I would like to know what's so funny about a blatant human rights violation

How is a strong piece of irony a human rights violation?
Posted 15 months ago. ( permalink )

jeffrey.hulett says:

That is funny... some people just don't think about what they are doing or saying... for instance look at 'Im The Darkcyde'.

Great Capture dead-ro.

Nice photo editting and delicious irony.

Just some dust says:

Maybe by "we", they mean the literal we, as in people these days, as opposed to people in 1936.

Or maybe they're just twits.

.Trev says:

Yeah, I hope it was irony. Or, just fact-check your protest posters on wikipedia or something. Otherwise you'll just look like an asshole.

Posted 15 months ago. ( permalink )

excellent capture - and you must have really cranked your shutter speed up nice & fast - the camera shake from all the giggling must've been a right b***ard ...... :-)

yeah this guy complete failed history. i believe 1936 olympics were hosted at nazi germany where usa beat germany with two afro guys in the track and field where the fuhrer himself was present. best moment in sports ever...

Oh, history. What would we do without you? Oh, right... create signs like these. Nevermind.

Come On People.... We are trying to make a point.

dead-ro says:

Since the things on the sign are tibetian prayer flags, I have to say this was for real. If it was money, then it would be irony.

ouch.

That is one of the best things I've seen in a long time. When will protesters educate themselves?!

LordBru says:

i really had to take a double check on this. I don't know what this says about me but I honestly believe that individual doesn't know.
The lack of history in our protesters' minds is scary. i believe this is why so many are thinking socialist ideas are good these days, most of our college students weren't alive to witness the cold war. And it's not being taught to them. I doubt many know about how 6,000,000 was a mere fraction compared to stalin's "accomplishments".

kirichiri says:

Me thinks someone has fascism, socialism and communism mixed up. *rolls eyes*

Yeah, socialism is terrible. Just look at places like Canada and Sweden and the UK, where their residents don't lose everything they have and have to file for bankruptcy if they become seriously ill.

No one thinks for themselves. So many here are nothing but chattel, and this picture and many of the comments here prove that.
