Well, since you obviously haven't been following the soccer games: There was a player who bit another player. And we are not talking about a little love bite, it left some bloody toothmarks on his shoulder, naturally the president of his country claimed that the video had been photoshopped and the player had been framed. There was also controversy because he was known to be a biter, this was something that had happened a few times already but he had been allowed to play because the league likes money and not letting a big-name player play might have been counter to that goal.

Anyway, that incident has now been made fun of all over the internet and media and it has even been used in commercials.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

So soccer has it's own Mike Tyson!

Actually I have been following the world cup seeing as how MY country is still in it.  I know all about the incident in question.  Hell, I watched it happen.  I just don't see why putting every player in the cone of shame makes any form of sense in this case.  It'd funnel someone's shoulder to the mouth pretty easily.

Ironbite-now a Lector style mask would probably work better for Suarez.

I realize this is a polandball cartoon, but it feels like it fits here...

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

This comic would make its point much more effectively if it showed that the man asking the questions was trans and that the straight couple had asked those questions first.

If you look at it logically, cannibalism has great potential to simultaneously solve our overpopulation and food shortage problems.

*comic*

Actually, that might spoil the joke a bit. The point is that the reader realises that the questions are highly inappropriate and the explanation for those comes when the comic points out that trans* persons face those types of questions quite often.

So, yeah it could have been a comic about someone asking a FTM guy inappropriate questions and then he complains about it, but instead it turns the concept around to make it more obvious how absurd this double standard is.
