Obama is not only a Socialist, who wants Americans to hand over their hard earned cash, in a grandiose scheme to redistribute America’s wealth … he spent 20 years listening to the anti-American, racist sermons of black liberation pastor Jeremiah Wright, which were based upon Marxist ideology … along with his wife and two children … and they still attend the same church, listening to the same anti-American trash!

This dull LOL got 77 comments. Should have gotten none.

Weren’t macros launched from a picture of a cat asking for cheezburgers, even though the pic had nothing to do with cheezburgers at all?

I voted for ‘Bush is Stoopid’, so that must have been on there. And not all of my own LOLs seem to show up on the voting page (including some that have zero political relevance) – I’m not convinced that’s evidence of management censorship .

The Pro-Obama management live in the same underground volcano lair as The “Liberul Media!!!” the “Gay Agenda!!!!” and the “Global warming conspiracy!!!!” Oh and the Joker and the Riddler at weekends, they’ve got a timeshare.

URLs take a while to get through the spam filter.

Scroll down to GomerPhyl’s comment below. The URL for my LOLs is in there.

Of the twelve listed, only one made it to the voting page — the “Half honkey — all donkey”.

Oh, and I would LOVE to see the picture that can use the caption “Bush loves lamp”. Come on people, make it work!

“as useful as eating pennies to make sense.”

Can’t say I’ve ever heard that one before, nice.

Ah, that’s what I was looking for. Posting the URLs of the ones which didn’t make it helps us decide for ourselves whether it didn’t make it as some sort of conspiracy or whether it just lacked spark.

Thank you.

By: Komadori

Komadori — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 17:16:35 +0000

You still have the URLs, right. Are you allowed to post them in comments as an example for us to see?

By: Herbert

Herbert — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 17:12:39 +0000

i believe there was. and you went on a tirade about how he was not black.
debating the details of a comedic website is about as useful as eating pennies to make sense. it’s just pointless crap in the end.

woooo obama is a multicoloured unicorn who punches babies
john mccain is a common house troll who built an ark once
hilary flipped off boxes of kittens
bush loves lamp

better now?

I like how it says honkey but you jump to the conclusion that it says monkey since it is a black person pictured. Racist.

By: Evil Pundit

Evil Pundit — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 22:43:30 +0000

Thanks for providing the link so people can see that you lied about my pictures.

(1) They are not all in LOLspeak.

(2) I do not call Obama a monkey.

(3) He is a flip-flopper. If ‘McCain is old’ jokes can pass, then so should these.

Only one of these made it to the voting page where readers could actually make up their own minds. All the rest were censored.

Who’s upset? I just think what passes for “funny” on the Dem side is so… dull.

The interesting bit is how this gets folks like you in a perfect tizzy.

The Replicans are just upset because they can’t make funny.

By: Kinson

Kinson — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 16:47:52 +0000

You see this is exactly why most of these are not funny. You pick a lame joke then slap any old picture that does not have anything to do with the joke. At least the Bush handshake one was funny, and it was funny because it made sense.

It’s about making other human beings laugh at something incongruous or absurd. Man, you just want to whine, don’t you?

By: lowly grunt

lowly grunt — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 05:23:59 +0000

I imagine what gets cut is disgusting and offensive. Were yours disgusting and offensive? Make them FUNNY. If they make you laugh and want to show your mom, Rather than make you rub your hands in glee thinking “THAT’LL show those libtard bastards,”, then they probably won’t make it.

FUNNY.

By: Evil Pundit

Evil Pundit — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 05:13:24 +0000

Of course they weren’t mine.

I’ve submitted 12 lols, and only one has made it to the voting page.

Anti-Obama lols get cut out by the site owners.

By: Evil Pundit

Evil Pundit — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 05:11:40 +0000

I’ve seen at least three “Bush is stoopid” jokes on the front page.

It’s pretty clear that being original or funny has nothing to do with getting on the front page. It’s all about praising Obama or attacking his opponents.

By: lowly grunt

lowly grunt — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 05:09:00 +0000

It is!
Remember Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman? Redd Foxx on Sanford and Son? Two birds with one stone, there.
Of course, I’m sort of dating myself with these references, but I think laughing at the aches and pains and indignities of getting older is what makes it bearable.

C’mon, man! If you want your posts to make it out of voting page limbo, drop the obvous or obscure and look for the humor! Surely you are capable; you’ve given me a lot of laughs lately!!

By: lowly grunt

lowly grunt — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 05:04:19 +0000

Ah, but they do. I failed a crap-ton of “ooh, look at the shiny” posts a while back. They weren’t yours, were they? Cuz if they were, they sucked.

By: Evil Pundit

Evil Pundit — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 04:59:05 +0000

I bet a few Obama supporters would be sensitive if there were jokes about him being black.

But picking on old people, that’s funny.

By: Evil Pundit

Evil Pundit — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 04:57:55 +0000

It isn’t just that they aren’t showing up on the front page.

Anti-Obama LOLs don’t even get to the voting page, where anyone can vote on them.

By: lowly grunt

lowly grunt — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 04:11:19 +0000

That McCain is old. You seem pretty sensitive to it.

By: lowly grunt

lowly grunt — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 04:10:27 +0000

Then make them funnier.

Some of the options on the voting page that take shots at Obama are just dumb. Shiny references just don’t do it – for me, anyway.

Make fun of his ears or the way he dresses or his spindly frame or that he’s from Chicago – SOMETHING.

And it took a friend of mine WEEKS and about 40 submissions before anything showed up on the front page. Patience, grasshopper.

By: somewhat surprised

somewhat surprised — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 02:51:49 +0000

I submitted the above captioned photo, and yes, I know that the joke is stale and unoriginal. I also couldn’t quickly find a good pic of McCain that might match the caption better (although I did find one where he looks a lot like Popeye!). But making the macro amused me. I was somewhat surprised to see it made it up to the front.

Jeez, many of you guys fuss too much about a mildly amusing joke. Try to enjoy a bit of silliness without getting all worked up. Save your energy for more worthwhile things instead of expending it on tearing apart a facetious joke.

Hmmm…. interesting that you can’t seem to get the concept that humor should be, um, funny. Redundant, uncreative pap doesn’t do it for me. Sorry. I’m curious what “truth” is being gotten “close” to, in your opinion….?

By: lolbama

lolbama — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 01:13:00 +0000

Who’s “whining about ageism”? I’m merely pointing out that the Dem folks will automatically like anything that says Bush is “stupid” or that McCain is “old”.

Creativity or humor seem to have little to do with it.

Again, you didn’t get the joke ’till I ‘splained it to you, so maybe you should cut down on the winging about how others are “humorless”?

By: lolbama

lolbama — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 01:08:09 +0000

It kinda seems like Seth wants to be able to comment on whatever fool thing comes to your mind, while cryin’ when others comment about … the picture.

Good luck with that, Sethie!

Evil Pundit — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 22:51:23 +0000

So, you’d see the same thing if there was ever a lol about Obama on the front page.

But the site’s bias ensures that there won’t be one.

By: Evil Pundit

Evil Pundit — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 22:49:44 +0000

We do make our own lols.

But most of them never even get to the voting stage. They’re filtered out by the pro-Obama management of this blog.
