I don't understand why people think this is funny. I understand that coded messages are more entertaining, but the quote itself isn't funny, the coding itself is about as interesting as figuring out something writing left to right and there is no flow or rhythm or anything to reading it.

May I ask that you consider that the yearbook editor might not have allowed the coded message if it were in plain text? The humor comes from putting one over on "the man" as well as subverting expectations by a young woman expressing desire to "gently caress bitches."

Thus concludes my dissertation on that joke you didn't get.

Ugh, I went out to dinner a couple of weeks ago and the entire family beside our table was just like that. Looked like mom, dad, aunt, uncle, five kids between them, and grandpa; everyone except grandpa spent the entire time staring into their laps and screwing with their iPhone/android/iPad/PSP between poorly aimed bites of food. Grandpa looked dejected for a while then started reading a newspaper with a grouchy expression on his face. :smith:

Oh. OH. Holy poo poo, I thought they were pretending to eat invisible sandwiches.

To be honest, I thought they were the kind of people who take pictures of their food before they eat it when they go out. I hate those people.

I believe in this in the vast majority of cases. The exception is fine dining, the plating of the food can be art in of itself and worth taking a picture of. Anyways funny picture time.

Yep. There is a Tumblr devoted to this kind of dumbass: Pictures of Hipsters Taking Pictures of Food.

And here is a video parody: The iPhone 5 is for Food Photography.

And here is an article in The Daily Mail: 'Foodstagrammers' aren't just annoying - they may have a psychological problem, says leading psychiatrist.

Mom orders a cake for her graduate, and gets more than she bargained for

For those who don't want to read the story, the mom ordered a cake with her kid's picture on, and requested that they "draw a cap on her head" well...



But it's okay, apparently they are not even slightly upset by it, and took it as an amazing joke opportunity.

That's probably the least remarkable meal I've ever seen someone take a picture of. Perhaps he's a Yelper taking a photo to showcase that plate to show other potential customers examples of that franchise, but I sincerely doubt it.

edit: or possibly he's taking a photo of those napkins that somehow became orange with grease

You're not in a position to mock anyone if you're over 14 and still wear a baseball cap (backwards).

Yeah except if you're out at fine dining it's tacky as gently caress to whip out your phone and start taking photos of your food. Last time I went out someplace nice the dude next to me literally stopped a waiter to get a shot of something with his DSLR. What the gently caress.

It was in brackets. The meaning I took from it was that Jerry Cotton disapproves of anyone over 14 wearing a baseball cap in any way, but especially if it's backwards. :shrug:
