POLL: Are you offended by this image? WARNING:NSFW (or so some fucking pussy told me!)

[pkbites]

Are you offended by THIS image?

Overall, in general, are you offended by it?

If not overall, in general, would there be times/places you would be?

Would you be offended by it on a bumper sticker or mud flap on a car?

How about as a tattoo on someones arm?

As the wallpaper on someones personal computer?
_________________________________________________________________

How about if your Lil'Christ Child was around? You know....the one you didn't abort?
If someone with such a tattoo was present would you shield your childs eyes from it? Would you leave someones house if they had it on their computer wallpaper? Would you scream at them that they were threatening your children at the next traffic light if it was on their mudflaps or bumper sticker?













Are you offended by that image?

[Little Nemo]

It would help if I knew what you were ranting about.

[elucidator]

"Meth. Not even once."

[Lanzy]

Are you pitting this image?

[SeaDragonTattoo]

I'd really like to hear the backstory on this one. I don't get it.

[raventhief]

what...the...hell..are you on about?

[3:20:59 or bust]

The fuck are you talking about?

Does the image of Yosemite Sam shooting some handguns in the air offend you?

On a tattoo?
On mudflaps?
On computer wallpaper?

Does it offend you?

And, does it offend you if your children are around to see it?

What is so confusing about these questions?

[levdrakon]

The person who said it was offensive was probably just trying to talk you out of whatever you were planning on doing with it.

[Terr]

I have a feeling pkbytes ran into some extreme anti-gun type somewhere.

[SeaDragonTattoo]

To answer the question, no, it's not offensive to me. But I still want to know why this even came up. Sounds like it could be an interesting story.

[elucidator]

Five out every seven Americans suffer from poor impulse control, and three of them are armed Texans. Won't you please help......

[Yorikke]

Someone saw your violent Yosemite Sam desktop wallpaper and spiked your drink to get even with you for offending them?

[Voyager]

It's a joke son, it's a joke, I say it's a joke.
</Foghorn Leghorn>

[Little Nemo]

Okay, maybe it was expecting too much to just ask for a coherent explanation.

Let's start out simple then.

Who is the "fucking pussy" who told you that picture of Yosemite Sam was offensive and/or NSFW?

Was it somebody on this board?

Can you provide a link to what they said?

Were they upset with that specific image or was it any picture of Yosemite Sam or any cartoon character or any person with a gun?

Have you taken any controlled substances in the last forty-eight hours?

Hey hey hey! You have to label it NSFW if you're going to reference 2nd tier Looney Tunes characters.

[zoid]

What the fuck was the abortion comment about and how does it pertain to a question about cartoon characters?

Seriously pkb, a whole lot less crazy in the OP would be helpful in getting your point across.

[Guinastasia]

Oooooh, I hates that fucking pussy!

[Crazyhorse]

That thar pussy what told him that ain't nothing but a mangy polecat. Why Ioughtta blast him to smitheroonees.

[Little Nemo]

Crazyhorse Johnson's right!

[Senegoid]

You're ALL completely missing it! Whoosh!

What exactly is that large orange-ish halo above his eyebrows and ears? Is that supposed to be his head? Or is it some kind of cowboy hat? Notice also that a piece of it is visible behind his back, just below his armpit. (ETA: Here's the picture link again for your reviewing convenience.)

SPOILER:

His head is drawn to look like the head of a penis!

THAT's why it's NSFW! (Somebody tell pkbites: This is the kind of thing a fucking pussy would know.)

[John Mace]

Is this some weird Dr. Seuss spoof?

[Eliahna]

I'm not offended in the rain
I'm not offended on a train
I'm not offended if it's a tattoo
You zealous offenderati, you
I'm not offended by this man
I'm not offended, Yosemite Sam.

...and I'm a crazy anti-gun nut.

[njtt]

Obama's re-election has clearly driven pkbites over the edge of sanity. First of all there were his paranoid threads on "Obamacare" in GQ - see especially the first, locked, one, but the second, somewhat cleaned up version was still crazy - and now this!

Thank-you. My creative juices just weren't sufficiently warmed up yet.

No kidding! I'd be offended at that too... (or not).

Was said "pussy" offended at what desecration of Mel Blanc's memory you were carrying out via said image? Or maybe he/she doesn't like you and thought that was a good excuse instead.

[jz78817]

What in the rackin' frackin' Sam Hill are you talkin' about?

[Monty]

I'm not offended by the image in the link. It's Post #1 in this thread that offends me. The mere fact that such an inane ramble is #1 is offensive.

[Crotalus]

If I counted the questions in the OP correctly, my answers are no no no no no no no no no no. Sorry if I missed one. And the OP really owes us a story.

[Springtime for Spacers]

I find that image obnoxious and ugly but that's an aesthetic judgement. I have no idea who Yosemite Sam is.

