Crappy lols! These commenters aren’t going to take…
Dammit.
While I normally enjoy post on this page I am going to have to say that mocking the plight of child soldiers is not really ever funny. Not to be PC but this is a topis that should never be used in any form of amusement.
Whatever funny guy.
Too soon?
TOOOOO SOOOOOOONNNN!!!
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
More like “TOOO FAAAAAAIIIILLLL!!!”
Seriously, there are not really many ways to make this picture funny and the captioner hasn’t found any of them…
But they’re so CUTE!!
teh assault rifles really bring out the color of their eyes…
Kinda funny, but more sad then anything.
Wow.. I’ve seen nearly every picture on this site and I’ve never actually been offended until I saw this.
I thought the same thing. This isn’t funny, this is incredibly disturbing.
Unless, of course, you use it as a vehicle to discuss the aspects of child soldiers. For example, a couple of years agao, while driveing to Florida to see my aging Mom (I know, Jane — too much detail), my wife and I bought a book on tape — “A long Way Gone — Memoirs of a Child Soldier.” We both saw the implications of using it in the classroom, since I teach Geography to HS freshman. Since then I have used in in my classroom as we discuss post-colonialism and conflit/cooporation. Humor & politics have often been linked and used to initiate discussion on uncomfortable topics — look at Archie Bunker…
spelling FAIL
Man, I wish I had had you for a high school teacher. Although, I was pretty much a goof off so it may not have made that much difference, but I think you would have gotten my attention.
My mother’s father looked a LOT like Carrol O’Connor. She warned us never to tell Grandpa that.
LG, I was also the ultimate goof off/ P in the A, that’s why I try to mix it up and make it interesting, pretty hard with 14-15 year olds, but this is one subject that hits home, when you put in perspective and they read about a kid younger than them fighting in a war — well they do surprise you as it sinks in to them.
LG, I was also the ultimate goof off/ P in the A
___________
You were a penis in the ass?
Pain in the ass. :/
Sounds like somebody has penis on the brain to jump to that kind of conclusion.
Oh, Eric. Just made 6 new ones. They don’t suck quite as much as the first ones. You like? linky.
Yeah, I’d say much improved. I really liked the Pelosi & Putin ones.
I suggest therapy.
Yeah… I totally agree. There are some topics that just shouldn’t be made fun of.
Kind of like sick/dying children *cough*Chaser’s*cough*
Hah. Ironically, it worked in the favour of the charity
But yes. Some things should be left alone.
I agree, jokes about child abuse aren’t right. Or funny…
Bwahaha, so politically incorrect – I like it
I’m guessing you are ignoring that when their towns were taking over they were most likely forced to kill and cook their friends and parents. Then given drugs and brain washed. A former refugee at my church was forced to boil and eat the leg of a neighbor child. Luckily he made it out. This isn’t to make you feel bad, just to let you know that some things are real. Not everything should be mocked. Look into it really, it isn’t just kids and guns, it’s the death of a generation in some areas.
i know this isn´t the place for seriousness, but all this did was make me very sad.
It should… The real question is what are we going to do about it?
Why can’t we get people to accept that other people have nerves and emotions, just like they do Charlie? I don’t get it.
Child soldiers and people who hurt others in general. Don’t they ever think about what they’re doing to the basic nature and acceptability of human nature and social structure? -sigh-
Sorry. I’m in a depressing state tonight.
Well, Tyler, this is a topic that brings those feelings out. But, that is the horrer of child soldiers… Children (the younger the better) don’t have the brains — literally since they don’t develop until later — to judge what is going on. Now, take the trauma of killing their families, add weird drug combinations (CoKe and Gunpowder, for instance) and you have CHILDREN who become ideal killing machines.
Horrer, Charlie?
Anyway, it just doesn’t make sense to me. Why involve the offspring into war, from a biological standpoint? If humans had a smaller population, it’d be a threat to the species’ survival and therefore would have to be against our natural human instincts, wouldn’t it?
Doesn’t make sense when people hurt each other for no real reason.
In some cultures, children are expendable.. To you and me it doesn’t make sense, but to those that would have children kill it does. *shrugs*
I know… But do people not understand that others are EXACTLY like them (in the we’re all human sense), not robots, and still feel?
I mean, there is so much apathy in the world how exactly do people do it?
In most cultures they don’t have a world view like you and me, but a much more localized outlook. Hence, child soldiers.
Let me add that children and grenades are a terrible combination.
