Spot the Man

This picture is in response to the conversation we had in the chat today. Can anyone spot the man is this picture. Here's a hint it's not the guy holding the camera. (e:jason) this is for you:

I'm not sexist but I thought this was kinda funny.

With humor this time, MrDT

If memory serves me correctly, this was from the ridiculous "protest" at Augusta National. The women wanted to force Augusta National, a private club owned and operated by its members, to invite a woman to their club. They are the bullies, not that jackass holding up the sign.

I think it does take a big brass set of nuts to hop in front of a group of ultra-feminists and hold up that sign. I'm surprised he still has his limbs. It's not like too many haters of other groups have the sack to stand in front of their enemy and say what they think...usually it's done from far, far away - with the stroke of a keyboard or pen.

i had an epileptic seizure while watching punked and any mention of such things puts me in a very vulnerable place. sensitivity would be appreciated!

man, you got me!

jenks writes at 05:29:02 03/04/06 - Comment #5287: haha imk! You've been punk'd!

AA is for quitters! [my mom is an alcoholic, I am allowed to make AA jokes.]

And I think the original picture is quite funny.

you have my deepest apologies. my father was too, an alcoholic, but nothing could save him. i certainly understand where you're coming from.

jenks writes at 09:59:41 03/04/06 - Comment #5282: imk, I don't appreciate that comment about AA. My mother is an alcoholic and AA saved her life and I don't think it's something to joke about. Please respect that.

;)

imk2 writes at 07:50:39 03/04/06 - Comment #5277: It can be funny and offensive concurringly. If I was a woman standing in that picture, sure, yes, I would be peeved and offended. But letâ€™s admit, there are many things we find ourselves chuckling at all the while knowing that it is inappropriate or hurtful or just plain immoral. Thereâ€™s a time and place, maybe a public blog is and maybe it isnt the venue to post such things. But then again, looking at my journal entries, I bet thereâ€™s a fair amount of offensive crap that many people would rather not see or read. mrdt asked, and so everyone is welcome to voice their opinion. People, you donâ€™t have to defend your posts whenever someone says something you donâ€™t like. Thatâ€™s to be expected. Be comfortable enough with your ideas so that you donâ€™t get defensive each time they are challenged. Put it out there, hear what is said, and move on. If you want everyone to agree with you and praise you go to an AA meeting.

ajay writes at 02:30:31 03/04/06 - Comment #5269: Firstly, (e:Joshua), this is goddamn public journal. It is meant for other people to read. If you don't want others to read what you write, then don't write it here! Write it in your little diary like the kid that you are.

It doesn't feel very funny when someone picks on you, does it? I rest my case. ;-)

joshua writes at 01:57:58 03/04/06 - Comment #5267: P.S. Ajay, if I policed other peoples journals as persistantly as you do because I found something I didn't like, I'd be collecting payment from you for accuracy and quality review.

joshua writes at 01:56:08 03/04/06 - Comment #5266: Whether the women think its funny or not is beside the point and irrelevant. Yeah, the guy is a jackass - that is fairly obvious. Take a look at the crowd - if you think those girls wouldn't or couldn't stick up for themselves you have got to be an fool... and you are.

No, there was no humor in your statement, and even if there was, nobody would understand you. The rest of what you wrote (thankfully it was brief) is meaningless drivel that nobody cares about. You challenging my or DT's manhood or guts somehow is absolutely hilarious to me - now, THAT is actually funny. So perhaps your sense of humor has a future after all. ;-D

ajay writes at 12:39:28 03/04/06 - Comment #5259: Why not ask the women if they think it's funny?

BTW: it doesn't require any cojones to insult a group that you know won't fight back.

But what would you two know about cojones anyways?

(see any humor in the above statement? ;-) )

joshua writes at 11:42:00 03/03/06 - Comment #5258: Ajay doesn't detect humor well, even if its in poor taste. Counter protesting is apparently bullying now, huh Ajay? Anyway, I thought it was funny. You have to give him this - that took cajones.

mrdt writes at 10:27:48 03/03/06 - Comment #5254: it's a joke lighten up!!!

ajay writes at 10:21:48 03/03/06 - Comment #5253: I don't see a man in there... I just see a bully trying to compensate for something by insulting women. Looking at the size of his sign, he sure has a lot of compensating to do...
