I am noticing a theme here. Have you considered downloading more We Live in Hell and Also Here's a Mindless Distraction From It To Stay Sane apps?

Like if I am being very, VERY generous I can see the point that is being attempted here but this phrasing, it is Not Good. I do not understand why everything on Al Gore's Internet automatically proceeds from "thing happened" directly to "Thing will ALWAYS happen" without any stops along the way

Like. The challengers brought their own cheering section to disrupt the concentration of the Iron Chefs, and they would audibly applaud/jeer the judges after tasting. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. Try *that* on Iron Chef America.

I remember seeing this poster in London in 2002 and thinking "Boy, that's a little on the nose". How far we have come in the field of "Terrifying dystopia posters" in the last 23 years

Hoo boy. (This was the one about the deportations of people with no criminal record; the interlocutor here asked rhetorically "do you want 238 illegal immigrants with ties to crime running around"? At which point the ball was grabbed, run with, and detonated)
