"Get a Brain! Morans": Word is out

The Dissent of Man

Tuomas really makes this thread! It is a delight.

Suggest Permaunbannable!

I love how the photo is EVERYTHING bad about America all in one place: icky summer clothes, fat ankles, mirrored pseudo-Vuarnet shades, people wearing flag shit, spelling errors and misplaced patriotism. All worn by what appears to be an off-duty Embers management trainee.

i dunno it was missing america's smug expatriate self-hatred of its own working class until now

one of the all-time great ilx exchanges, RIP +++++

definitely an all time zingbombarooski

Has this guy ever surfaced anywhere since this photo was taken?

this is one of my favorite threads, it's really got it all

That Patriotic Descent picture will show up on all sorts of I Love NFL threads over the next season. It is too perfect for anything dealing with Bill Belichick or the Patriots.

wow. for a sec i thought he may have done that intentionally.

looool

kind of a long-winded, awkward zing anyway, moraon

xpost my first reaction was the same, but then i realized, no, he didn't have enough paper/brain to make a right one.

^^ Classic!

What that really needs is someone holding a sign saying "Where's the Birth Certificate" ...

(oh, wait..)

Why didn't Republicans turn Get A Brain, Morans Man into a Joe The Plumber type?

Moran, a female Irish Quidditch player in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

The Moran Family Foundation supports innovative programs that promote healthy development of at-risk children and at-risk families whose lives are impacted by the challenges of poverty.

omg

so the "Get a brain! Morans" guy is actually clever and we are the ignorant ones

he sure fooled us

on the other hand he gave us some of the greatest ilxor-on-ilxor zings of all time so thanks dude who weirdly looks like my uncle if he had long hair

okay my research is unfruitful, this guy may actually be an idiot, please continue

Apparently he was part of a contingent of pro-Iraq War demonstrators at a peace rally.

i think my family are members of the moran family foundation

get a plane, moran

You guys! I can't believe you've fallen for such an obvious piece of image manipulation! "Get A BRAIN! MORANS" and "Go USA" is not what the guy's signs were originally saying, they've been photoshopped. Here's the original, untouched picture:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/lixnixn/moranis.jpg

The man is actually protesting against the disrespectful parody of Darth Vader in Spaceballs. And "OSA" stands for "Organized Starwarsfans of America".

How do you respond to the criticism of Tony La Russa, that he has a history of enabling steroid users, both in Oakland and St. Louis?

He has a history of enabling your mom. Interview over!

LOL

suggest ban nation

He hates that photo so much (sueing the photographer), he has it as his profile picture on Twitter.

"enabling your mom" is all-time

What do you mean by "the little things"?

For a perfect example, just look at one of the greatest teams ever assembled: the 2006 World Champion St. Louis Cardinals. That team had David Eckstein, Yadier Molina, So Taguchi, and Aaron Miles. That's a Jew [sic], a Mexican [sic], a Chinaman [sic], and a regular American. It was a variable [sic] "League of Nations" of doing the little things. They hustled like all get out, they bunted all the time, and they weren't afraid to move the runner over. And most important, they got it done in the clubhouse, by which I mean, they created something I refer to as "a winning atmosphere."

this is... this is wau

This can't be real, can it? For one thing isn't the That's a Jew [sic], a Mexican [sic], a Chinaman [sic], and a regular American bit part of an Archie Bunker joke?

for some, it is a mantra

helluva scoop that interviewer got

Archie: What’s the matter with this? I call this representative government. You’ve got Salvatori, Feldman, O’Reilly, Nelson–that’s an Italian, a Jew, an Irishman and a regular American there. That’s what I call a balanced ticket.
