No, the difference isn’t just “high brow vs. low brow.” The difference is context, delivery, and intent. Monty Python’s joke is funny because it’s absurdist satire, made within a comedic setting where the exaggerated reaction is the punchline. Stupid bullshit on a sign in some dump isn’t a joke, it’s just an unoriginal, lazy attempt at humor relying on implied violence.
And nice try with the bad faith argument, but my problem isn’t “blue collar Americans” (cute deflection, by the way). My problem is with the idea that slapping a threat on a sign and calling it a joke is somehow on par with actual well executed comedy. If you can’t tell the difference, that’s on you.
Oh wow, comparing some rundown shithole “you’ll be shot” sign to Monty Python. totally the same thing. one’s a legendary, meticulously written comedy sketch, and the other is just some backwoods inbred clown thinking threats are peak humor. But sure, those fragile pieces of shit that open carry in an Applebees to feel manly, probably also love Monty python, what do I know.
Also satire is lost on this as this situation has probably actually happened in America plenty of times and it’s now reality.
You clearly have zero understanding of what you are talking about and it shows. Again, DEI doesn’t mandate quotas or force hiring specific people based on race or other. You are either racist, ignorant, or stupid…or all three.
That take is just lazy and stupid. DEI is about making sure qualified people aren’t overlooked because of bias. Businesses only care about making money, not some imaginary diversity quota that tanked everything. Which is why successful businesses like Costco and Apple voted to keep it. DEI isn’t affirmative action. Try again, but do better this time.
This can’t be real. There’s no way you actually believe this. Or is this just another conservative talking point? Imagine being this dumb to come up with this stuff and believe it.
Who? The US? That ship has saled. The Us consumer doesn’t want to pay what it costs to manufacture here as evidence of all the cheap crap everywhere and discount stores. We can’t compete with global wages, nor should we. Plus we don’t have the factories anymore.
Wow this is amazing informative and detailed. Thanks for taking the time to write this list out. We looked at parksville (I remember as a really young kid staying at tigh na mara and loved the beach. Glad to see it’s still a recommended area. Thanks again!
I’m American and instead of going on vacation somewhere in the US this year, we are instead going to British Colombia.
We are still planning, but if anyone has any good suggestions of activities for a family with kids under 10 of things to do on Vancouver island, please let me know!
The dumb and dumber explosive diarrhea scene, but it’s the Olive Garden bathroom.
