    I’m so confused. Who could possibly think these are bad things?

          I loved this bit and how accurate and hilarious it still is. But must admit I’m a huge fan.

          Especially ‘Luther’ the Anger Translator had me in stitches. Just rewatched and still laughing after all those years.

      The upbeat background music is killing me in this video, but I also can’t help but think that MGT is saying these things with a positive voice inflection. Like, this isn’t the wind-up to a “AND THIS IS BAD” shoe being dropped at the end of her cadence. I’m fully surprised at how benevolent her tone of voice is here in describing anything about Biden given her other howler-monkey tendencies.

        I detected a hint of sarcasm / sneer in her tone at “urban problems”, but yeah, she really lacks any self awareness at all.

      If you say people and companies are ‘woke’ then you hate all these things.

              Yea, the lack of judo flipping these things culturally always surprised me. Seems so easy to do but nobody does it. These groups rely on strong actions, behaviors and beliefs. That’s why when one does it they all have to. Like flying flags. Culture jam and gas light them about their identity would be the funniest thing. Take that one idiot that harasses target stores over lgqtb. There is nothing that stops people from also making memes of him reinforcing things like respecting each other and other cool messages to treat LGQTB community with love

              Weebles are only meant to wobble. Do not shake the weebles. They will become frightened.

      Someone who was paid to read things written in English phonetically without understanding what the clumps of syllables actually mean.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