According to anthropologist Marvin Harris, those tend to be the cultures with no access to birth control. For instance, in Europe in the 1700s the practice of infanticide by neglect was so common it wasn’t investigated as a crime. Orphanages with an 80% fatality rate or higher installed blind drop boxes that allowed mothers to anonymously leave their children to their fate.
Stone age cultures that survived into the 20th century regulated birth through lactation; women who breastfeed on a diet poor in animal proteins don’t become fertile for several years between births. True stuff!
-shiver-
And that’s the thing we really have to remember. Not everyone thinks like a western(ized) PC, multi-culti with warm fuzzies towards children and other fellow humans.
Look up Palestinian Media Watch on YouTube and see what Hamas likes to teach their kids – namely, that bombs are more important than children.
Understanding this vast cultural gap, I don’t see “children” here, but bloodlusty little killbots just waiting for a soft-hearted Westerner to take them in out of misguided pity so that they can wage jihad in the very heart of enemy territory.
Yeah, it sounds harsh, but these “children” are inculcated with the idea that it’s good and right to hate and kill right from birth. Even a former king of Saudi Arabia, Faisal, once said (warned?) the generations of Islamists to come after him would only become more fanatical; he was right.
The west has to start seeing these people for what they are, not what we would like to believe them to be, because otherwise, we will lose.
What makes you think these children are Islamic?
… Don’t, AC, he doesn’t understand that this picture was taken most likely in Africa, it’s just a random nut-job troll.
Isengrim’s been around before -and while our opinion vary hugely- I wouldn’t call them a troll. But yeah: FAIL! Although there are muslims in Africa, I don’t think you can point the finger at any random violent person with dark skin and go: “MUSLIM!”
You should watch “Blood Diamond” – It’ll really give you a feel of how child soldiers are recruited and brainwashed. Be careful, it’s a VERY powerful film.
RJ, yes it is, and I’ve used selected excerpts forom it since it is the same conflict as A Long Way Gone, but from the other perspective — bottom line the children lose. If you haven’t read the book, you should — Ishmael Beal is the author, he now works for the UN trying to stop the use of children as combatants around the world.
Ishmael Beah — my fingers are fat tonight.
I liked the movie, but I hated Leonardo in it. He’s an okay actor at times, but he needs a strong director to tell him, for instance, that his accent SUCKS!
I thought just the opposite! I thought he was great, and I thought he nailed the accent! It didn’t hurt that he filled out a little either
I hate to argue with a suicide blonde, but I think Leonardo is suffering from Kevin Kostner Syndrome. Besides, check out his accent vs a White South African’s accent:

this is terrible…child soldiers are no joke.
Everything is a joke….. that’s kinda the point of this website. Ya know, humor.
we don’t need no education
nor thought control…well maybe.
HEY! Is that dark sarcasm in the classroom, Mr. Foxtrot?
Hey, Eric! Leave them kids alone!
Yeah, whatever. You’re just another brick in the wall.
Well you cant have any pudding until you eat your meat!
YOU! YES YOU! STAND STILL, LADDIE!!!
Yes you do, you just used a double negative.
Obama’s Acorn Army of the Future?
Good one — bet your six grade teacher is proud of you! Now run along and play with yourself, the adults are talking here.
Dude they totally look like those kids that actually did the whole Obama civil military force thingy. Did you see that video! Scary! All about black supremacy.
Kinda like the Boy Scouts and their whole civil military force thingy. Did you see them in the parade! Scary! All about Christian supremacy. — You do see what you want to see, don’t you? When you have preconceived notions all the pieces seem to fit, don’t they?
Please to take 2 Haldol tablets at a time now, grumpy old man.
Nah, gave them up for Lent — I’ll let you guys continue to take the drugs — it seems to be working for you since you can’t seem to find reality anyway.
…♫♪♪ ♫♪♪…
Is that circus music?
…Nero fiddled, Jesus wept, etc., etc., etc….
…and the band played on…
…at this point I’d like to ask Mr. Turing to make a judgement…
…on ‘Chollie Fuxtort’…
You… You always need to act like a vitriolic idiot, don’t you?
You don’t have a life, do you?
HEEHEEHEE! Teh Ativan comes in generic, you know.
Whoa! Do you need to borrow a tampon…. on second thought, just have it, I don’t want it back.
First off, well done. Deny evidence, make counter accusations.
