Lightbulb The Republican Party should change its emblem from an elephant to a condom.

Condom more clearly reflects the party's stance today, because a condom accepts inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually getting screwed.

That makes clear a joke that I knew went flying over my head on Futurama.

Default Vote George WW3

"With numbing regularity good people were seen to knuckle under the demands of authority and perform actions that were callous and severe. Men who are in everyday life responsible and decent were seduced by the trappings of authority, by the control of their perceptions, and by the uncritical acceptance of the experimenter's definition of the situation, into performing harsh acts. A substantial proportion of people do what they are told to do, irrespective of the content of the act and without limitations of conscience, so long as they perceive that the command comes from a legitimate authority" Stanley Milgram, 1965

Milgram was a psychologist who performed a series of experiments that proved conclusively that obedience to authority was so ingrained in the average US citizen they were prepared to cause lethal harm to others when instructed by authority figures to do so.

All those who took part were first asked if they would be capable of killing or inflicting severe pain on their fellow human beings. 100% replied categorically 'no'.

Exclamation

While I'm no fan of the Republican party, I fail to see what this thread is going to accomplish other than to insult people who might be sympathetic to its platform. This thread is being sent ~Elsewhere~.

It was season one of Futurama, the episode where Fry goes to Mars University in order to become a college drop out. There's a flashback about his previous stint in college during the 20th century. He went to Coney Island University, which is a ride at Coney Island (in his flashback, at least). At one point he says, "Go WhiteFish!" I had no idea he was referring to discarded floating condoms until reading this thread. Those sneaky writers.
