Will You Riot?

[Seinatra]

If Michael Jackson is found guilty?

I might, if there are any good stores to loot.

[Max Whittaker]

I always thought it would be fun to riot. But not over Mr. Jackson.

The only time I would riot and loot would be under these combined considerations.

1. If the sun is fall into the moon

2. World economy has collapsed

3. Dogs and cats live together

4. The supervolcano in yellowstone National park blows

5. The Borg collective takes up orbit around the earth.

6. The sky rains blood

7. The Tellitubies get their own Theme Park

Because, you know, if any of that stuff happens, we're all pretty much dead, anyway.

[Mysty Eyes]

Why on earth would anyone want to riot? Over anything?

And... over Michael Jackson???? Oh, puh-leeze!

Why ask the question in the first place?

Perhaps I am over-sensitive about this, but I do live in the Los Angeles area, and we have had our fair share of rioting in my lifetime. I even remember the Watts riots (I was a kid then).

It is not a matter for jokes.

[Brent88]

I'll be mad if he's found NOT guilty. What a weirdo.

But riot over it? No...

[theshark8777]

I agree Brent.

[Hollow]

what would be the point? none of us know whether he did it.

[Pus$y Galore]

Yeah - this is hardly the Rodney King trial here!

I have to agree with you!

[*MIBabe03*]

No. MJ sucks.

[MsOrange]

I don't care either way... just hope his ugly ass gets locked up

[TheHappyBurgerMeister]

Yeah - this is hardly the Rodney King trial here!

:lol: Oh man. That picture is hilarious! Those boys look like they have NO idea what's going on or what the sign means, but the soldier sure looks like he's enjoying it!


No, I'm not going to riot either way over Michael Jackson's verdict.

[Stuck In The '70's]

Life goes on. If he's found innocent I'm sure he'll wind up in jail again. He can't stop himself.

[Pus$y Galore]

:lol: I know eh!! LOL! - Probably told the kids that it means how much they love America and thank you! :lol: Good to see they're keeping their spirits up over there. ;)

It's photoshopped.

And I might cry a little, but rioting is a little extreme. But if I lived in CA, I would go and stand outside the courthouse like all the other people.

What makes you say that? The shadows are bang on the way they should be. Doesn't look suspect to me.

(even if it is, its still funny).

there was a site that had a script that let you put your own text on the sign in that picture, there are millions of versions of that picture out there :)

[ABlairican Pie]

I'll riot if either Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden don't happen to show up at this summer's Ozzfest here in Auburn.

Kidding. :D

Oh really?

I got it on an email a couple of years ago.

So you could "write" anything and it would look as though it was done in marker right on the cardboard? They can actually match the cardboard and everything? Amazing!

The letters are typed, not written.

[Karen*]

Hell no I wouldn't riot. I'll be a lil sad if he's found guilty because I'm a fan of his music, but I honestly don't care if he goes to jail.

[rusyd]

You're a nut Seinatra! I will not be surprised if he is found not guilty, but I am too busy at work to riot at this time. :)

[Pus$y Galore]

The letters are typed, not written.
What are you talking about - the note on that sign is hand written in black marker - there's no font on earth like that.

[robyrob]

the site is no longer active (too much bandwidth apparently...) but it WAS at http://www.in4mador.com/links/1813

SNOPES does have an article on it, and gives the complete story behind the sign here: http://www.snopes.com/photos/military/boudreaux.asp

oh, and there ARE fonts like that one, I have no idea what it is called though because robyn is the artist in our family, not me.

That must be some software then - you'd swear that is hand written.

You're sure that maybe that wasn't the original pic and then its been redone on that website since then? Otherwise, it means they were holding up a blank piece of cardboard - or do you know what the original sign said?

I know I sound anal about this, but I've used a lot of different media software packages before but I've never seen anything this authentic. Usually you can pick out the photoshopped pics pretty easily (like the guy with the "giant" cat - the shadows were off).

here is the original pic (from Snopes):
http://www.snopes.com/photos/small/boudreaux1_small.jpg

the caption reads: "Lcpl Boudreaux killed my dad th(en) he knocked up my sister!"

the site that I originally posted had a script that you could enter your own caption, and it would create a pic with that text on the sign, just like in the original pic that was posted.

i know that it wasn't a manually-edited or "photoshopped" image because I went to the site while it was still active and created my own version of the pic - read the Snopes article for the whole story :)

[robyrob]

from Snopes:

Several different versions of this picture — each with the sign altered to reflect some other humorous message (e.g., "My country got invaded and all I got was this lousy sign") — were circulated on the Internet, and that phenomenon increased tremendously after the creation of site that allowed visitors to customize the Boudreaux photograph by putting their own words onto the sign. (That site, www.ryano.net/iraq/, is no longer operational, now imparting the message "gone forever. deal with it.") Other versions of the picture displayed more positive messages (e.g., "Lcpl Boudreaux saved my dad th(en) rescued my sister!"):

i think mine just said "EEYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!" (in reference to the "thumbs-up")

[AllIWantIsYourClutch]

Yes, yes there are. There's plenty of handwritten fonts (http://www.dafont.com/en/theme.php?cat=603). And plus, look at the letters...the Ss, Ts, Ls, As....all of the letters look the same.

[Pus$y Galore]

I'll be darned - they are the same!! Boy - I've really got to get out more! :lol:

Actually, that supposed "original" they show in snopes looks more real - faded and the handwriting is more of a guy's (the MJ one was pretty neatly done).

Ya learn something new everyday! I'm not going to believe anything I see anymore! :p

[Hollow]

reminds me of this k3wl picture i made to spite everyone who thought that "free cat" one brent posted was "evil" and "morbid".

:lol:

[theshark8777]

Also someone said they have never seen a font like that, there are actual programs that will let you make fonts out of your own writing. I guess by scanning it...I saw it on the old TechTV years ago...

[Seinatra]

Well, I guess the rioting is off.

[Pus$y Galore]

Not necessarily - he's received death threats. Could be the other side this time.

[MsOrange]
