind instinctual amygdala tirade. Why hang out in a place that gets on your nerves? Or maybe you are drunk!
WB7 you would make a great Aussie or kiwi...we call it 'taking the piss.' Nothing is sacred. It doesn't mean you disrespect it. It means you don't take yourself seriously.
The second moonshot there where the police turned up made me laugh out loud, it did!. I remember when NA landed on the moon. My dad was driving me to school I was 13 and we pulled over and listened to it. You remember things like that!
May all living beings be free from suffering.
Sarco, dat you?
He has a limited capacity for comprehending satire.
The message depicted is outrage at the fast buck ethic that has replaced the old virtues of American engineering might and the can do ethos of way back when. It may have been an illusion, but it was immensely better than the fast bucksterism which has replaced it.
And while the boomer generation bears a great deal of responsibility, the fact is we are too fucking stupid and slow to design the shit that evolved during the past decade. None of those dumb fucking boomer CEOs comprehended any of the shit that wound up on the subprime menu. What they did was say good boys and girls, keep it coming.
Frankly, I have no personal reason to share any blame with those assholes, other than my date of birth. Throw me in the pizza oven.
"We" aren't too slow. "They" got greedy and threw our system out of balance. Look at the chart of real American wages. See the fracture point? So on a sliding scale "we" aren't giving 100% to "their" prosperity at "our" expense. "They" are adjusting to this by importing & promoting the best clowns they can buy, who will follow their statist agenda. Paying Peter to rob Paul, planning to rob Peter later, always skimming all ways.
You see the results all around you. What intelligent, ethical person would willingly give their best to these crooks? They get the best that money can buy, and boy, do they suck.
Its about control.
I considered it, but I hate to disappoint you, it is physically and temporally impossible for it to have been my fault. I spent most of my career waving our flag around the rest of the world. Democracy, free market capitalism, transparency, fairness, property rights, rule of law, yadda yadda... In this respect, my naive sin was the sin of American hypocrisy.
Good night moon, goodnight troll.
"In the great green room, there was a telephone, and a red balloon..."
("There was a red telephone, and a fiscal balloon...")
Banzai, you should do a parody, using bankers/politicians, based on the structure of "Goodnight Moon". Would be hilarious!
My kids made me read it to them every single night when they were little. I almost have it memorized!
Puleeeeeeeeze, Banzai? I'm begging you....
Yeah it's all America's fault. Always everyone else. The boomer's time and America's resources are running thin. Gluttony and hedonism are your sin and it's the next generation that will come to collect.
Go back to your flea market and find a red, white and blue chicken to work on.
So your saying they didn't ridicule Catholic work ethic then?
Riddle - how many Irish Catholic is tightening light bulb?
Answer - no is can find light bulb in drunken stupor!
Riddle - how is many morman to tightening light bulb?
Answer - 10, 2 to be a screw, 8 to bring refreshments (no vodka, so Boris is not so interesting to help).
How many Politburo members to tightening light bulb.
Three. One to hold lightbulb. Two to rotate ladder.
Is at least three, one is think for self, two is conspire, but three is always tattle tell.
Which reminds me of why the Italian carabinieri travel in threes: one can read, one can write, and the third just likes to hang around with intellectuals.
Boris is love Spaghetti and Pizza. Like Lasagna too, but is not know Cabernini.
How many Californians?
Ten. One to do the screwing, nine to share the experience.
Ah, Boris is get joke now! California is voyeur!
How many Chinese Citizenism citizens?
None --- they would rather sit in the dark and then blame the burned-out bulb and lack of light on 'US Citizenism'.
2012 anold glory is in distress: Bill your just plain wicked!
At least one Armstrong is happy in Texas today now that Google searches are not about drugs and doping. Heroes 'aint what they use to be.
It's my belief that in the future, kids will say Lance went to the moon. Sort of the Idiocracy slant. Brawndo has electrolytes.
Then old Neil Young and Crazy Horse will be the man in the moon with some religion backing it up.