I’m not big on the boy scouts myself but I don’t think (think, because I can’t honestly be sure.) they have taken any president in particular and pledged they force to them to bring white into a power of supremacy. Maybe, but I must have missed that news clip.
And as much as I dislike the idea of drop your kids off with an older man in booty short to go ‘camping’ and ‘learn nature stuff’ with, I think the boy scouts have often done much volunteer work in their communities. Might even have had a good affect on the world actually, where as the Obama civil force just scares me.
I actually like and respect the BSA, — they do a great job at what they do. Kinda jumping to conclusions with the whole booty shorts thing aren’t you? I thought you conservatives were all about “good, clean fun.” But nice job of missing the point of my post.
Hey, I never claimed to enjoy ‘good, clean fun.’ And any conservative who is too stuck up to enjoy a joke needs to get over themselves.
@amekaze
“…..and pledged they force to them to bring white into a power of supremacy.” Huh? What does that mean in English?
I think that “they” was a typo, and Ame meant “their,” as in they’d support the cause
OK, “and pledged their force to them to bring white into a power of supremacy” STILL doesn’t make sense.
And liberals keep attacking anyone questioning He Who Shall Not Be Middle-Named!
Hussein isn’t a bad word, dickhead. (Dickhead could be on the border of being a bad word, but only if you’re a TV mom from the 1950s.)
I think the President actually uses it himself. Apparently, some names illicit feelings of the “Bogyman” for conservatives.
elicit? I hope?
oops, no link intended, forgot to take it off.
Take it all off, Merkin!
I think that if I elicit too much illicit stuff Jane’s mom will kick my butt.
They could have secret “Bogyman” fetishes. You don’t know.
Exactly why PK loves it’s Janie.
(Anyone else thinking of fixing up Tyler with AC?)
(Was I the only one who didn’t know AC was female?)
Probably, but those of us who knew have also been around longer.
Indeed, you hang around long enough and soon you’ll know who’s what, and who had the operation when…
I feel guilty now, because I haven’t been endlessly hitting on AC as much as every other female/male on this site. -Goes off AC comment-hunting-
WTF? I come back from a camping weekend and find this?
Jings…
>.> Not my fault, now is it?
(Well is AC a girl, Mark?)
Well, he *claims* he is… for all I know he’s Herbert from Family Guy
Silly Mark. I don’t watch family Guy. I’m Wallace from Wallace and Gromit….
I’d thought you were more like Gromit; the long-suffering brains of the outfit!
Questioning? There was a question of the President’s policies in that original “Acorn” statement? hmmm, kinda looked like a character assassination attempt, granted a petty poor and over-used attempt with a mean-spirited twist, but yeah, an attempt nonetheless.
Totally! It’s pretty ridiculous.
“Hey I don’t think we should give those people the bonuses Mr. President.”
“RACIST! Quick grab the pitch forks! Now where did I put my torch?”
I think doth protest too much.
“Go to, for you are a saucy boy!” Comes to mind.
Get thee to a nunnery! Wait, wrong thread.
Funny how conservatives are the only ones horrified by that middle name. It’s Hussein, which is a common name if I’m not mistaken. It’s not like his name is Barack Josef Stalin Obama or Barack Adolf Hitler Obama or even Barack Saddam Hussein Obama. It’s just Hussein. What’s the big deal? My middle name is Eric. It doesn’t mean I was named after Eric the Red or even Eric Idle. It’s just a name.
And as for people questioning the president, go ahead, question him. But actually use your brain instead of heating up Sean Hannity’s leftovers.
Yeah, but are you related to Billy?
There was a lot of “warning off” of the use of the middle name during the campaign, because it would have negative connotations and possibly be associated with the Middle Eastern conflict. Now, since he’s on his world-wide “We Suck and We’re Sorry About It” tour, he can use the name again with no repercussions. It’s a tad irritating.
what gets me is when he’s either referred to as hussein osama, or when people upper case his entire middle name. those got old fast.
Yeah, that’s true. Even the Democrats were scared of the name. The whole thing was nonsense. It’s just a name. My first name is Jeremiah. That doesn’t make me a bibilical prophet, and Hussein doesn’t make Obama a Middle Eastern dictator.
I think flaunting the middle name is a tad childish, but he has no reason to hide it. And he’s on the we suck & we’re sorry about it tour because it’s true. :-X
You may suck and need to be sorry about it, but I’ve never had any complaints about my sucking
-
He needs to stay the f*ck home and fix what we have here, not try to make the world like us. Sorry, rest of the world (and my non-American friends here), screw you guys until we get our own sh!t fixed.
Yeah…that whole Iraq thing makes getting our own shit fixed a little tricky. Thanks, G dub!
I’ll ignore the obvious dig and agree with you
True dat. And making inroads with the people who have eyed us with grave suspicion for the past eight years is not a bad idea. Plus, he’s been over there, what two, three times since his election? It’s not like it’s a home away from home.
“…but I’ve never had any complaints about my sucking.” cite? personal references are good, videos are better.
actually i kind of agree with you on all that – i’m happy the world is diggin’ us but we’re falling apart back home. then again, he’s doing well at home, too.. i only know it’s 2 hours before i can have a beer. mm, tasty & delicious beer.
….or a bullfrog.
Yeah, but does Eric have some mighty fine wine?
“Obama civil military force thingy…” link, please? The one I saw was young black males in scout-ish type uniforms saying revolutionary things like
“Because of Obama, I am inspired to be the next architect”
“Because of Obama, I am inspired to be the next teacher”
Radical! Wish I could find that again. Not scary and not about black supremacy.
Also, not part of any officially sponsored organization. The kids came up with it themselves.
Horsehit. Have you ever seen a kid come up with stuff like that on their own? Perhaps the smallest part of that wasn’t scripted.
You’ve seen the video, right? It’s really an empowerment thing; if I were a black man with kids, I *think* I would have been as proud of my son doing that as the white parents I used to know were of their kid’s participation in the Royal Rangers.
I have seen the video, and it creeped the hell out of me.
On YouTube…
Now THERE’S a reliable news organization there. You Tube. Yeah. I also learned from You Tube that the Covenant is invading earth and only the Master Chief can save us.
Yeah. Really, Innocent Foreigner, don’t act like Youtube is a reliable source of information if you’re not going to cite the video in question so we can see if it’s a reliable source.
under “Obama Hitler Youth”-
To be positive even here they will defend him.
That what you’re talking about? at around 5:18?
You can’t possibly be talking about that. Right?
By the way, the mere fact that you looked up “Obama Hitler Youth” kind of erases any bit of credibility you have in this argument.
He doesn’t have any credibility. He’s just a random crazy troll that people keep feeding for some inexplicable reason.
People like f*cking with foreigners?
Nah, just Canadians..
Eh?
B.
See?
Dee-ta-dee.
Cuz it’s fun?
were not gonna take it… NO! we ain’t gonna take it… were not gonna take it ANYMOOOOORRE…
It would have been pretty funny if it wasn’t so sad.
Just not right. There are some things that should never be made fun of.
Out of line.
This needs to go back to 4chan where it belongs.
These kids had their lunches made by the PUNDIT KITCHEN…
That explains why they’re undernourished…
They look pretty hale and hearty to me.
I guess we now know where food aid goes.
This is a disturbing image, but I am wondering –
When did Kalashnikov start making child-sized rifles? now *that* is just messed up!
Ok, So to start of I would like to point something out to all the commenters out there that are disrespecting the creator of this lol. How the heck is this disturbing? It’s only words! I mean, I’m a child myself, and as much as I may understand why you don’t like this particular lol, you have no right to be offended by it! It’s just a joke and it’s none of your buisness, and before you say it’s none of mine either, I didn’t say it was. I’m just acting like it is as you are acting like this is your buisness. Now, if you didn’y understand that and you are older than me, get a life.
Yeah, it’s obvious that you’re a child yourself. I understand what you’re saying, but what you’re saying is still stupid (and the irony of you telling adults to get a life is deliciously rich – kudos for at least knowing you’re a child yourself though). Think about this again when you’re older and have learned more about child soldiers.
A few hints to tuck away and think about in a few years: 1. There are things out here in the grown up world that are generally agreed upon to be too horrifying to make jokes of. 2. Also, most of these horrifying things are generally considered to be everybody’s business. Because they’re atrocities that most humans would want to stop. 3. Not seeing the problem with said atrocities and the problem with joking about them gives the rest of the world *every possible right* to be offended and to question the thought processes of the “joker”. That is not the same as disrespect, and knowing the difference will make your adult life infinitely better.
Now run along.
The whole point of the lol, perhaps, was to highlight the tragedy of using children as bullet catchers rather than generating actual lols from readers.
