Never said it was true, just said it reminded me of it.
Yes, I am bluffing.

I didn't find this offensive so much as puzzling.
I had to go into Wal-Mart to get some stuff for Thanksgiving and every TV in the store was showing adds for Wal-Mart's black Friday sales and hosting the adds was a stereotypical loud black man, and I have to ask why?
I mean because the day has the word black in it you have to have black man yelling and using poor grammar????
Is this really how things work in the year 2014?
It wasn't so much offensive as stupid and I am surprised in a day and age the silliest thing can get a company or a person called racist an add like this got past the planning stage.
It's just odd.
You need help.

I wonder the same things about most modern black comedies.

Why?
EDIT: Never mind, I hadn't yet seen the last page and a half of the "Last Movie" thread. I now have context...I think.
I just watched the official trailer for Jurassic World, the upcoming third sequel to Jurassic Park.

Aside from the ugly "teal-and-orange" shit, I thought it looked alright at first. Then I heard the words "genetically modified hybrid".
*sigh*
I wonder if the next sequel will be Jurassic Station: Dinos in Space!
Where were you in '77?
LOL

I think Doctor who beat them to it.
Joking aside that is a movie I may have taken some interest in since it would be so bad it is good. So far all the sequels have been so bad they are painful. As far as I am concerned there is only one Jurassic Park movie.

You know it's sad but I would watch that movie because there is no way it could be worse then Jaws 4.

I didn't say it was offensive I just said that I found it odd.
Let me explain when I worked at Wal-Mart they were so scared of offending people that we were not allowed to use the word Christmas for any reason while in the store. I just find it funny that the company that was that scared of making people angry put out that add.
Does that explain it now?

I'm done discussing anything with you.
Good.
My life just keeps getting better and better.
Christ.
Make of that what you will.
Has anyone seen my pants or at least my boxer shorts?

Jesus Christ, the human incarnation of God the Son, the Third Person in the Holy Trinity after God the Father and God the Mother.
Placed on Earth in the year 10,000 HE, His job was to pretend to be the son of Yahweh aka Yaldabaoth aka the Demiurge -- the pantheistic ruler of the multiverse who falsely believed Itself to be the true creator -- so as to deconstruct and undermine Its false teachings so as to reveal the true transcendant God to humanity and restore their connection to the Divine. The Demiurge, being the blind idiot god that it was, actually believed Jesus was Its son and initially sanctioned His actions on Earth.
While on Earth, Jesus performed many great deeds and miracles. He exposed the hypocrisy of religious legalists, healed the sick and injured, and raised the dead. He even ascended Mount Kazbek, where he broke the chains of Prometheus and delivered him from the torments of the evil Zeus.
Eventually, however, Jesus' true nature made itself apparent to Yahweh, and even It figured out It had been duped. Using Its unholy powers, the Demiurge manipulated the Jews and the Romans into arresting, convicting, and crucifying Christ. Nailed to the cross, Jesus died, his soul sent to Sheol were it become a barely sentient shade.
Yes, Christ was dead and He would never be resurrected, but His death ensured the salvation of mankind and their reunification with God. In the end, Yaldabaoth and Its servants lost.
I'm satisfied with that.
If only you didn't think I was being irreverant with that post.
You don't know what I thought! I personally thought the whole thing was a euphemism.
I was hopimg to say happy Thanksgiving everyone, but I don't want to offend Frink. You people don't celebrate that holiday, right?
Not sure if serious.
;)
Does that help? Come on, you know me. :)
I couldn't figure out what a hopimg was.
It's a "hop image," of course.
It's called typing one handed with an infant in the other, you schmucks!
