Wait - Alt text on a Friday "Funny"?

  I want alt text on alt text
  1. UnCivilServant 11 years ago
    
    That wouldn't work, you can't mouseover the alt-text to display it.

        I'm sitting at work, having finally cleaned what was left of my breakfast off of my shirt, and running on next to no sleep. I'm lucky I'm not hurling mean-spirited barbs.

        You work for the government. By definition you're not allowed to be nice during work hours. 😉

      Awful, and therefore perfect.

        I am not even going to fill in for sage, this one is so uninspiring.
2. Swiss Servator 11 years ago
  
  UCS, this one was so bad, they had to throw a life ring of alt-text to it.

Is Neil Flynn holding the new iPhone 6 Plus? I don't think he's using those bluetooth earpieces right.

  There is freedom within,
  There is freedom without....

  It's a throat mic, to cancel out background noise.

Outside of tree bark, nuts, and honey what edible items are not gmo?
1. UnCivilServant 11 years ago
  
  bugs. We haven't actively engineered most bugs.
  1. AlmightyJB 11 years ago
    
    True.
    1. AlmightyJB 11 years ago
      
      I guess a lot of reptiles would be ok too. Most everything in the grocery store is though.
      1. Jimbo 11 years ago
        
        Mr Lizard: what do YOU think?
2. Ted S. 11 years ago
  
  Ice.

    Fluoridation.
3. Agammamon 11 years ago
  
  Most (all) of your nuts are genetically engineered also.

Today is a perfect example of how the comic exists to facilitate the comments.
1. UnCivilServant 11 years ago
  
  I thought the whole purpose of reason online was to facilitate the comments, which, in turn, are the real draw for people to visit the site and generate either ad revenue or nag revenue during the begathon.
  1. Swiss Servator 11 years ago
    
    At least I stopped getting ads for Clamato in Spanish, and the "Date a [Russian/Asian Lady/STEVE SMITH]" ones.
    1. Bobarian (Would Chip Her) 11 years ago
      
      Once you click the "Date a STEVE SMITH" one, all the ads go away, out of respect.
      1. UnCivilServant 11 years ago
        
        I was wondering how Swiss' date with the Russian STEVE SMITH went.

        PAINFULLY...thanks for asking.

      Clamato in Spanish
      
      Sounds like an STD
      1. UnCivilServant 11 years ago
        
        It's often asymptomatic in men, especially white men, having the most pronounced symptoms on latinas.
        
        gaijin 11 years ago
        
        I wonder if wise latinas as easily afflicted as their unwise hermanas.

      I get ads to donate to HRC
  2. Austrian Anarchy 11 years ago
    
    Yes, Balko's greatest gift to mankind.
GILMORE? 11 years ago

I don't get it.
1. UnCivilServant 11 years ago
  
  If you don't get it, then it must be ART!, right? That's how that scam works, isn't it?
2. macsnafu 11 years ago
  
  You're on the internet - look it up. Basically, the FDA just said they don't have to label genetically modified salmon as genetically modified. So when you go to the store to buy salmon, the consumer won't know if it's genetically-modified or not. Unless they voluntarily label it.
  1. UnCivilServant 11 years ago
    
    Good.
    1. macsnafu 11 years ago
      
      It works for me, but I'm sure a lot of people are upset about it.
  2. Not okay 11 years ago
    
    I'm sure there's plenty of companies who are willing to label their Salmon "GMO Free" and charge you out the ass so you don't need to worry.
  3. Agammamon 11 years ago
    
    Uh no. The 'joke' is that *aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall* of your food has been genetically modified.
    
    Some 'naturally' through random mutation and selective breeding. Ignoring the fact that the 'random mutation' is *forced* through deliberate radiation or chemical exposure in a 'let's see what happens for SCIENCE!' manner.
    
    The *other* stuff is genetically modified through the 'Frankensteinian' method of actually finding the specific trait you want and splicing the genes in to code for it - and only it. Yet somehow the latter method is far more scary to people than the former where you get a whole bunch of cruft mutations along with the desirable one.
    
    That's the zinger with is it a 'naturally modifed' Frankenfish or a 'genetically modified' Frankenfish.

This cartoon is so fucking horrible I can't even fap to it.
