He watches Alex Jones. I don't know how often though.

I kind of wonder what would happen if I wrote a sci-fi/fantasy book with this "mythos" in place.

You should do it, they say the best art comes from a dark place and I think it would make a good film.  :)

Then again, I'm sure my dad could make just as bizarre a sci-fi-flick.  :(

I've actually played around with the idea of genetically enhanced Chaotic Stupid cat mercenaries that have to contend with a bunch of other evil organizations of my own devising. I want to throw in PETA and my dad's conspiracy theories for the lulz. And then I'll twist it around and say it's actually about art. Yeah, it's stupid. Whatcha gonna do about it? ::)

My dad buys Mexican Coca-Cola because apparently it uses cane sugar and not aspartame (which according to him causes cancer).

I think all soda tastes like piss, by the way.

I've heard worse. I heard someone say aspartame is part of a government conspiracy to kill all the black people for population control. And somehow Michael Jackson's death was worked into it. I think it was something about him being killed so he didn't tell everyone about the conspiracy :o. Why would he know? I guess someone told him thinking he was one of us whiteys or something. The person who said this was an otherwise "normal" and sane person.

According to my dad, aspartame is just another plot by Big Pharma (which is run by the Bilderberg eugenicists) to give people cancer. Michael Jackson was killed by Big Pharma assassins to distract people from "what's really going on", but has little to do with aspartame.

Does he realize how insane that sounds? Why the fuck would a pharmaceutical company have or hire assassins? Why would you give peoplle cancer, aren't there enough natural disease that you could make money off of by finding a treatment?

Also, does he realize just how stupid and silly the term "Big Pharma" sounds? ;D

Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

I prefer my Michael Jackson theory: namely, that he was assassinated by Iran to distract the world from the protests.

Sorry, but that hardly qualifies as a 'Best' cartoon. I may agree with its message, but I can't find it actually funny.

(That's actually what's wrong with this (and the other) entire thread. 'Best' and 'Worst' are supposed to be about quality, instead they're divided along political stance)
That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.

I don't know, but if Dr. McNinja is anything to go by, it's probably possible.

"Best" can also apply to the message, when did the message of the cartoon stop applying, if you come across a right wing cartoon with a good message please post it.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

Just to make Yla happy


I sure would love to see if the cartoonist(Micheal Ramirez) feels the same way towards conservative superpacs, after all he is a conservative...

Watch out, you might be falling into the "Bill Cinton had an affair, why don't liberals go him like they do (Insert Most Recent Case Here)?" trap. The cartoon appears to be criticizing Obama for simultaneously railing against Super PACS while using one or similar fundraising methods himself (whether or not that's accurate? I don't know). The cartoon itself isn't trying to express any sort of view on SuperPACS.

Sadly Obama did say he hates superpacs while having one

I'll probably become well acquainted with that feeling once I leave college.
