Prob gonna regret this but can somebody explain the doughnuts thing...? If it's getting green thumbs then others get it and I feel silly

Had to make a seperate thread for this, I've already done enough damage in the funny images thread.
I was in the 7 month long Melbourne lockdown, the dictator would go on TV everyday talking about how he would get everyone tested and every person wouldn't have the virus, he'd talk about donuts and how you're not allowed to go anywhere until he gets a donut, and the kids can't go to the park until he gets a donut. The result was that if anyone got tested I would never speak to them again.
And now we can delete this thread.

Maybe, but we could we first also record that that if remery was currently with us he would be able to point out that while a red carpet for Putin in Alaska is 'the enduring feature of everything that a Trump presidency is', that Andrews attending a Chinese military parade with Putin, Xi and Kim Jong Un for the primary purpose of enriching himself is perhaps the 'enduring legacy of what the Andrew's government stood for'

Not being pedantic, just that I am sure it is what remery would be triggered about if he was still with us.


Then again much like Abbott in front of a ditch the witch sign, or Ed Husic in front of an Ayatollah photo on Sydney Harbour Bridge, perhaps if Putin, Xi and Jong-Un had realised Dan Andrews was stood behind them they would have disavowed the event altogether. I doubt any of them would want to be associated with such a hardline leftist dictator.

Although the biggest unanswered question I have is did the wombat make it ?

I'd give it a 87.2% chance it got wet.

Snoidberg's 'funny' image has nothing to do with Dictator Dan in Victoria Australia.

Krispy Kreme Donuts did a promotion over four years ago in America where they gave away donuts to anyone who was vaccinated.

So it has zero 'funny' connotations AND zero contemporary contextualisation then ?

It is just a bunch of pictures of people partaking in a Krispy Kreme promo from a few years ago.

So it has as much funny and as much relevance of say a bunch of people taking selfies of themselves getting 4c / litre discount at a servo because they also bought a snickers in 2020.

Wowser - what a let down. I assumed it was making some sort of satirical political commentary based on current affairs. A comment so nuanced and subtle that even the great mind of Carantoc didn't actually comprehend. I was quite relieved when Mark asked the question, it allowed Carantoc's ignorance to remain hidden.

But alas, a new form of comedy it isn't.

Still, what about the wombat ?

I do, but I feel I need to understand it better before I do.

The deal was if you got vaxxed you could choose between a pink donut or a blowie.

Did you order through Aliexpress?

I was reading they use a shipping service called iMile. Apparently this mob is worse than Uber eats and people have captured video surveillance of iMile contractors driving unroadworthy cars wearing shabby clothes and not wearing socks and shoes, or even thongs.

That could be your problem.

I'm different to many of the no-hopers on here - IGAF about your delayed parcel.

To be fair, we really should have ditched the witch earlier, even her friends knew how bad she was

Not enough people read the sign
