It's Idiocracy, but only the worse parts, with some Don't Look Up and Bladerunner mixed in. The Road stuff, coming up.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Right. President Camacho was a good man and doesn't deserve to be compared to trump.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I dunno, Terry Crews is human like any of us. But he and Dwayne Elizando Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho seem pretty based and generally wholesome. No one should have that sort of power. But it would be easy to do much worse.

Scarry thing is, we may not currently have a brawndo based economy. But much of it is currently composed of an AI circle jerk so intelligent. It's been telling people to eat rocks and glue. It's very on brand.

The point is even Herbert Camacho Mountain Dew brought the smartest man in the country to give him advice, and he listened to it.

Could you imagine Trump really doing that?

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

Trump thinks he is the smartest man in the country, and only listens to himself...

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

All the worst parts of Blade Runner.

I wanted to giant buildings, flying cars, and sex robots. Not the Torment Nexus!

Wait, did I fall for thinking that was a joke? Shit was I not the Onioned?

I said this before, but I think they told him it was the Nobel Peace Prize:

In awarding the prize, Infantino told Trump it was a “beautiful medal for you that you can wear everywhere you want to go.” Trump promptly placed the medal around his neck. The certificate that Infantino handed Trump recognizes the U.S. president for his actions to “promote peace and unity around the world.”

Infantino also presented Trump with a gold trophy with his name on it that depicts hands holding up the world. “You definitely deserve the first FIFA Peace Prize for your action, for what you have obtained in your way,” said Infantino, who spoke after a video was played that showed images of Trump meeting with world leaders from countries whose conflicts he has taken credit for resolving.

FIFA gives Trump a peace prize in a departure from its traditional focus on sport

The trophy is ironically hands grabbing the ball, the very thing you aren't supposed to do in soccer.

Unless all the players are goalies

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

The original design, with the hands grabbing pussy, was rejected.

The one indicted by the FBI, yes.

Or was in a minute.

@pelespirit@sh.itjust.works @NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org

The depths of the mans stupidity are unfathomable. I have no problem believing it to be sure. But this is par for the course of this timeline. Parody is on life support.

Ow ow ow. Fuck.

He learned not to make Charlemagne's mistake.

[–] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, did that really happen? Did I throw up an onion?

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The NFL should give him a fake prize too and just see what he says then

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 7 points 2 weeks ago

He has already demanded they name a stadium after him.

Trump always agrees with, or favors, the last person he spoke to.

Oh my god is this a real image or altered?

[–] optissima@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's altered, but it truly highlights whats in his heart

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah but why did they alter his hands bigger

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago
[–] Babalugats@feddit.uk 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

He kept the world club cup (and was seemingly allowed to)

He kept a world club cup winners medal

FIFA agreed to allow him to move fixtures to where he deems fit

And the special peace prize, for a very, very special man.

All would have made him a very wealthy man alone. Not including the Princes and Sheiks that would have vested interests in trying to fix the matches and the ticket prices.

He would tell them they could call it cum-in-my-mouth-and-listen-to-me-gargle-it ball if he wanted.

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

His best friend Putin got a super bowl ring, if he doesn't get the equivalent for soccer, every time they meet he's going to lose face

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Just rename.NFL football to "Soccer", they aren't using that.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

Queen Charlie III should give him a Burgerking crown and ask him to join the commonwealth and recognise the Monarchy back as head of state

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

Man, what would you do if you had dementia and someone laughed at you on the web?

...fakin spiders! Kill them all ...on the web and off the web! Hit them with a broom!

Broom! Broom!

Get them off! Get them off me!

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Dementia Don forgot we called it soccer again, nurse!

Are the people in the background some sort of superhero (or villain?) group?

[–] Trex202@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It's from Idiocracy

More and more relevant every day

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, I didn't realize it was mixed media. Thank you.

[–] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

He never meant

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I mean, why would you name a bullshit, made-up, boring, fake pussy rugby (as real rugby is an actual proper sport) the same way as an already existing sport called football? It's just lazy and lacking any form of creativity, which actually is a correct description of American football. Just call it boringball or stupidball or something. Either you're stupid for watching it or you're stupid for getting brain injury playing it.

But yeah, this is how crooked, corrupt and easy to be manipulated your president is.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It was actually based on associated football when the collegiate league was first started. It then morphed to a version with rules similar to rugby (with the oblong ball and the ability to carry the ball) (Googled this, neat!). While I agree it's a bit overhyped here in the states, it certainly isn't lazy or lacking creativity. It's a sport like any other.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

They should definitely change it to the way it's depicted in Starship Troopers, it might gain broader appeal then.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Not boring? How many minutes of a match does there actually happen something? And how many minutes is filled with waiting and positioning? It's soooooo boring. Even if a football match (soccer) is boring because nothing interesting is happening, it's still more interesting than American football. And I hate football (soccer).

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Just call it boringball or stupidball or something.

It already has a name. Gridiron (or gridiron football, but given there's no ball and the thing they use instead of a ball contacts hands much more often than feet, it's better to omit the later altogether, to avoid sounding silly).
