Yeah I hate to say it but the point brought up by Marjane Satrapi is not open to ridicule. Considering that there is a pretty serious effort to have a stupid war with Iran, I'm not ready to criticize people for putting this out there just because it might offend somebody's ultra-cool sensibilities.

And really, I'm ready to make fun of people for these kinds of posts about 98% of the time... But not about this.

don't mind the satrapi one, apart from the fact that it's another fucking fb image macro. good picture, too. she's rather not fight than switch.

MY ULTRACOOL SENSIBILITIES ARE OFFENDED

Listen, I'm not disagreeing with her point or ridiculing it. I am ridiculing the people that made it into an ugly .jpg.

Satrapi smokes, I guess she & her country are FAIR GAME given the stringent criteria laid out by the righteous "I am a girl"

Is it really that bad looking? I've stared at worse things.

Iran does like to start a drama to get attention.

Okay you are officially a total dipshit.

Vic Perry, Saturday, 21 July 2012 20:32 (eleven years ago) link

That Shell thing is actually pretty funny.

Okay okay okay, I wasn't trying to bring an argument about Iran into this thread. I like Satrapi and her work. I in fact agree with some of the points that the stupid JPEG memes are trying to make, but taking the quote, putting it in Times new Roman in MS paint with a picture of the artist and throwing it on the Internet to try to make it seem Profound kind of achieves the opposite.

Also, I was riffing off of your comment about the smoking making her and her country fair game, which I thought was a joke, but apparently this issue pushes your buttons? If that's the case, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to start a (non-metal related) argument on the Internet.

Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Saturday, 21 July 2012 20:39 (eleven years ago) link

You know, I swore off arguing with strangers on the internet and here I am again, but really I need to control myself. So final points: Not that I can say what the image is "meant" to achieve, but I think the idea is not to be "profound" but to point out that the people in Iran aren't some weird aliens we should casually be talking about killing in mass numbers: they are kind of like....us. The use of Times New Roman font would tend to underscore this point, much as the photo would. If it is banal in presentation (again I don't really see how it's so bad) then that contributes to the message, basically. And I think I should go away now.
