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

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.

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

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?".

i don't even understand why the right wing has such a problem with global warming, like even if the stats are made up, why is helping the earth bad?
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 23 January 2010 00:40 (fourteen years ago) link
because rightwingers have been running on denialism and oppositional politics for decades now. If the dirty fucking hippies are fer it, they're agin' it.
Also, because much of them can't or won't think in systematic ways. Plus, they think that much of it is just scare-mongering by hippies and libruls who hate america and successful american businesses.
It's completely about narrative, and jack-shit about actual science. And there's dozens of more reasons why.
― kingfish, Saturday, 23 January 2010 00:43 (fourteen years ago) link
"Find out why helping the earth is taking money out of YOUR wallet, after this commercial break"
Also I don't think man-made global warming has been proved. And I've seen a lot of people post things like "should we all hold our breath to prevent global warming?" and they always talk about how we are having colder temperatures over the past couple years.
As idiotic as these things are, they still have an argument to cling to (unfortunately).
