"Worth Mocking!" "Is not!" "Is too!"
I know, I know, wank from [info]mock_the_stupid is like shooting ducks in a barrel of honey, but still-

A post is made, mocking a Ugandan AIDS education pamphlet for including what would seem to us to be really obvious information but apparently...isn't to them.

Many commentors think the poster has gone to the wrong place, and aren't really seeing anything worth pointing and LOLing at, considering the actual AIDS education situation in Uganda.

Mod Opalcat, however, isn't at all happy with the people criticizing her decision that it's mockworthy, and after arguing with a handful of commentors in aforelinked threads, posts a comments-locked modpost:

10:32 pm - MTS is not PC. And it isn't going to be.

If you can't live with that, please don't let the door hit ya.

The overkill PC whinging is really fucking tiring. We get it already. Get over it or leave. Honestly.


This brings more comments to the original post, mostly by people venting what they couldn't say in the modpost.

Of course, there are also others who think the mock is perfectly hilarious and are quick to call those who don't oversensitive PC pussies defend the post's merits.

Relatively small, but considering the modpost, I thought it had progressed beyond the clairvoyant stage.

People put chocolate or strawberry syrup in milk all the time. Sweetening milk is really that foreign a concept to her? I mean, sure, I may not have heard of it before myself, but if I did I wouldn't find it all that strange.

I mean what does she think cereal is exactly? Sugared bits in milk (not all cereal but a good number). Hello Sugar Flakes? Once you eat the flakes, what do you think is left? :P

Someone was denied the wonders of a "balanced" breakfast cereal as a kid, weren't they.

Also, my grandmother would always chop up strawberries, put them in milk, sugar it and give us that as a treat. We loved it. :9

I know! It's the most mind-bogglingly persistant case of willful non-comprehension I can remember coming across. I didn't even notice anything unusual at all when I read the sugar and milk bit, I'm so used to having them together.
