I watched the Happy Gilmore movies last night and the alligator scenes caught my attention because of the recent Laura Loomer thing with the real gators, and feeding a few million real people to them.

Anyways, in the movies, a running gag is multiple characters die, for a multitude of reasons, by being eaten by the gators. I thought, boy, that is funny because it is portrayed in a cartoonish manner and even as punishment for the smallest offenses that hurt nobody. I knew there were no real people being fed to the gators.

Thinking on this Laura Loomer thing, I thought that feeding real people to real gators, even if within a claimed joke just wasn't something I could easily find funny if at all. You know, cause of the implications... behind systematically eliminating real people via real gators.

Anyways, without further ado, the question : Do you find feeding real people to real gators funny?

Since you either find something funny or ya don't the options are pretty self evident. Vote accordingly and feed your pets!

only maggots find it funny
 
I don't find the thought of feeding human beings to alligators particularly amusing or entertaining.

It's the same reason I can't find "screw Canada" jokes funny anymore as a US citizen. Before it was mostly harmless sibling rivalry. Now it carries a real potential threat of us turning against our long standing allies.

I think we can all agree Carrot Top had not been funny way before he started doing steroids.

Seriously though, unlike you, who pretends to not know who Laura Loomer is while pimping out her RetardicanTreeMouse slop if it matches whatever weird business you're standing on this week, I have consistency going back decades:

Do think those examples are analogous? One was a joke by a comedian and it ruined her career, the other is official government policy and applauded by a large portion of America.

Fascists are going to fascist.

Not real people.

But they can chow down on Laura Loomer all they like.
 
I am not sure if feeding real people to real alligators is funny but I definitely find leopards eating the faces of certain voters of a certain president extremely funny and ironic.
 
All part of dehumanizing liberals, an effort to bitterly divide America for the purpose of profiting off the controversy.

It is the lowest slimiest substitute for actual news there is. Forget presenting any news at all. Just stir up trouble, get attention, show commercials, collect the advertising money.

This act ranks somewhere below used car salesman. Causing actual harm to the nation for money is like selling out America.

We have to be realistic here. @VySky is not permitted to criticize Laura Loomer so his only choices were to stay silent or post a whataboutism and hope for the best. I think we can all agree that silence was the best option—as we see other MAGA doing—but some MAGA simply lack that kind of impulse control. They have to defend Laura Loomer at all costs, hence the vanilla VySky deflection.

Thank you for posting how painting can influence other arts.

I’m glad that someone in the 21st century appreciates the French Academic style of Gérôme. Impressionism dealt the death blow to the popularity of Academic painting. Quite rightly, according to many critics.

I did learn how closely Italian follows the Latin in the case of pollice — same word for thumb in languages. Verso has a different meaning in Italian — in the direction of. Not until I looked up the phrase pollice verso did I see that it is (generally accepted as) Latin for ‘thumbs down’ although the exact position of the thumb in Roman times in unknown.

Bonus trivia - a Roman double edged sword is a gladio, and the person wielding that sword is a gladiatore.

Satire cannot be performed by those with real power. Julius Streicher was not creating satire after 1933.

True enough . . . after 1933 . . . for Julius Streicher. While I loathe the temptation to wallow in reductio ad Hitlerum, that is a fair analogy to make. Even the NAZI party leadership wanted Streicher gone. It was only the Fuhrer's protection that kept him safe at work doing his anti-Jewish demagoguery publishing his newspaper.

As a propogandist, how much influence and power does Laura Loomer wield compared against Julius Streicher?

When we casually throw around the Hitler comparison, we trivialize the industrialized slaughter of millions and the global devastation caused by that particularly monstrous figure. Worse, we shut down any possibility of a thoughtful, fact-based critique of today's political leaders. Instead of holding them accountable for their specific actions and policies, we reduce the conversation to cartoonish hysteria. -- Trump is not Hitler, Katherine Brodsky, Newsweek, 5/1/2025

Has @VySky left the building?

Apparently from what I’ve read, the drug cartels have been feeding snitches and other of their enemies to the gators/crocs as a spectator sport for their loyal members. Don’t go astray amigos.😡
