i feel so liberated

marketing guys from Plan B paid h1ghl1ne to put vinyl stickons on their bathroom mirrors advertising their product for our new year's eve party, which i thought was about as cynical as you can get

I'm starting to wonder, am I missing something? It's just a "morning after" pill, right?

venn diagram is right. then "responsibility" and "family planning" could be in BOTH categories!

(omissions meant to imply that plan b is pretty irrelevant to self-esteem and reputation, not that they are mutually exclusive)

I'm starting to wonder, am I missing something? It's just a "morning after" pill, right?

That's all it is, but it allows women to have sex without any consequence whatsoever, thus turning them into drunken whores.

well technically they could still become diseased whores...we can only hope they will pay

Right wingers are willing to stop their campaign against Plan B if they can get that Slut Stoning bill passed through Congress.

if only all women becoming drunken whores was so simple.

We want to apologize for the offensive, distasteful and completely humorless joke that was made and acknowledge the grave error in its production. We cannot begin to express how apologetic we are for everyone who has been hurt by our comic and its implied message.
We do, however, believe that something positive can come from this ugly mistake and hope that we, as members of the Notre Dame community, can take this as an opportunity to readdress the complex issues surrounding homosexuality and its treatment on our campus. Intolerance of homosexuality is a major problem on Notre Dame's campus. We tried to address it in our comics — using the tool characters to emphasize a mindset that we simply find ridiculous. In our last comic, we had the human character, our voice of reason, not understand the joke because of its absurd nature. Reasons, however, are not excuses. We consistently try to write comics that rely on shock value and now that we have gone too far, we realize that we have abused the privilege and responsibility of contributing to the Observer, and therefore, the Notre Dame community as a whole. This is not a joke that should have been made either in private or public. Poking fun at someone's identity in such a discriminatory manner is not funny. We wholeheartedly apologize for our comic and are aware of and truly sorry for the hurt that it has caused.

Yeah, that "defense" is even more batshit. They should have gone with "we intentionally made the character who made the comment a literal tool" instead.

"we had the human character, our voice of reason, double-fisting colt 45 bottles" ?

"also, some of our best friends are gay and they're not that mad"

I don't even understand that bolded sentence. If you didn't understand why not ask the people who wrote it? I wonder how much shit you could get in their paper just by having retards as editor?

Intolerance of homosexuality is a major problem on Notre Dame's campus. We tried to address it in our comics

thanx 4 addressing that major problem

They might have been able to get away with that joke had the human character said "you're a tool" and the saw said "well DUH"

oh who am I kidding, totally indefensible on every level; this is the most hamfisted, idiotic thing I've seen on a college campus in a good long while

I don't even understand that bolded sentence. If you didn't understand why not ask the people who wrote it?

not sure if you're aware that that sentence was written by the ppl who wrote the comic

i wish there was an internet archive of offensive college newspaper cartoons. We seem to have a new one every four months for the last 6 or 7 years

Ha, sorry I thought that was from the editor not the

hi dere is disturbingly skilled at coming up with escape tactics

this is an unfortunate side-effect of learning at an early age how to say whatever offensive thing pops into your head without getting into too much trouble

also I think I see what it was they thought they were doing, but the gulf between concept and execution is so staggeringly huge that it's sort of amazing in and of itself

more likely the gulf is there because it wasn't actually what they thought they were doing

If they weren't attempting to lampoon or deflate that stance, why is the character saying it a tool?

likes to fix things

hahaha

i just noticed its got a popped collar

Is the tool drinking straight out of a bottle of Malibu?

because its "hilarious and wacky" to have "inanimate objects" "acting like people" just like on "adult swim" or whatever other "not that funny internet cartoon" these "college kids" are "watching"

"speech" marks

In our last comic, we had the human character, our voice of reason, not understand the joke because of its absurd nature.

no. morelike, the human character says "no idea" because that's how your supposed to respond to a joke. the joke teller gives the set-up in the form of a question. the straight man expresses his (real or feigned) ignorance by saying something like "I don't know, what?" or "I give up". then comes the punchline. calling the human character the "voice of reason" is obtuse as saying the true meaning of a knock knock lies in the line "who's there?".

(the true meaning of a knock knock joke, that is)

knock knock
who's there?
EXACTLY

if the point was to see the human reaction it would help if the human's reaction was shown

lol HI DERE

2011, start a new thread!

Hurry up with 2011, I have some Lisa Benson doozies to post.

picked up this book at a used library book sale:

You have to sift thru a bit of university leftist speak, but it does a great job deconstructing the use of symbols in political cartoons.
