Someone snapped this picture off their TV and broke the internet

[DonViejo]

The scene: a living room in Georgia.

The plot: a viewer of the Olympic Games named Kari Kelly saw something unusual during the Germany – Canada field hockey match in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Something that prompted her to take her smartphone, snap a picture and tweet it to the world.

This is that picture:

1. Put it on the back of a red Trump hat.

3. You win the thread

[bighart]

6. Is it some kind of insult?

Is that why it should be on a trump hat?
Please explain why you think it should be on a trump hat.

[Lee-Lee]

10. It's ok to be homophobic if it's anti-Trump too evidently

Must have been a memo I missed...

[bighart]

[bighart]

7. Why is that?

Is it an insult?
Please explain your reason for thinking it should be on "every t-rump t-shirt".

15. Please allow me to explain.

It looks like, reading through this thread, you have recognized a pattern here at DU and are questioning it.

Yes, it is normal for DUers to fling shit at political opponents that may have connotations of bigotry or hate attached. At DU, as long as it's flung at a Republican, it's fair game. Most don't seem to "get" the connection between their own impulse and the bigotry they criticize in others, or the hypocrisy in engaging in behavior that offends them in others.

At the same time, the random pairing of words that create unintended phrases is funny. The screen shot is funny, as are the others further down in the post. It's funny because it's unexpected and unplanned.

17. I too find the word pair humorus

I don't however find demeaning words and slurs known to be used against marginalized and oppressed people funny when directed at anyone as an insult, regardless of whether or not I agree with the person they are directed at or not.

Directing such demeaning words and slurs at someone that you disagree with is no better than directing them at the group they are intended to insult.

I find bigotry and hypocrisy ugly and unacceptable regardless of who it is directed toward and do not hesitate to point it out when it is blatant and very obvious.

24. Thank you

[dawg]

20. I agree with you.

It's not appropriate to use as an insult.

[bighart]

25. Thank you

[LanternWaste]

23. Hence, two people can laugh at the same thing yet one laugh is inappropriate

"I too find the word pair humorus (sic)..."

Hence, two people can laugh at precisely the same thing; yet while one laugh is wholly inappropriate, the other laugh is not?

[bighart]

26. I find the irony and humor in the words togther in that setting

Not in them being used as an insult directed at someone.

See the difference?

27. LOL! My brother went to school with a kid named...

... Harry Hole.

Another kid was named Billy Beaver... and he had a sex change operation when he got older too.

My Mom was interviewed for a job at a restaurant called "The Proud Pig"... by a man named Dick Duck.

So he was Dick Duck of Proud Pig.