What?

I haven't aborted any children, so I guess I'll consider the two children I have. Anyway, no.

If someone with such a tattoo was present would you shield your childs eyes from it?

No.

No.

Would you scream at them that they were threatening your children at the next traffic light if it was on their mudflaps or bumper sticker?

No.

Are you offended by that image?

Still no.

Glad I could clear that all up for you. Let me know if you need anything else from me.

[CalMeacham]

Of COURSE I'm offended!


It's always bothered me that Yosemite Sam doesn't have a head. He doesn't even have a complete face. He's got a mouth, a nose, eyes, ears and a LOT of hair --Mustache, huge eyebrows. We know from the one where Bugs poured red ink on him to convince him he'd been shot that he's got hair in the back, too. But you couldn't provce it to me that he actually has a head. That ain't natural, even for a cartoon.

I know that Friz Freleng wanted to give Bugs a different foil besides Elmer Fudd, but he went too far with his Headless Texan.


The guns and the temper are OK, though. I'm not one of your mindless Freleng-haters.

[Jeep's Phoenix]

Lil'Christ Child sounds like a cuddly toy!

[kayaker]

pkbites, if you are ever around western PA we should hoist a few. You're getting stuck with the tab, though.

Comes free in a box of Redemption Cheerios breakfast cereal...

[Beware of Doug]

I can be offended by anything if I think about it. I guess ole Sam pisses me off because individuals with loud voices and/or mustaches plus a fixation with deadly force piss me off. If he weren't funny he'd actually be dangerous.

[Death of Rats]

I am not offended by the image, but anyone who has it as a tattoo or has mudflaps on a vehicle with less than 10 wheels should have been aborted.

[BubbaDog]

Let's just go ahead and say that pretty much everybody isn't offended by it.

Now will you explain why you posted your little survey?


Or are you going to follow with some other survey like maybe -

- Do ducks make you uncomfortable?

- Have you ever been worried that the earth will run out of oxygen?

- Are you offended when french fries are served with hamburgers?

[Vinyl Turnip]

I'm going to make a WAG, which like all WAGs may turn out to be quite wrong. But here goes.

pkbites, a man who is not exactly famous for his even-tempered nature, is upset about the results of the recent election—something most of us know as "an event that happens every four years, in which there is a winning party and a losing party," but which pkbites knows as "an ontological battle for the very future of this nation, the last stand of good against evil, as we stood at the precipice looking down into a fiery pit of socialism from which we shall never return," because that's what Fox News and Rush and the rest of the Onepercentosphere have been telling him it is (using much smaller words) for a few dozen months now.

Reeling from the news that the American sheeple opted to submit their necks and wrists to the yoke of Obamacare and the Prophet Norris's Thousand Years of Darkness, pkbites decided to vent his displeasure by displaying a cartoon of Yosemite Sam at his workplace with a caption reading "RACKIN' FRACKIN' LIBERALS!" or "I'M COMIN' FER YOU, OBAMA!" or "TIME FER A 2ND AMENDMENT SOLUTION, YEE-HAW!" which— combined with his excited demeanor and constant ranting about the End of America and his plans to declare himself the Sovereign Emperor of pkbitesland, a small independent nation which spends 100% of its GDP on stockpiled arms— probably made someone at work nervous, and led to him being dressed down in some relatively minor way.

[Ravenman]

If I remember correctly, pkbites is a cop. And he appears to have become totally unglued, unhinged, driven over the edge, and lost his grip over a fucking election.

Get a grip, pkbites.

[Muffin]

pkbites, you're a nutter, you do realise.

[Slithy Tove]

Great horny toads! (NSFW)

[Really Not All That Bright]

I'm not offended by the image, and if I was it would totally be worth it because this is an awesome meltdown. I think.

ROWSDOWER!

[Elmer J. Fudd]

I'm offended. I can't believe someone on this board would use a trademarked character without the express permission of Warner Bros.

[control-z]

I'm afraid of the guns, they glamorize violence and might hurt me. Also that character's bad language offends me.

[Chef Troy]

Maybe by "NSFW" they meant "Now Shootin' Fuzzy Wabbits."

(Yes, I know Sam called 'em "varmints," but whatever.)

[Revtim]

I'm offended because when I was very young lad reading comics, I thought his name was pronounced Yo-sah-mite. Not sure why I didn't notice the correct pronunciation on the cartoons I know I watched.

[mischievous]

pkbites, a man who is not exactly famous for his even-tempered nature... decided to vent his displeasure by displaying a cartoon of Yosemite Sam at his workplace with a caption reading ... "TIME FER A 2ND AMENDMENT SOLUTION, YEE-HAW!" which— combined with his excited demeanor... probably made someone at work nervous, and led to him being dressed down in some relatively minor way.

This is a remarkably plausible scenario.
