Octopus Overlords

MSD will know this one intimately.

The statue of Vulcan, god of fire and the forge, stands on Red Mountain and overlooks the city of Birmingham, which got its start as a steel-making town.



Those living in the populous neighborhoods behind Red Mountain have a different view.

Is it me or does that head look a little big? Most artists try for an "8 heads high" figure for gods and suoerheroes - more heroic.

Not Vulcan, Reorx.

Urgh. I guess Hooters wasn't hiring.

Love this guy's face..

Yeah, holocaust jokes? Not really funny.

I totally didn't see that as being a holocaust joke. In fact I had to scroll back through the entire thread twice to figure out what you were talking about. I saw it more as a "dough mascot being baked like the bread products he sells" joke.

That's what it appeared to be originally until someone edited it.

I didn't know what you guys were talking about till I read and looked close. I thought it was just the doughboy guy.

I'm guessing it is based on the Pillsbury Holocaust from sometime in the early 90s which was picture of a 1950's house wife putting doughboys in the oven while another looked on in terror. I'd have not connected the joke then either, had the title of the picture not been called "the Pillsbury Holocaust." I'm dim that way. And holocaust joke or not it was funny at the time.

Edit: easy enough to find when you know the name

That picture is kind of creepy and weird. It's just when someone decided to slap a star of david on the animated guy in the oven (which was clearly not there originally), it became a little sketchy in my eyes.

The boobs are good though.

Didn't see the star at first. Thought it was funny until I saw the star. Not so funny anymore...

Holy shit. Didn't see the star before.

Bingo.

I just imagine the star's not there and now it's funny again. Who hasn't dreamed of the Pillsbury dough monster getting his, finally?

Certainly not these guys:

When he commented on the Holocaust joke, I thought he was referencing the Hitler one. It wasn't until it was pointed out that it was Pillsbury that I noticed the star.

This is what happens when you ban certain people - they totally would have picked up on this dirt when it was originally posted.

Ok, I get not seeing the star but now that we know it's there, is there a reason that image hasn't been deleted from the original post?

Done.

Apropos of the doughboy: did anyone as a kid ever notice how the mascot welcoming you to a "fun" restaurant was usually the same thing you were going to kill and eat?

There's a whole website devoted to that observation: Suicide Food

Not at Bullwinkle's (which was the Canadian equivalent of Chuck E. Cheese when I was a kid). We really don't have moose and squirrel on our pizza.

Are you saying, in a round-a-bout way that Chuck E. Cheese has rats?

A guy used this to bump his thread:

Saw this shirt at woot....

I really don't know why, but the Chaotic Evil nature of this just makes me giggle every time I see it. It's just perfect for the Joker.


...and now for something completely different.