RIP Neil Armstrong. May a future generation of fucktards never forget you.
I didn't laugh. I don't think the greatest human achievement of all time should be satirized. Sorry.
Nobody's satirizing the invention of agriculture. (Yet, at least.)
Or was fire the greatest human achievement? I get these things mixed up occasionally.
What are you talking about? No one's making fun of Wikipedia.
Flea are you goofing on Elvis man? Hey baby are we having fun?
If you want to hang your hat on a man on the moon then you will believe anything.
Greatest human achievement of all time, thats to funny, it was semi-fictional at best.
Armstrong had class. But Buzz Aldren was a jealous little bitch.
Remember all of the iconic photos of that mission? (The full frontal view of an astronaut looking at the camera; the side view of an astronaut saluting the flag; etc.?)
The subject of all of those photos was Aldren; none are of Armstrong. That's because Buzz Aldren was pissed that Neil Armstrong was first man on the moon, so he pouted and wouldn't take Armstrong's photo while they were on the surface.
A giant step for Buzz...
Buzz is angry man, punch if Boris ask about moon hoax. Boris dodge punch and Buzz is hitting cocktail girl. But Secret Service is grab Boris and give erect warning to stay far away from Buzz.
Think of the Apollo landing as a National metaphor. Whether it is fiction or not is not the point. Which metaphor do you like better, The Apollo Program or some PhD douchebag explaining how CDOs are incredible risk management tools while his boss is busy schtupping his trophy wife in the Hamptons.
As GnR said "Use Your Illusion"
I prefer to create my own reality these days. Just like you do WB....with your art.
Metaphor is big word for Government Lie.
Known in old CCCP as bolshevik "Krapism"
The strangest press conference ever?
http://www.thedailybell.com/2715/A-Look-Back-Post-Apollo-11-Press-Confer...
The strangest press conference ever?
Yeah. Super weird.
This is a good clip too:
Patrick Moore asks the alleged Apollo 11 crew could you actually see the stars - YouTube - http://bit.ly/PcMuQV
Notice the nervous pen twiddling hands. All 3 of them!
Inconceivably, some mofo has claimed ownership of the above video (I thought it belonged to the American people). Try this one instead:
http://archive.org/details/Apollo11PressConference
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifx0Yx8vlrY
Maybe Serf think Telemetry tape is also belong to American People! Ooops, NASA is forgetting to keep tapes. Ooops, 2006 is finding tapes in detach garage in Australia. NASA is restore Telemetry reader to play back tape. Double Oops, is telemetry tape containing only moon landing simulation on sounding stage. 2009 is not play back any video, NASA engineer is "disappointed". Boris is laughing, cannot keep boiled potato on plate is banging table too hard! See NPR story:
Tape is found in 2006
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5578853
Tape is not found in 2009
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106637066
Boris follow, listen to and rwad NPR like good communist. Boris think "All Things Considered" on NPR like old Stalin radio days. Boris cry.
Boris is not cry. Small girl is crying.
Okay, when Boris is heavy loaded vodka, is sometimes cry. But Boris is solder now.
Serious. Think about it for a second.
The moon landing video tapes are literally the most important thing in the HISTORY OF MANKIND.
Let that sink in for another second or two....
The fact that NASA assigned zero importance to them is the "tell".
American collectivism memory explicitly short... cannot remember Brittany Spears is mohawk crisis and Federline take baby. All is happy, lalalala!
NASA:
Never
A
Straight
Answer!
They didn't have zero importance. It was very important that they be destroyed, otherwise some would have accidentally survived. Careers depended on it.
Maybe everything was stored in Bldg. #7.
And moon landing is so easy to fake that Soviets decided to do same thing, showing pictures of Aleksandrov Ensemble singing on lunar surface while red flag is flapping in breeze ...
Oh but wait, they didn't do that because they liked to keep their spacecraft fueled while they worked on it, and the dumb bastards blew one up, killing 400 people and gutting their program.
Maybe that was fake too. Maybe their sound stage burned down.
