I hate any commercial or scene with two people of different race and one is portrayed as being superior to the other. ---

> [@Miller](#): > > Hey, dickhead. If you don’t like the Pit, you are more than welcome to fuck off to another forum - or even better, an entirely different website altogether. I doubt there’s a single poster on this board who would miss your execrable brand of smug idiocy, your constitutional inability to recognize simple humor, or your constant attempts to troll people by trying to dictate what’s an “acceptable” way to discuss something you saw on TV. You are, in general, one of the dimmest, dullest, dampest posters we’ve ever had the misfortune to grace our electrons here, and I, personally, cannot wait for the day I never have to see another one of your moist little nuggets of what tragically passes as thought in your tiny - and largely solid - skull, you insipid, mouth-breathing shitbag. Subscribed. ---

> [@lance\_strongarm](#): > > Nice rationalization for not giving, relieving your guilt. 😉 Snort. I thought everyone knew that giving to the HSUS didn’t translate into helping abused animals. And any charity that is just providing bandaid solutions and not addressing the actual problem isn’t fixing anything. > [@Kimstu](#): > > Moreover, **curlcoat** could not be more wrong in suggesting that it “doesn’t make any sense to try to get money out of folks at a time of year when they are going to be the busiest and most cash strapped”. In fact, the year-end holiday season is precisely when charities _do_ get the most money out of folks. As the nonprofit-evaluator [Charity Navigator](http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=content.view&cpid=2029#.VlZILtZzSgw) explains, Huh. That’s kind of amazing. I did figure that since all of these ads were being paid for and run at this time, they must work, but I thought that it had to be - I dunno? - rich people who could afford to send anything in. ---

Nobody ever gets warned for “fuck off”. At most, they get a post reminding them they shouldn’t use it. **Miller** , being the paragon of virtue that he is, has no doubt already reminded himself of this. Why don’t you take your rules-gaming to some other board? There’s got to be one somewhere that enjoys reading bleating idiocy. ---

I’ll mod note “fuck off and die,” but outside of my first few months as a mod, when I was still getting a feel for enforcing the rules, I’ve never noted anyone for “fuck off.” Pretty sure this isn’t news to **DrDeth** , but it’s a coin flip whether he legitimately forgot because of his formidable mental difficulties, or he’s pretending because he’s habitually a dishonest prick. ---

LOL, u mad bro? My goodness, the world is SO unfair! What is a whiny little shitbird arselicking pecksniffian to do? I’d suggest inserting your head even further up your own ass until you can yodel up your duodenum. Then belt out 27 repetitions of “Bohemian Rhapsody” in four part harmony with yourself. On the day you manage this, you will finally have become at least marginally interesting. Now kindly do fuck off, there’s a good little shitbird. ---

Just saw it once and it’s already my most hated. The one where poor old widowed dad realizes none of his family is going to make it to the holiday dinner he has prepared because of a huge blizzard. He puts all the dishes and silver ware away and _surprise_ they all burst through the door! They could all get through the snow because they all bought the same lame ass SUV. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way” my ass you selfish dick! How would dear old dad feel if you all died because you didn’t have sense enough to stay put in a blizzard! ---

Why the fuck is nobody talking about awful commercials anymore. Stop fighting, you shitheads, and direct some anger where it’s deserved, like ads about black friday starting thursday at 5 (well, then how the fuck is it black FRIDAY, you cunt flapping goat testes?) or worse yet how it’s “black friday week”… ed:sorry River Hippie, your post wasn’t there yet when I loaded the thread ---

I want to like Craig Robinson, and generally I find him sweet and harmless. Except right about now after his keyboard-playing KMart character has crooned for the 27th time this hour. ---

It’s possible, you are reportedly pretty laid back as a a moderator goes, but remember, I hardly ever post in this shithole. But the rules do say “fuck you and variants” so yes- _maybe_ you _might_ not warn anyone for that. However you know damn well _you_ are not going to get a warning for it. It’s the act of a moral coward, hiding behind your status. ---
