Best NY Times typo ever

[Ruby the Liberal]

:rofl:

[NYC_SKP]

1. I can't tell which one is which!

But they both look fabulous!

:hi:

[Kennah]

3. One on the left is President Bachelet

She's the one holding the Presidental Wand

[Major Hogwash]

4. Hillary is the one with Obama's magic wand, silly.

On the left, of course.

LoL

[BlueIris]

7. Good one.

I think.

[progressoid]

13. The shoes give it away

Hillary can wear white for a few more days until it's Labor day.

[Ken Burch]

2. "...Representamos a la Liga Del Arrullo..."

[hlthe2b]

5. I see they captured her more angelic side...

;) that's funny.

[The Straight Story]

6. Hillary just does not look good in red... (nt)

[aquart]

8. Oddly, this wasn't funny the first time it was posted, either.

[Major Hogwash]

9. There's one in every crowd.

Today, you're it.

HAHAHA!!!!

[Control-Z]

10. Nah. At least two.

I'm missing the humor, myself. I can't figure out why it is supposed to be funny, or the best typo ever.:shrug:

[Major Hogwash]

12. Did you guys come in the same car?

Usually there are more clowns packed in than just 2.

[aquart]

24. Ah. Ridiculing women is your idea of humor.

Well, that explains why you find that picture and caption funny.

[AngryAmish]

32. THis is so awesome

Ths is why I come to DU.

[A HERETIC I AM]

26. Now THAT'S funny!

"Usually there are more clowns packed in than just 2."


:spray: :spray: :rofl:

[Ter]

15. Because those two people aren't Clinton and the Chilean Prez like the caption says

What makes it funnier is they aren't even two ordinary people, they are both silly looking. Now that I explained it, feel free to laugh. :)

[Control-Z]

16. Getting the caption wrong on a photo

is THAT funny? The best ever by NY Times? Well, there's setting a low bar.

[Ter]

17. It's not the best caption mistake ever

But the fact that they look like midgets trying to look like clowns (with one holding a wand like a witch, no less!) makes it all the more funnier.

[Control-Z]

18. If you find midget, clown-witches to be offensive

and so dislike HRC, I guess connecting them is really quite the funny insult, and worth the stretch.

[Ter]

19. I actually love Hillary

I voted for her in the primary. I'd think it was funny no matter who the two were, Hillary or not.

"Midget clown-witches" made me crack up again. :)

[Control-Z]

20. Oh my gosh. I think I get it now.

You're one of those people who loves (or loved - I don't know if it's still in production) the program "punked", aren't you?

[Warren DeMontague]

22. Perhaps a several page deconstructive analysis of the heteronormative gender issues, class and race

stereotyping, as well as blatant height-and-lookism (not to mention overt discrimination against wiccans, non-unionized circus employees, and winged persons) perpetuated by the patriarchal phallocentric male gaze of the average bourgeois NY Times reader would further elucidate the alleged humor-producing properties and culturally conditioned guttural "laugh" response of this, oh, what is it called again, "Joke"?

[Control-Z]

23. It would be ok to admit - liking that program.

A lot of people do. But you're fooling no one by trying to muddy those waters with your non answer answer. Your sense of humor is different than mine. You find humor in things I don't. Perhaps I'm humor impaired, or it could be something else altogether. Understanding our differences and accepting them is really all that matters.

Peace

[Warren DeMontague]

37. I've never seen it, honestly.

Once my wife and I were in France, stuck sick in a tiny hotel room and the only English tv we could get was "Jackass". Sadly, we found humor there, too, particularly one bit where a guy in dressed in a full santa suit went in for a full colonic irrigation.

I'm not sure why it was funny; I guess I just appreciate the ludicrous.

[Ter]

29. Never seen it

But I love toilet humor. The Austin Powers series is one of my favorites. :)

[aquart]

25. Even less funny now.

Amazing how that works. "Silly looking"?

[Ter]

31. You don't find midget clown-witches silly looking?

:rofl:

[Occulus]

33. Midget clown-witches WITH WINGS.

They are to the tooth fairy as elves are to Santa.

[Ruby the Liberal]

11. Borowitz tweeted it earlier today and I marked it on my phone to share

Sorry - didn't know it was a repeat.

Oh, and BTW - the photo isn't the funny part, the typo by NYTimes is...

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. I got it, and I think it was funny.

:+

[aquart]

27. Borowitz has hits and misses. This was a miss.

The typo wasn't funny because of the picture. And no, I totally don't expect you to get it.

[Warren DeMontague]

21. Apparently, they just flew in.

Clinton looks refreshed, but "Pledge of Aid" looks kind of tired.

[Book Lover]

28. Do you even know what a typo is?

Because a misplaced caption is not it. And laughing at women born with a physical defect,, no matter how they're dressed, in seriously uncool.

[itsallhappening]

30. You're right about "typo," but the phony posturing is a bit overdone.

[Book Lover]

36. Phony?

Whatever.

[itsallhappening]

38. Yes.

The point of the OP wasn't to make fun of the people in the picture. But I guess some people can't resist the chance to be "offended" by something, even if it's not there.

[Gemini Cat]

34. Laughing at ANYONE born with a physical defect is not funny.

Like you said seriously uncool.

[Ezlivin]

35. She'll be leaving shortly

Thank you. I'll be here all week.
