CERTIFIED FRESH AS HELL DOC MAKER

made of bees posted:

Do other Israelis care that much about Pollard or is his obsession weird even by Israeli standards?

Kirschen is on the far end of the spectrum of Pollard, even most Israelis who care about Pollard don't constantly produce content that has to do with freeing Pollard.

I mean, I don't personally know any people who care enough about Pollard to want him out of jail, but he's going free in a year anyways? At this point, why try and get the U.S. government to set him free? You've tried for 29 years, you should give up now.

If that Dry Bones haggadah didn't cost money and as a result give money to Kirschen, I would totally get it, strange Haggadot are usually amusing and fun to look through.

edit: poo poo, new page, have a comic in Hebrew


The text is parodying a classic sort of kids' song that usually goes "Saturday morning, nice day/Mom drinks a lot of coffee/Dad reads a lot of newspaper/and they'll buy me a lot of baloon"

The comic goes "Saturday morning, nice day/Policewoman drinks a lot of coffee/Policeman reads a lot of newspaper/and someone popped my baloon"

The newspaper reads "wave of crime in Rehovot", basically the cartoon is "organized crime is fighting in the streets again, and the police aren't doing enough about it!"

I mostly like that both the car exploding and the baloon popping both have the "BOOM!" sound effect. (Hebrew doesn't actually have a different word for explode, pop and detonate, they're all the same, but that doesn't excuse this)

Oh, sure, maybe he doesn't spend all that much time actually drawing the comic, but there's still the fact that 70 to 80 hours of research per week goes into those cartoons. The man's an inspiringly hard worker, it's no surprise he likes to unwind with a bit of alcoholism every now and then.

I never heard about Pollard until I started reading the SA political toons threads. Then suddenly when Obama came to visit there were some billboards demanding him be released. Then some time ago they showed up again (I'm guessing maybe for Kerry this time? Maybe Biden?).

I wouldn't be surprised if it's just Israelis looking for a reason to hate Obama.

Snafutoon may not be done by an actual person but may be the physical manifestation of stupid conservative talking points. Like nobody knows where these things come from, they just show up under Ted Cruz's pillow at night and he finds them in the morning and scans them in.

Because the thing that powered bitcoin wasn't just gullible e-goldbugs; child porn, drugs and other illegal horrors used it as an intermediary that allowed them to transfer money semi-anonimously between themselves. TOR was where you'd use the dollar value of said bitcoins to pay for the aforementioned illegal poo poo.

That looks like some 4chan image macro. The onion is an icon for either tor or tor browser, and tor is an anonymization network that hides your origin. Silk road (the online marketplace that used bitcoin) used tor to stay hidden.

That's what I like about Snafu -- he's actually obsessed with political cartoons, and constantly posts them to his blog. He's like the distillation of stupid politoons into their most basic and poorly-drawn essence. So he sees a comic where Michelle is fat and one where she's fitness obsessed and draws her as both at once.



Also, remember that Pants-on-the-Ground Donkey that someone in the thread commissioned from Snafu a few months ago? It's still listed on his website as the most recent commission. How can this man exist with no income? Is he even real?