Has anyone seen 24: Redemption I think it’s called? I noticed that a lot of politically charged movies and tv shows are using this topic: diamonds, child warfare etc as a tool to highlight the plight of some infants. It’s, like Charlie Foxtrot said an ideal motive to start off topics of debate amongst people. Look what it’s done here
And as for Di Caprio’s accent, I didn’t think it was all that bad! I used to live in Holland and his accent was quite like the Dutch – seen as he was portraying an Afrikaaner in the film, his accent was pretty spot on if you ask me. Overall, it was an intense film, cried my eyes out.
Really? wow. This is low.
This is really distasteful and offensive.
Like Letterman?
I just wish someone would SAY SOMETHING about how offensive and distasteful this caption is. Frankly I’m offended by your indifference, PKers.
*goes off in a huff*
Have you clicked see all captions?
There are worst captions than this!
If you have a problem with the picture take it up with whoever uploaded the pic!
oh yeah there’s one captioned
“resident evil 5 zombies”
Joseph, meet my friend sarcasm.
Tee-hee. I like your friend, Blondie.
Agree with you there, OMG THERES LIKE NOONE TALKING ABOUT HOW HORRIBLE THIS IS WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DOOOOO?!?!?!?!?!questionmark oneone line upanddown!
I find your sarcasm toward indifference offensive and distasteful. I encourage you to be more indifferent.
I find indifference distasteful and offensive. I encourage you to have more opinions about everything.
My opinion is that Maxwell’s Silver Hammer is a very good song, but kind of goofy. How’s that?
UR OPINONION IS RONG!!
I find your spelling and all caps distasteful and offensive.
Text barricades itself into rolls of peautbutter when you type.
I find peanut butter tasty, but I am indifferent to text barricades.
If by goofy you mean freaking awesome.
Certainly one of the more peppy and upbeat songs written about serial killing with a blunt instrument.
And that’s no small thing, really.
Why am I singing “Mack the Knife” now?
Not a blunt instrument but same general theme, I suppose.
Okay, so the picture is creepy, but the really offensive part is that this isn’t all that funny. That’s what offends me.
Agreed.
Still I am confused. Was told by American foreign exchange student to look at website here, but I do not see Obama being pulled by caring people in round fashion. I am positive he said website was ” Obama-Loving Circle jerk”
-Shuts eyes and tries not to feed trolls-
Now THAT was funny!!!!!
I agree with your statement whole heartedly.
Thank you. Very powerful.
The kid’s a decent singer, too.
Not funny. I always laugh and enjoy the captions, but this is too much. These children have very sad lives, and it is inappropriate to use their images in this manner.
k. wtf? this is exactly what I thought I might hear. While FFI may exist the CFR does not.
So true so very,very true
ANYBODY WHO THINKS THIS IS FUNNY IS ABSOLUTELY APPALLING. These children are being preyed upon and they have no clue what they are doing. This LOL is DISGUSTING to me and these are the kinds of things that are wrong with America.
YOU MY FRIEND SHOULD BE VERY ASHAMED AND DISCUSTED OF YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!
Care troll cares more than the rest of us.
What’s “discusted” mean? Does that mean we don’t get any custard?
Oh hell no! I was told there would be custard dammit!!
No, no, their write. I even discusted with my paster who also said that this pitcher is appealing.
Gives waggs a good slap.. we don’t need any hysterics, ok?
-
Now get the hell of my lawn..
-
*meddlin’ good fer nuthin’s*
How can you be so sure they don’t know what they’re doing?
hes strill ur friend? D:<
They look so cute. I want to hug them but I’m guessing they would shoot me first.
when i saw this pic, my first reaction was to laugh at the caption, but when it sunk in my heart just dropped and i got goose-bumps on my arms. never has a picture provoked a reaction like that in me. i think that using this humor is just a way of dealing with the uncomfortableness that bad things happen that you dont know about.
Saying that some topics are out of bounds to make fun of is kind of dangerous. Because different people have different views of what’s funny, and the line you shouldn’t cross will inevitably keep changing until you can’t make fun about any topic.
In my opinion you can make fun of any topic. What makes it funny is timing, context and the sense of humour of the audience.
HEY TEACHER!!!1 LEAVE THEM KIDS ALONE!
The caption is funny but it’s sad why those children are actualy there. :-/
Am I the only one that is fairly sure that a: the average 5 year old can’t lift a 10lb assault rifle over their head, and b: does not have hands big enough to nearly-encircle the grips or butt of an AK47 and that therefore, the rifles shown are miniature props and the picture is faked? And besides, those kids are way too fat to be desperate child soldiers.
