Posted here because I don't know where else to go with it:

The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

- Start date
The article itself is pretty empty and all, but what took my attention was this in the side bar:
Y'know, reminded me of the Olympic Games sexist thing about some people being reported about as "Bob's daughter" or "John's wife" rather than themselves.
Now, to be clear, I don't mean "oh see it happens the other way around too" or "oh now it's no problem anymore" and least of all "oh god when it happens to men it's bad!". It just struck me as sort of funny. Also, I've never heard of either of these people.

I'm currently sitting at a family reunion. Not mine. I'm the entertainment. And there's only about 40 people and most of them are either older than dirt or under the age of 2. This is not going to go well.
Plus, I've been set up since 3 and dinner does't start for another 1/2 hour. I'm bored out of my gourd.

Well, their last name is Whipple...so I can do toilet paper humor. Maybe the older folks will get it.[DOUBLEPOST=1472943847,1472943579][/DOUBLEPOST]There is an old toilet paper commercial for Charmin toilet tissue. The spokesperson was Mr. Whipple. I'd link a video, but I'm using the computer for background music so I can't play videos.
Just talk about those early days you all shared, you know, during the hunter-gatherer years of humanity.
Interesting. "Don't squeeze th'Sharmin'!"

Every once in a while a post on Reddit rises above the normal crap and just shines.
This one is about the Kennedy assassination, but it's about Lee Harvey Oswald's mother, wife, and kids and what happened to them after the shooting. It's amazingly interesting and it's something that I've frankly never thought about. I had no idea Oswald had a wife and kids!
This is the slide show that goes with it, although there's a LOT more stuff in the comments by the OP.

Wendy's has these new ads for the Baconator sandwich with food puppets...
Am I the only one who thinks they've got disturbing racist undertones?

Probably not, but I think that's a long stretch, as this seems to be drawing parallels to drug testing (unless you're talking about drug use in disadvantaged minorities, in which case I will note that drug testing seems to actually helps reduce racial bias in hiring, same as background checks).
Hah, I didn't even look at the title, just watched the video. Totally missed that.The wording is a pretty clear callback to this:
Great, Fatboy Slim's stuck in my head now.
Clearly you never read 11/22/63 by Stephen King!
Clearly you've never read the short story "The Egg" and therefore believe that you've lived every life that ever has and ever will exist!

FATBOY SLIM?!? The fuck you talking about? That song is by the Five Man Electrical Band. Or, if you're feeling more up to date, Tesla.
*grumble*fatboy fucking slim my ass.*grumble*[DOUBLEPOST=1473045834,1473045710][/DOUBLEPOST]
It's OK, I understand you're wearing nostalgia earplugs a mile thick

People on Facebook are so fucking dumb. And my wife is one of them.
An airline company posted that you have 24 hours to share, type the number 2 (for some reason), and then go to a website. And all of these people just fucking did it. Including my wife. Clicking on the Facebook page shows that they created it 3 days ago, and have also created other Facebook pages with airline names with a period somewhere in the name.
Seriously? You idiots.

I feel your pain, it's not my wife, but tons of friends and family. "Hey! We're giving away 6 day 5 night vacations for 5 to and $3000 spending money to Walt Disney World! All you have to do is share this post and type "Thanks" in the comments and you could win!"
Yep, understand completely.
Increasingly inaccurate trilogy
