"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.

Oh there was that too. Then I took in the art and the artist in me kind of giggled at how it reminded me of the Old Testament stories. *mind in the gutter for sure* XD

What can I say. I'm a pervert. I admit it. I wasn't laughing about people in africa at all, but at our own history.

And what came last? The feminist in me cringing a bit at how the man is seated lording it over a harem of women. And how he should not sleep around and make sure his "women" didn't either. And how it was sad people need to be told to be faithful to each other. And yes, I've been watching too much of G4's "Cheaters" to the point I'm depressed that even people here sometimes seem to miss that obvious memo.

I had many many reactions to do with that pamphlet, most if which had absolutely nothing to do with aids or real life in Africa (since I know very little about that).
