Transcript:
Rat: I don't like the family in the comic strip "Hi and Lois." I want to beat one of them up. Goat: Who do you want to beat up? Rat: I want to get the dad. Goat: You want to get Hi? Hey! What the??? Rat: I am so darn clever.
The Comics Police aren’t arresting him for making a pun; they’re arresting him for making a drug reference. (Yes, it happens to be a pun, but still…) Note that nobody was taken away for threatening violence…
The Comic Police are kinda behind the times, as MJ is not treated as a serious offense in most venues now. Maybe Rat bribed them to take down Goat. I won’t be surprised.
do be careful in this country. cops are becoming overly aggressive. killing dogs. tasing people and congratulating if the victim dies. raiding people’s houses if they have gardens, because a tomato plant and marijuana are the same thing. punching a mentally disabled teen while held down in the face. arresting people when buying bottled water, because polish spring is the same as vodka. arresting a stroke victim, for not responding to commands. and, many of the internal investigations are justify the actions. “acting appropriately” is their justification.
What a bunch of THC (Totally Harsh Comments) Doesn’t Pig know the ComicCops are everywhere? They’re a two-dimensional branch of the NSA. (National Snooping Agency)Oops, can I say “NSA” here? If I’m not back tomorrow…
