Comments from the political cartoons thread

This may or may not be a political cartoon, but I'll post it anyway.

Seems to me a little premature. Obviously there's been a lot of screeching about their DRM, but is there any evidence that it's noticeably affected sales?

It's in reference to the problems Ubisoft has had keeping there DRM servers online. They tried to prevent piracy, but pirates can play their game just fine while paying customers can't.

I find this quite apt considering things.

That just a "slow news day" one, or is the FCC actually trying to do something to censor the net?

Nope. It's the FCC is trying to do quite a few things that are behind the times. Such as just now starting to regulate net neutrality.

You could call this "energy policy" I suppose

Finnish comic called Fingerpori:


What it says is that the green energy festival wants them to build a car that produces it's own energy, and the other guy says he's on it! Cue the festival...

This post was made by mistake, i apologize.

I like howretarded Exceptional Learner the BP guy looks. If I had a different political opinion, I'd probably call this a TERRIBLE POLITICAL CARTOON, but as I am now I think it's hilarious.

His arms are hanging out like a Zombie too.

Next to the mice should be a scroll with birth certificate on it and them pretending it's not there.

He has shown it to them and the 'birthers' still refuse to acknowledge it.

^^^How true.

[Crossroads Inc.]

WOW! That is a good summary of virtually every type of Libertarian I have ever witnessed or encountered. I would say personally most I encounter in Arizona tend to be a mix of:

"NAIVE"
"DENIAL-ICAN"
"TERRIFIED"
"THE ISLAND"

I'd say the big one I notice are the Denial-icans, I can't tell you how many Libertarians I talk to who will vehemently deny they are Republicans or Conservatives, but can't think of a single progressive ideal they support, or Democrat they have ever voted for.

[Razorgeist]

^^^Those ones seem to be the most prevalent. Though most of them have changed there tunes from not conservative or republican to non-partisan.

Thanas and Typo's debate on the merits of various republics split here.

[Isolder74]

I'm not sure if a comedy webcomic constitutes a political cartoon other then it has a political bent to it.

[darthdavid]

It's a cartoon, it's political and I was reminded of the strip because of the natural 'medicine' anti breast cancer screening dreck in the terrible political cartoons thread so I don't really see the problem here.

What is hanging from that dudes hat Einy?

What is hanging from that dudes hat Einy?

Teabags, obviously.

[Darmalus]

Am I missing some reference with Biden and the feather duster, or is he just window dressing?

Obama has taken out the portraits out of storage and hanged them near himself, a reference to Obama's choice of Oval Office decorations.

[The Spartan]

It's also pointing out that two, generally well thought of, presidents in the past who fired (in part or in whole) Generals for running their mouths.

[tim31]

I like how Abe is recognisable, but Harry needs a legend at the base of the frame.

Teabags, obviously.

If it was obvious, he wouldn't have asked.

[Aaron]

Thanks Tim. Yeah, I don't follow US politics as closely as some. I took it to be tinfoil TBH.

[Ritterin Sophia]

That second one got a pretty good chuckle out of me. Kudos on finding it, Chief.

Hey orange, that Oil Spill cartoon is hysterical and SPOT ON.

I am sure we could fill a whole THREAD with nothing but cartoons using the oil slick as a metaphor for some issue.

[LaCroix]

Perfect. Reminds me of Dr. House ranting about children-sized caskets in various colors to a vaccination-denier mom.

[D.Turtle]

Not strictly a political cartoon, but too good to pass up (and its origin does have a political background, namely Dawkins - among others- demanding the arrest of the pope):
