The WTF? Thread

[Gangster Octopus]

How does that square with the plot of One, Two, Three?

The pub bar snack menu.

"Courgette & sweetcorn Pakoras

JUST FUCK OFF!!!!

Among the many surprising things in that article is the discovery that Royal Caribbean name a ship The Mariner of the Seas. Is there another kind of mariner?

Jaw-dropping wtfery here

How is this legal?

How was it sanctioned by the institution responsible for it?

How come their lawyers didn't stop it?


How come he's not behind bars pending trial?

Their lawyers.

Their

Their their their.

[ursus arctos]

It wasn't legal, even in China.

Which is why he is under house arrest.

Oversight appears to have been non-existent, largely because he raised his own funds.

[Del Usory]

Ok.

That's a fair cop

Of Ipswich Town and Plymouth Argyle?

This so-called preacher is terrifying, like a character straight out of a Stephen King novel. Imagine being his kid or his wife.

[San Bernardhinault]

A swarm of Southern California ladybirds shows up as a desert storm on weather service radar.

[Guy Profumo]

This country.

I mean.

Has it come to this?


WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!!

(Apologies for the shouting and the multiple exclams)

Is there evidence that homophobic hate crimes are actually rising or are the police just doing a better job of classifying them properly?

[Guy Profumo]

Either.

But there's certainly more of them being reported in MSM.

[Nocturnal Submission]

I saw that a while ago but I was too disgusted to flag it up or comment on it.

[Guy Profumo]

Ok.


That's a fair cop.

[Guy Profumo]

Oh. And racist hate crimes and incidents are rising.

Emboldened by the Kipper/ Brexit Party scum

[Eggchaser]

I was just about to post that. No apologies needed.

Whilst I freely admit to having a hair trigger temper and losing my rag about trivial stuff I really shouldn't, I am not by nature either a violent or vindictive person, and I am certainly not a hang 'em and flog 'em time, but I wouldn't shed a tear if the arseholes that did this fell down a flight of stairs.

When this came up on my Twitter feed, I had basically the same reaction as Guy. In what sort of society is this acceptable?

Bantz, eh?

[Hot Pepsi]

Either.

But there's certainly more of them being reported in MSM.

That offers some hope. At least now, the general socially accepted response to this is outrage. In 1994, I would not have expected that to be the case in 2019. So that's positive, I guess.

Even your conservative PM claimed outrage. I don't think we'd get that from our conservative leadership here. At best, they'd feign sympathy for the victims as a way to blame Mexicans.

[Eggchaser]

There's good and bad people on both sides.

[Guy Profumo]

There's good and bad people on both sides.

Name a good person on the side of bigotry then.

I think you'll find eggy was being satirical about the supposed US govt. Reaction as imagined by Hot Pepsi.

Thank you.

I stand corrected.

Mea Maxima Culpa, Magister.

[Guy Profumo]

(And as I sidebar, is "I think you'll find..." the most single patronising upbraid there is?

I remember it from the late 80s when we used it to shoot down in flames idiots who espoused bollocks.

And I accept that criticism in that very spirit)

[WOM]

My FIL is prone to "...when the reality is..." to counter anyone else's opinion. Cuz he's the only one with reality-based opinions.

Sixteen year old arrested in connection with this.

Where in the name of all that is holy do these fuckers get this from?
