G-8 Caption Contest

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Today, the G8 came, saw, and wrote down a bunch of meaningless promises on paper as it does every several months (spoiler alert: more printing). They also posed for photos, such as this one. We leave it up to readers to provide the context.

Vain and depressed humans attempt to distract themselves from an impending feeling of doom by watching televised sporting events.

Hmmm... that's not funny either.

Unable to find a moment of true joy in empty lifetimes full of deception and murder, the lost souls grasp at any distraction that might relieve the pain of their existence.

"G8 watches the live telecast of the Chicago riot police as they crack a 77 year old woman over the head with a baton and drag her by her hair to a nearby tree where they taz her 17x until she's unconcious and then handcuff her to the tree. It was reported that 2 officers pulled there pants down and pissed on her while she was tied to the tree and still unconcious.  Reportedly the old woman unnerved the cops because of a sign that read Outlaw Property Tax, I don't want to lose my home."

Photographers were present at the G8 for the historic moment when the cenral banks announced that there was no more kicking the can with printing, currency swaps, fake bond auctions and buy backs, or fake promises of austerity measures.

the context is a penalty shoot-out, following a dismal match where nothing has been decided.  the g8 splits into two taking four penalties each for which non-core European countries are booted out of the Eurozone, Cameron has just realized he is core Europe and can create the ECB as another non-core European country and can kick them out of the Eurozone as well. The result: the core European countries can survive and win the wealth of the non-core and the non-core countries are now penal colonies for the bankrupt/non-tax-payers.

Are you serious? Who is this guy Gregory Mannarino? Does it bother you that a google search finds nothing substantial about this guy. The Lulu book site that he attached to the video has an about the author section that describes him as a financial insider, but gives zero info on any financial connections or background or education. Odd that Amazon lists an early book by this guy on how to win at black jack. HUSTLER FRAUD maybe?

Narcissistic sociopaths cheer in the conference room after they all agreed to continue their Ponzi scheme.

 

As they face one of the most challenging times in modern history, the world 'leaders' shamelessly prefer to spend their time watching a sports game during this important meeting.

 

Other than entertaining themselves for an afternoon, the so called leaders also spend some time talking about important issues.

Makes me also wonder if they had shown this if the other finalist had been Barcelona, as they quite surprisingly lost in semifinals. Wouldn't that be an irony, EU's best team would have been come from Spain...
