Enh. (First!)

Not a way to wake anyone up on a Friday morning... ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

|7.17.09 @ 8:17AM|

To amplify kilroy, EPIC FAIL.

|7.17.09 @ 8:49AM|

Really guys? I thought this was the funniest Friday Funny ever. I know that's not saying much but it's a first from where I sit.

Ben Kenobi|7.17.09 @ 8:57AM|

Just imagine the Team America Kim Jong Il reading out the cartoon. It makes it slightly funny.

Wasn't last month's Bad Guy of Cyberspace China? And before that "Eastern European hackers".

For someone who works in the security field this is a pretty damn good one.

Untermensch|7.17.09 @ 9:15AM|

I agree. This one works better than most. The idea of someone full of rhetoric about destruction resorting to DOS attacks is inherently amusing. But, given the demographic of most libertarians, this one may hit a little too close to home, hence the statements of failure: this is how too many of our readers would actually try to take action, and being compared to Kim Jong Il doesn't exactly stroke anyone's ego, except maybe Kim Jon Il's own one.

|7.17.09 @ 9:45AM|

Yep, you caught me. I'm the guy sitting in front of my computer all night manually sending spam emails to government servers. I only shouted fail because I hate being compared to that funny-looking Korean.

Idiot.

|7.17.09 @ 9:49AM|

Not funny.
Not relevant.

I almost smiled. Granted, i hadn't had coffee yet.

C-, unless we're grading Friday "Funnies" on a curve. In which case, A.

Untermensch|7.17.09 @ 10:37AM|

Well John-David, I never claimed to be anything more than an idiot, hence my nom-de-guerre, which clearly shows my feelings of self loathing. And of course, you are right that this is an EPIC fail, on par with the Hindenburg, the Titanic, and everything else.

If you want to engage in hyperbole, expect some back.

Soybean filler and fish by-products. Topped with plasticene cheese-like sauce.

No curves, make Stantis take it like a man. D

Citizen Nothing|7.17.09 @ 12:05PM|

Definitely a chuckle.

Citizen Nothing|7.17.09 @ 12:07PM|

"Hanz Briks, you're busting my balls!"

smartass sob|7.17.09 @ 2:52PM|

Almost a chuckle. The light socket with the plugs piggybacked on it is too high tech. It would be funnier with a couple half-starved peasants pedaling a bicycle-driven generator.

Flint of wood.

The thorn
of a red rose
appears in the
light of
September, and
there, in the
care of the
darkness, a little
chamois discovers
a fate....

My only point is that if you take the Bible straight, as I'm sure many of Reasons readers do, you will see a lot of the Old Testament stuff as absolutely insane.

tour egypt|4.10.11 @ 7:44AM|

yes
For someone who works in the security field this is a pretty damn good one.
