    Venezuelans don't know how to correctly cook Chinese food? Seems doubly racist.

    1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

      It's not that they don't know how, it's that they don't have the rest of the ingredients.

    2. PapayaSF   10 years ago

      *SNORT*

  2. Will4Freedom   10 years ago

    I'm trying to understand the message.

    The dude with the cat... and I'm giving Bok a lot of artistic freedom here in calling that "thing" a cat... does not have a knife, only a fork. Is he going to fork the cat to death? Eat it raw?

    RREOW? Is that how cats purr in Spanish?

    1. WTF   10 years ago

      Que?

    2. Libertarian   10 years ago

      No, they don't fork cats to death in Venezuela. However, they do fork goats to death in Turkey.

      1. bacon-magic   10 years ago

        forkfuck /ftfy

        1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

          fork you.

  3. WTF   10 years ago

    NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ

    Happy Friday, everyone, may you be allowed to shower and shit in comfort with the gendersex of your choosing.

    *SLAP!*

    1. straffinrun   10 years ago

      *slap*

      1. Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper   10 years ago

        *SRAP!!!*

        /lacist Asian accent

  4. Cyto   10 years ago

    You snarky idiots have it all wrong. Bernie's supporters know full well the situation in Venezuela... but Venezuela isn't an example of real socialism. Real socialism totally works, we just haven't tried it yet. They came close in rich northern European countries - they just haven't gone far enough. Bernie's followers will get us there though.

    1. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

      When you think about it, a free market US is the last impediment to it all working. So, when that's finally given up the ghost... PROFIT! No, wait, that's not right. But mission accomplished!

    2. neoteny   10 years ago

      but Venezuela isn't an example of real socialism

      Sure it is: that's why it is being attacked by kulaks, wreckers, hoarders and assorted imperialists.

      1. Swiss Servator   10 years ago

        And splitters....don't forget the splitters!

    3. PapayaSF   10 years ago

      I like pointing out that their examples of "successful socialism" are always really, really white countries. "So, is socialism something that only Aryans can do well...?"

  5. Groovus Maximus   10 years ago

    If they use the pelt of that feline for toilet paper, it can be washed after each use. It's a very sensibly Green, sustainable, and responsible solution.

    Until the PETA freaks show up....

    1. cavalier973   10 years ago

      They should use the skin aborted babies.

      1. cavalier973   10 years ago

        *of aborted babies

      2. WTF   10 years ago

        Don't be ridiculous, that's what you use for pizza toppings.

    2. PapayaSF   10 years ago

      You are assuming they have soap and water for washing....

  6. Will4Freedom   10 years ago

    Only light skinned Venezuelans have cats? RACIST!!! Income Inequality!

    1. cavalier973   10 years ago

      Heh, heh...

    2. Will4Freedom   10 years ago

      On a more serious note, I did an image search on Venezuela Food Shortage. This is some bad crap going on down there. You think it could never happen here, but if Bernie or HRC get elected, I think I'll take up gardening.

      1. Cynical Asshole   10 years ago

        if Bernie or HRC get elected, I think I'll take up gardening.

        Already have. Might I also suggest you get an arsenal and start hoarding ammo, if you haven't already. You'll need to defend your garden from the dipshits who never bothered to learn how to feed themselves once the shit hits the fan. *adjusts tinfoil hat*

  7. Swiss Servator   10 years ago

    This Bok fellow....not particularly good with, um, drawing is he?

    1. straffinrun   10 years ago

      I dunno, but that placenta looks realistic.

      1. Groovus Maximus   10 years ago

        It's a uterus, idiot.

  8. bacon-magic   10 years ago

    A bunch of pinkos...they all have shoes & clothing so it must be paradise down there. I encourage all the socialists to flock to this utopia.

    1. All-Seeing Monocle   10 years ago

      I like this suggestion. We really need some Venezuela recruiting posters. Socialist citizens of the world, Venezuela awaits!"

  9. Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper   10 years ago

    Better late than never. Or maybe not. Regardless....

    I don't get it.

    Horrible, awful, therefore, perfect.

    Happy fucking Friday, Reasonoids. May you be shipped to Venezuala to live out the rest of your miserable life, being forced to slaughter cats for your sustenance, and be knifed to death in a struggle for the last cat in Caracas.

    Also - fried chicken

    1. Groovus Maximus   10 years ago

      SLAP!

  10. PapayaSF   10 years ago

    Hey, Bernie is on record as saying that food lines are more fair than our system.

    Which reminds me. The other day I was near the SF farmer's market, and sitting on the sidewalk nearby were 5-6 old Asian ladies, each with their own blanket spread out, selling a variety of packaged foods. Individual cans and small bags of various things. It looked like what gets handed out at a food pantry. I think they were trying to turn charity into cash.

    This application is really good and very easy to use because you can never get an app which streams way of the latest and even the oldest videos. showbox
