What can one say about this new iraqi TV channel poster?



Big Brother is Watching You

[Kirby]

Oh thank god, when I read the subject I thought there was to be a new sequil for that terrible Arrow Smith game.

Well, is that what the poster really says or is that a off hand comment you made about the big ass I watching the TV screens?

[J m HofMarN]

I suppose that's for the US mouthpiece, I believe the name translates to "the free" but I cant remember the Arabic for it at all. It looks rather odd but I'd like to know what the poster says.

[Slade]

Well, I don't speak any language but English fluently. I'm dreadful in spanish, but I have the basics of that one, I know no Arabic. But that can't be big brother, there's no mustache! Although that is a nicely shaped eye. If I had to be watched by any creepy ubiquitous and metephorical governmental figures, I'd prefer that over a grinning dictator. That has more of the "robots are going to enslave you" look too it. Although it looks like a caucasian face, so that's probably a bad idea, propaganda wise. People don't like to be hit bluntly in the face with the fact that someone else is controlling them. Hmm...

Edit: Revolution... X!

You know, Slade, we could debate about what that eye means endlessly, or we could get down to the reall issues, so let's stop beating around the bush, shall we?

[Slade]

Very well. I accept your challenge. Bring it on.

[J m HofMarN]

No, sir, I will not have that, I am not the challenger. You challenged me every time you comitted heinous outrage against not only me, but the entire world. You know of what I speak. You know what abomination you do, thinking that none would ever force you to defend your defilement of our societal mores. I speak, of course, of your habit of having the buttered side of your bread facing skyward when everyone knows that the buttered side should be facing down.

That's not the new world order. That's just the USA building up strategic postions in the middle east for 1) oil 2) military positioning


The new world order will be a ONE WORLD ORDER. Christians call him the anti christ. And other people call him other things, like....tim.

Then we will have ordered genocides to control world population, the weak will be killed, the poor will be put to work, the enviroment will be on the verge of death, every thing will be controlled, and worst of all, ticket master booths will sell out in less than 1 second, leaving you virtually no time to buy one fricken ticket! Damn I wanted to see Weezer, curse those line up hounding freaks!!!! U2 seats went in like 3 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course you realize, this means war...

How I butter my bread is my own concern,
for buttering bread is a choice left to the learned.
I'll butter it down, I'll butter it up,
I'll butter it while I stand on a paper cup.
I'll butter it whereever whenever I please,
Or sometimes I won't and I'll ask my friend Jeaves.
For I am should decide the fate of myself,
for who knows better than I, not someone else!
I wish not to be higher, or lower, or between,
just to be allowed to paint butter green,
and sail to the moon on ten tons of flax
and eat toast in my car while it's being waxed.
So I spake, so I spoke, so I said to a Turk
while eating a hamburger covered in Gurk,
a mighty fine substance that seems to taste
much better spread thin-side-down to waste
not a single crumb, like if spread thin-down-side
or Heaven forbit, side-down-thin-wide!
And so for a time my food was saved,
I could eat how I wanted, I was no slave
to the passion of fashion of ones such as he
who would greet me with hate and assert authority!
Then Lo! over mine eyes came a cloud
of someone saying I must butter my bread way-side-down!
"What gives you this right that you may say what you please?"
I asked the odd fellow (who stifled a sneeze).
"A wisened old turtle" this man replied.
"With a brain the size that an elephant is wide!
He said 'By royal decree of all that I see
that you must obey all orders from me!
For I have the height and I have the power
and all you all have are pitiful flowers!
So for all of you fools who look at me now
I order you butter your bread way-side-down!'"
But such a phenomenally bizarre command
to butter one's bread or face repremand!
Why must a king interefere with my habits
when I serve him loyally just as all the rabbits?
And if not, what of it, what right does he have
to march in here and say "I'm king of this land?"
I do not see him as wise nor do many,
and all he will do is make enemies.
Nay it is better to leave us in peace,
and not worry if we butter bread how we please.

[J m HofMarN]

you may say that buttering bread up is your way
you may say it on just about any given day
but I myself am not such as you
and refuse to butter as you do
I will butter my bread from beneath
by moving my knife to and fro
this is the dictum of my wise chief
and he reall really aught to know
because he's been buttering bread like that
ever since Babe Ruth first went to bat
and do you think that such a man
really accepts the upside butter plan?
it's lunacy to believe in such hysteria
he puts the butter in its proper area
not like you at all, if he did that I'd be mad
I hope I never fall, and behave like you cads
if I were like you I would be terribly sad
for I would be buttering in a way that is bad
you do not know that buttering the top side of bread
is a way to make it soggy and get crumbs in your bed
but butter side down is the way to true bliss
all the butter is pulled down and nothing's amiss
it makes perfect sense if you have physics propensity
the butter is more dense and the bread has less density
I'll explain it so it can even be understood by an oaf
a stick of butter weighs more than a slice from a loaf
so why should the slice go ontop of the stick
unless you mean to switch them very quick
and put the stick under the slice where it wants to be
and we can all share properly buttered bread and be free
if you only saw the error of your ways
you'd fire jeeves and hire my butler dave
for dave is smart and clearly knows knows
where the devil it is that the butter goes

But if bread dense is dense
and butter dense is denser,
then butter breaded side down
would be sold at Spencers.
And since butter drips
and air rises up
your butter will fall
and you'll look like a yup!
Unless you would want all your butter in the floor
then I suggest you side up butter your bread - it's no chore!
You just place the knife on your loaf just like so
and scrape off the butter and away you go!
No more dripping and dropping and dropping of butter
with the money you'll save, you could buy a putter.
But don't butter your bread in the same way as I
if you do not want to, it's not like you'll die,
or transfigure yourself into a demon of Hell
bent on the destruction of those feeling well.
I have no quarrel with your back-assward ways,
it's the way you would try to make everyone slaves
to a misguided ideal that you must liberate
us from ideas that we think are quite great.
A great man once said, as he rode in a trolly
"I may think your idea is very much a folly,
but I will defend to the death your right
to think what you want without fear of might!

[barend]

oh... STOP THAT!!!
