This would probably go better in the funny/stupid pictures thread.  Funny though this comic may be, I really don't think it counts as "political."
Should have used the NSA one, but I think I posted that one months ago.

Well, that comic is about the controversy surrounding the mobile version of Dungeon keeper. Basically, when they ask you to rate the game you get two options: 5 stars or a button that says 1-4 stars. But if you click the latter it opens up a page that asks you why on Earth aren't you satisfied and you have to send an email to the developers first to be able to give anything less than 5 star review.

Actually, I'm not even sure if it registers the 1-4 star button as a review, they just might only make the 5 star button affect the rating of the game. That way a F2P game that is unplayable unless you sink huge amounts of money into it can boast an "over 4 stars average score."

Huh?

...Haven't you noticed how people use the word holocaust to refer to whatever mistreatment they feel they have suffered?

The comic refers to this case I think: http://www.businessinsider.com/tom-perkins-nazi-email-2014-1

He really feels that what the Occupy movements is doing to billionaires is identical to what the nazis did to the jews.

Basically, it's comparing the "persecution" exotic pet owners go through to the human rights abuses against political dissidents in Burma.

It's a contrast to show "first world privilege".
