The GIF That Keeps On Giving

[Harlan Huckleby]

You make it sound like it's mob rule and capriciousness all at the same time. Perhaps it's just common sense.

No, not common, for instance I doubt your own sense is that the Zapruder clip needs to be banned from the eyes of the sensitive folk at Packerrats.

I agree that the Zapruder clip was somewhat offensive, and if the policy is that any image that is even remotely offensive is verbotten in packer room, that's OK with me. My issue is an arbitrary, on-the-fly censorship in response to some angry Muslims. And I didn't like Kiwon & others denigrating my character over such a thing, even if slings and arrows are fair game.

BTW, I very much am down with angry Muslims, they are my peeps. Why shouldn't people get super-pissed off at their religion being mocked in media? I think the people who put-down Muslims probably have their own intolerances over much more trivial issues. Why, see the furor over the familar Zapruder images!

Love the thread title.

How in the hell did I miss a GIF of the Zapruder film post here?

Dude. Where do we start..........

So we can denigrate your character over other issues?

These rough PR men are becoming more metrosexual. They have feelings and emotions that need to be expressed.

Here I was hoping this was going to be a thread with awesome GIFs in it.

My 2 cents on this thing. It was just poor taste. Sometimes people try to be funny and it doesn't work out. Doesn't make you a bad person. It just means it was a bad joke. Let's not waste too much time discussing this and let's post great GIFs instead.

piss off or I'll break your skull open with a tire iron.

And I'll scratch your eyes out,...... but wait, that'll mess up my manicure.

Alright, you win THIS round, but next time if you anger me I'm gonna spam mail you and mess up your Facebook page. If it really gets extreme, I might even "de-friend" you.

from the McCarthy Has Adjusted/Capers Hasn't complaint thread:

There wasn't any brain splatter. It was just a fuzzy 3 second clip that kept repeating over and over in cyberspace until a mod deleted it.

That's a lot of certainty from an innocent, 3 second and fuzzy clip. Want to reconsider your diagnosis there Dr. Video? What was the spray composed of exactly?

And which bodily fluids/matter and at what volume am I allowed to object to its placement on a football board without being labeled a crybaby or politically correct?

Do I really need to check the Packer Rats Packers board when no one else is home?

I see a list of posters decrying those who objected, but no defense that the pic actually belonged. Do we really need posted rules about a GIF showing a man having his brains blown out?

Just in case you missed it, I think this, while not the same GIF, gets the point across. It might be safe for freedom of speech and for the Warren Commission, but its not safe for work. http://media.photobucket.com/image/j...nation.gif?o=1

Exactly. Time to move on.

Wow, a triple whammy. Maybe the QB should have been flagged for losing too many points on his "spike."
