More from the KKK-gate. (Actually I am not sure what it will be called. "something-gate" isn't used for scandals in Finland.)



"City council member from the Finns, Martti Mäkelä lost his way and ended up in a photo with the Ku Klux Klan."

This is a reference to another politician from the Finns who "accidentally" posed in a photo with a group of neo-nazis called SVL (Liberation front of Finland.). Apparently he was only supposed to celebrate the most famous political assassination in the history of Finland with one group of ultra-nationalist, the Suomen Sisu (Sisu of Finland. ...Yeah, that wasn't much of a translation) but the other group, which is more violent, has been involved in organized attacks on people they don't like and openly declares to be a national socialist organization "simply happened to be there by coincidence."

And now, once again, a politician from the Finns accidentally KKK.

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."

Seeing and reading about these guys just gives me chills. On a lighter mocking note, dude that Dunce hat is all wrong. Too fussy and medieval looking. Use a wrinkled polyester pillow case if you want that authentic, hickory-smoked Klan look.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

And ironically, it looks like the Capirote, a hood used by devout Spanish Catholics.

Yeah. I remember seeing a pic of those guys. There's some big important feast day there and a parade of guys in hooded gettups like those make a solemn procession down the street.

Well; I've now seen it all.....The Ku Klux Klan has a European branch.  :P

I don't think there is an official branch of KKK here. The guy is probably just an individual fanboy/imitator.

A bunch of supposed Finnish nationalists flat out copying the biggest assholes in America.

That's really rather pathetic when you stop and think about it.

Yeah, you're right. I saw this on another site. Also, the hood is a big paper cone, which is why it looks so "fussy", "medieval" & "European-y". Nope; The guy just took a huge white sheet of construction paper, made a cone and added eye-holes.

Wow! It's the ultimate wet dream for Douchebro!

That would be scary!

But why does Douche look like a middle-aged frump? He's more of a "teenybopper fratboy kid-jerk".

Whatever. His face is very punchable. There should be a line of Martin Shikreli Punching Bags.

Now, this dork is annoying Canada! So, this creep is sticking his pointy little nose in other countries business!

His company isn't big. It's hardly legit and the name (Turing) is ironic because it's not worthy of that great man's name (even if it's likely that it doesn't refer to him). It's simply a Ponzi scheme. A joke meant to defraud.

Is it just me or is a cartoon version of Ahmed Mohamed kinda adorkable?

The text is also a very accurate representation of the mindset of bigots.
