That Front Page article just updated with page 5, full of Ted Rall parodies.

I don't think I ever saw this Rorus Raz edit before:



A true hidden gem. Political Cartoons 2014: We're Rall in this together.

1
Snowman's life hit the skids and now he begs for the sweet release of death.

2
Third panel: :dukedog: "I'm gay."

3
He has his facts right this time, but the horse is still dead.

4
I'd pay 99 cents for a "BUTTZZZZZ" text tone.

5
Bok has a self image as bad as his art and jokes.

6
Horsey is giving that kid poo poo for time traveling to the early 90's before Comedy Central changed it's name?

I like this one. Easily the best weed toon so far.

Someone bought me this custom title because they think I kick ass at Photoshop. They happen to be right.

And here's another reminder of how utterly terrible Rall is at his profession. Even when he makes cartoons with correct messages, the execution is horrendous.

Evolution may not be a linear march, but we can still recognise when something is a regression away from a fully erect, dignified, intelligent creature, to a stunted, fat, bottom feeding waste, and even if it is the best way to survive, its not a good thing. It still works perfectly.

I posted that article on Facebook in what I considered a fairly sarcastic manner, only to have a friend get upset and say "you know that isn't real, right?"

So naturally I responded "It totally did happen. The billion-dollar weed lobby is just trying to hide the FACTS! Do your research!"

He then posted a wall of text about how it would be scientifically impossible and how could I not tell that it was satire and blah-blah-blah. I was about to post the link to the Reefer Madness musical on youtube as my "final proof" but by the time I could find the link the guy had de-friended me.

They used to just leave their adult movies on top of the DVD players in the breakrooms of the factory I worked at.
When I was a mechanic it was considered 'subtle' when people left the magazines on the work bench instead of pinning them open on the tool wall.

It only got worse when I became a computer janitor.

Porn in the workplace has been a near constant in my various jobs, but I've always worked jobs with almost completely male workforces.

You'd be surprised how many people still read it. I wouldn't exactly pay for it but if I had a sub I'd at least flip through it. Sometimes they had a few interesting tidbits or articles. My uncle had a subscription for a fairly long time and there's a cardboard box full of the things in my parent's basement.

Plus on the scale of men's nudie mags, you could do a lot worse. At least they try to be tasteful for the most part. It is fairly common in blue-collar style jobs that have less...uh, 'politically correct' stuff going on. At least with my dad that was the case. There's a few women they keep it from but it's a bunch of solitary young men or older married guys. They're gonna pass that stuff around. It was cute when my dad got his first smartphone and started sending me pictures and asked how to get the chive like his younger co-workers on his phone. :allears:
