But watch now, the next twenty posts will consist of people trying to convince me that its honestly not funny - and its true. They didnt find it funny in the slightest, because it was having a cheap laugh at the leader of their side of politics. But what WONT be conceded is that they simply cant laugh at themselves.

perhaps if the picture, the event, the <i>candidate</i> had anything to do with **** sizes, it would be clever. If this was Bob Dole, we'd all have a good laugh.
however in this case it just simply isn't funny at all. the connection is so obscure that it's a real stretch to see the punchline at all.

i am so ashamed of you guys, for being one of the only people giggling at this photo. now i'm bi.. and i think of pensu a LOT. in that way. but.. even so... i don't even see how you people can NOT find the humor or relevance of Kerry's gesture in that picture, if you yourself own a pensu.
if you cannot identify that gesture with humor and pensu alike, then you, sir, are a shameful, self-hating specimen of man.

I wasnt trying to point out that you are all tools of political manipulation, I was expanding on a theory about Americans and politics that I happened apon a while ago. I was living with a pair of Bush loving expat yankee's, and we were all sitting around the dinner table making jokes about Howard Dean, when I decided to tell em a Bush joke I'd heard:
George Bush was visiting a primary school, and when talking to the children, he told them they could ask him "anything they liked" and he'd tell them the absolutel truth. Little Timmy puts up his hand, and says "I have three questions Mr Bush: Why did you win the election when the other guy got more votes than you, where are the weapons of mass destruction, and why are you spending more and more money when we have a massive budget deficit." Bush sits there, humming and harring for a minute, but then the bell rings for recess. "Those are good questions Timmy, and I'll tell you the answer when recess is over" he says. After lunch, Bush asks if there are any more questions, and Little Johnny puts up his hand. "Mr Bush, I have five questions: Why did you win the election when the other guy got more votes than you, where are the weapons of mass destruction, and why are you spending more and more money when we have a massive budget deficit, why did the bell ring for recess an hour early, and where is Timmy?"
Dead silence ensued. I started laughing as I finished telling it, then trailed off and focussed really hard on my food. They all just stared at me and then carried on eating like I hadnt said anything.
I still get the impression this is whats going on here - not for all, but I suspect for the majority.
There are plenty of pictures of Kerry that are funnier than that. Kerry looks like an idiot half the time, I couldn't stop laughing during the first debate when he kept doing the smile that makes his face look about a foot longer than it really is. I hate Bush. I'm not a fan of Kerry. That picture did not amuse me. Why is this so hard to understand?

I'm suprised you haven't been tossed in the gulag like me.

I laughed at Esuna's picture. Maybe it was more about the content of the humour than it was about the political sidings? I mean, I don't even plan on voting, so why assume I am only going to find humour targeted at whoever I favor politically funny.

I looked at the picture and saw nothing funny. That makes me a hypocrite for not trying to find something to laugh at Kerry about?

Not when it comes to politics, laughing at your own side is nearly impossible for most people, especially when its something they are as fanatical about in the Bush/Kerry war.
But watch now, the next twenty posts will consist of people trying to convince me that its honestly not funny - and its true. They didnt find it funny in the slightest, because it was having a cheap laugh at the leader of their side of politics. But what WONT be conceded is that they simply cant laugh at themselves.

to be perfectly honest I didn't get it before it was explained. Why? Because there's no humor in it.
perhaps if the picture, the event, the <i>candidate</i> had anything to do with **** sizes, it would be clever. If this was Bob Dole, we'd all have a good laugh.
however in this case it just simply isn't funny at all. the connection is so obscure that it's a real stretch to see the punchline at all.
and no, i'm not a democrat.

Woah wait a second, I just remembered, aren't you Austrailian?
Yes I am, which is why I feel comfortable laughing at both of them.
Uzi - I'm not in the gulag because I only do this in the Off-Topic forum, which is supposed to be humours/not to serious. Unfortunately, when it comes to paying out their political candidate, many people become deadly serious, as is/will be evidenced in this thread.

But you always seemed so interested in American politics. It doesn't make sense to me. Wouldn't you care even less, as none of this stuff besides foreign policy will ultimately effect you?

A lot of what happens in Australia is directly influenced by things occuring in the world around us, and hence a larger proportion of our population are focussed on whats going on out in the world rather than within the nation. The US is our closest ally, we are a central player (politically) in their war on terrorism, we have suffered terrorist attacks ourselves, and I really like what Bush stands for.
You cant care about what goes on in the world and be uninterested in the doings of the Americans.

Ahh I get you. Sad but true, eh? Decadence comes with wealth. This great 'empire' might be on the path to decay as well. But that might take some time.
Ever wondered why Ann Coulter wouldnt find your photoshop chick tracts/I eat for christ etc funny? Its for the same reason the lot of you lefties find yourself unable to laugh here. Ironic eh, you'd think she was just so set in her ways and beliefs that she lacked a sense of humour......
if you cannot identify that gesture with humor and pensu alike, then you, sir, are a shameful, self-hating specimen of man.

It really says something about Americans that I don't even know the name of Australia's chief of state, yet you understand American politics so thoroughly.
And yeah.....I'm thinking a picture with Bush in the same pose would have been met with many "ROFL" types of posts, if for no other reason than just to laugh at Bush.....
Interesting how a man with two fingers in the wrong position creates a political discussion. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Well, she probably wouldn't find them funny because they're borderline (or super duper) offensive. Conversely, people don't find this funny because all it is is John Kerry holding his fingers up.

Ok, ok so you say that to not find this funny you have to like Kerry? I don't like Kerry, and I don't find it funny on its own. Esuna's was funny, the way Kerry ALWAYS looks is funny. A person making a vaguelly phallic gesture is NOT funny unless one is inclined to laugh at a vaguelly phallic gesture that you have seen a millions times before. Obviously some people DO find this funny, like Zig for instance (although I can see little of what this has to do with your sexuality Ziggy boy), now I know Zig, and I know he'll laugh at Bush too given the chance. Y'see Marine, there are some people who can mange to keep their politics seperate from everything else, like their sense of humor. And declaring that anyone who doesn't find this funny is obviously being a political tool is an unfair position to make, how are we to prove to you that this simply isn't funny? There really isn't a way.
That rant has NO point. Lemme alone, I'm watching MST3K, hey they made a Clinton joke!

No, he's saying that to find it funny you have to like Bush.
And if it were a picture of Bush, you would have to like Kerry to find it funny.
There's still room in for people who just don't find it funny. I just don't think all the people who have said it isn't funny are really that mature. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
George Bush was visiting a primary school, and when talking to the children, he told them they could ask him "anything they liked" and he'd tell them the absolutel truth. Little Timmy puts up his hand, and says "I have three questions Mr Bush: Why did you win the election when the other guy got more votes than you, where are the weapons of mass destruction, and why are you spending more and more money when we have a massive budget deficit." Bush sits there, humming and harring for a minute, but then the bell rings for recess. "Those are good questions Timmy, and I'll tell you the answer when recess is over" he says. After lunch, Bush asks if there are any more questions, and Little Johnny puts up his hand. "Mr Bush, I have five questions: Why did you win the election when the other guy got more votes than you, where are the weapons of mass destruction, and why are you spending more and more money when we have a massive budget deficit, why did the bell ring for recess an hour early, and where is Timmy?"
Dead silence ensued. I started laughing as I finished telling it, then trailed off and focussed really hard on my food. They all just stared at me and then carried on eating like I hadnt said anything.
I still get the impression this is whats going on here - not for all, but I suspect for the majority.
