Dog shark only like 12" long? Thought they're like 4 foot or something scarier. Guess they can't nibble on Mr. Green's toe then...happy joy, joy.
 






TRIGGER WARNING: during a discussion earlier today, someone posted this meme, I suppose in an effort to make light of the perpetual outrage and offense that per...meates our culture. But I think, instead, this heartless and callous individual only demonstrated the need for the PC police.
You might think it's fun to joke about this potato, but do you consider how this image might trigger someone, like myself, with Irish ancestry, because it reminds us of the potato famine? Also, the potato is brown and dirty and it grows in the ground, which could easily be construed as a statement that brown skinned people are dirty and live in caves. Meanwhile, people from Idaho are likely offended because this image appropriates their culture and makes a mockery of it.
It might be a big laugh to you, but remember that this potato is also a visual image, which is certain to make the visually impaired feel excluded. Not to mention that a potato is a spherical, three dimensional object. If you stopped to think for one second you might see how this could otherize those who struggle with depth perception and those who are geometrically challenged.
This says nothing of the trauma it will surely impose on the starch intolerant community. Obviously -- but I'm sure you all knew this -- potatoes are originally indigenous to the Andes mountain region, so this picture could quite easily cause emotional stress to the peoples of that area who feel they don't get enough credit for cultivating the potato for so many centuries before privileged white Americans stole it.
So, yeah, have your laugh, you bigots. But think about what kind of harm a provocative photo like this might do to all of these groups.
As you can clearly see, everything truly is offensive and everyone's feeling are hurt, so stop saying things, thinking things, or otherwise communicating thoughts of any kind to anyone. It's the only way to make sure everyone is safe.

Pootainte :rotfl. I'll have to remember that, for the next time he emerges from the topsoil.

I don't see him often. I've never had a problem with him I don't think, can't remember. I wasn't even thinking of him when I posted that.
 
I must've driven past that sign a hundred times but never noticed - maybe because our spelling is 'A-R-S-E' :lol
 
There's a strong case for Australia's bumhole being located at Parliament House. NSW had the good sense to put it in a territorial enclave :lol
