Title: SPECIAL OFFER
Post by: The Good Reverend Roger on October 26, 2016, 09:23:09 PM
We here at HowlCo™ would like to extend to you ABSOLUTELY FREE a chance to SHUT THE FUCK UP1!

If you're a Trump voter, we've known your beliefs since 75 years, and nothing about them has changed, so you shut the fuck up.  Bernie Sanders voters, it's over, so YOU shut the fuck up.  Jill Stein voters, take your meds and then shut the fuck up.  Clinton voters, you already have our votes and we can't vote twice, so nothing you can say will make the situation better, SO.  JUST.  SHUT.  UP.  Gary Johnson voters...um, you just keep doing your thing.  Loudly.  In public.  We're laughing with you.  Honest.

If you are "woke", shut the fuck up.  Seriously.  You are baby cultists, and that's boring.  If you are here to tell us taxation is theft, we are here to laugh until our guts bleed.  Some of us understand that the bills gotta get paid.  If you are an anti-vaxxer, shut up in the privacy of your own home, you plague-mongering cock-wobblers.  AND if you are here to tell us climate change isn't happening, go SHUT UP on the Marshall Islands.  While you still can.  Bring a snorkel.

Imagine, for a moment, that you are getting head from the person you secretly dream about, the person you find to be the most attractive thing since Bea Arthur.  Is there anything you can SAY that will enhance the moment, or are you just allowing a greater-than-zero chance that you will fuck it all up and they will stop and walk out the door?  Then SHUT UP.

Or perhaps you have just farted in the board room.  Everyone knows it was either you or the guy next to you.  Do you open your stupid fucking face and let the world know it was you, or do you just SHUT UP and glare at the unfortunate sitting beside you? That's right. 

We have always said that words are bad.  They are wrong.  They are an indication of a poor value set, and are most often employed by the sort of person who is selling you something2.  You hate that and we hate that, and only the cumbersome rule of law prevents us both from shutting them up with a crowbar.  In fact, the only GOOD words are the ones that make fun of Vladimir Putin, given that there is a small but extant chance that he will launch and then everyone will SHUT UP LIKE HELL.

Thank you for your time.



1  With purchase of equal or greater value.  Since this is the most valuable thing ever, it isn't actually free and we'll be sending the boys around.

2  Except for us, of course.  We are both different and exceptional.

I was tempted to screen cap and crop, but if you put a better graphic together I'll post it.

Gonna try a screen cap to practice with anyway.

Ok. I haven't done it yet. I'll wait. I hesitated rightly.

Unless you are Jimmy Walnuts, in which case people wake up with the severed head of their content on their bed.

Only one way to find out. Post it on FB and share with only me?

I'm pretty sure the polling station for Gary Johnson supporters is located in Aleppo.

I can do that.

Ok I can't apparently figure out how to do that without hand excluding all my friends one at a time, but I did a "me only" post test. Looks nice on my large screen phone. I could possibly crop it further to remove all evidence of the forum. I don't know.

Couldn't fit all the content and keep it legible. Verdict?

I kinda like the uncut version.  Maybe if you reduce the font size of paragraph 1 down to match paragraph 2?

It's really already not fitting well. Facebook is a cruel medium. Oh well, failure is part of the process.

If that's the case, leave it the way you have it.

I've been taking easy-money work holding advertising signs on the roadside for a furniture store proclaiming the "final days" of their sale.

Perhaps FB is not where the message might be best spread. Just thinking for now, but with a small budget for printing and plastic corrugated board stock the message and clothing marketing stuff could function with notable synergy.

Marketing may be the devil, but it DOES give one a pretext to spread the memes of choice.
