  1. Fist of Etiquette   11 years ago

    That French Foreign Legion dude is inside the quarantine zone without a level 3 biohazard suit.

    1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

      Don't worry, he'll properly regret that when the Starro spore finishes climbing his arm and attaches to his face.

      1. Heroic Mulatto   11 years ago

        The art in Justice League isn't that bad.

        Batman Beyond 2.0, maybe.

        1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

          I want to come up with a riposte, but I've lost my depth perception, and something keeps saying "Starro Lives" in the back of my mind. It's very distracting.

    2. John Galt   11 years ago

      Ebola isn't a communicable disease. Now go give him a kiss and hug.

      1. An Innocent Man   11 years ago

        Is that why they're not communicating anything about it?

        1. John Galt   11 years ago

          As long as they continue to not communicate anything to me I'm just fine with the complete absence of information, leadership and common sense.

  2. wadair   11 years ago

    Is Confusion also spread by bodily fluids?

  3. Almanian!   11 years ago

    I...I don't get it. Horrid. Wretched. Therefore, perfect.

    Happy fucking Friday, Reasonoids.

    *SLAP*

    1. WTF   11 years ago

      I have nothing to add, that's how terrible that cartoon is.
      *SLAP!*

    2. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

      *slap!*

      1. Swiss Servator, spare a franc?   11 years ago

        I THINK IT IS HILARIOUS!!!

        *slap*

  4. John Galt   11 years ago

    The fella with his Maoist hat and communist star jacket was a nice touch.

  5. Roger the Shrubber   11 years ago

    We need a term to describe these weekly assaults on our senses similar to the 'Balko nut punch', yet somehow implying their ineptitude. Paynless Nut-Punch?

    1. John Galt   11 years ago

      It was the 'Balko nut punches' that originally brought me here. And the Friday Funnies that keep me coming back.

      1. Roger the Shrubber   11 years ago

        Admit it. It's really the drug-fueled illegal-alien sodomy that brings you back.

        1. John Galt   11 years ago

          Crap, busted.

        2. WTF   11 years ago

          It's always the marijuana, Mexicans and ass-sex.

          1. Bardas Phocas   11 years ago

            I'm just here for the sodomy maam.

          2. Lord Humungus   11 years ago

            Latino women, Mary Jane, and back door action? Sounds like good pron.

            1. Slammer   11 years ago

              No on the Latino women, maaaan

              1. Slammer   11 years ago

                An enthusiastic yes for Latinas, though.

      2. Slammer   11 years ago

        Bryng the Payne

        1. gaijin   11 years ago

          Max Payne

    2. Roger the Shrubber   11 years ago

      Payne-in-your-ass

  6. Jerryskids   11 years ago

    I keep seeing the video of the cops wearing gloves and masks taping off the guy'ss house and then disposing of the gloves and masks in the street-corner sidewalk trash can. Is there a danger or not? Or does the typical NYPD officer simply think that bums who rummage through trash cans deserve to die from Ebola?

    1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

      Or does the typical NYPD officer simply think that bums who rummage through trash cans deserve to die from Ebola?

      Yes.

      Also, out of sight, out of mind. These aren't the brightst bulbs in a city full of dim bulbs.

    2. Roger the Shrubber   11 years ago

      As with all officer errors, omissions, assaults, or questionable firearm discharges - lack of training.

      1. WTF   11 years ago

        Biohazard materials were disposed of. People were infected. Procedures were followed. More training is needed.

    3. Suthenboy   11 years ago

      I am beginning to get the notion that the CDC personnel have a cargo cult mentality about infectious disease.

      Diversity though.

    4. Loki   11 years ago

      keep seeing the video of the cops wearing gloves and masks taping off the guy'ss house and then disposing of the gloves and masks in the street-corner sidewalk trash can.

      I haven't seen this video. I'm hoping you made that part up, but at the same time, this is the NYPD we're talking about.

  7. Lord Humungus   11 years ago

    *slowly mouths* ha ha ha
