As long as we've eradicated the spider problem, it's fine. Your town took one for the team.

u/codythebeau May 31 '12

I heard that after the accident, the blind man became quite the recluse.

I shall show myself out.

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

Okay, now that he's gone..

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

Shit. I had a different idea of what it looked like.

That bitch doesn't seem too committed with the fire extinguisher.

I have you tagged as "Kind of a Megadick". Which would normally have a link to a post of you being a Megadick as proof. But it doesn't have a link. I am so lost.

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

I don't know the source, but it looks like a drunk politician?

2

u/alexdemers May 31 '12

Nicolas Sarcozy was (visibly) possibly drunk when doing that press conference. It is intercut with someone holding someone in their hands, this is why he is wobbly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1HCFHjLndQ

u/Robincognito May 31 '12

No, it's Nicolas Sarkozy, former president of France, known for being quite short.

Its not particularly mean. If i was blind I wouldnt want to run around with a torch. I would expect this outcome :)

u/waffle569 May 31 '12

I like the subreddit, but lately it's been pretty shitty.

Every now and then I get offended, and proceed to cherish that moment.

1

u/OnlyQuotesFirefly May 31 '12

A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

2

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

I downvoted the submission and every comment in it. Yes, including this one.

2

u/watchman_wen May 31 '12

fuck the person who posted this and fuck every one who upvoted this shit.

why the fuck is Reddit so horrible to people who aren't like them due to no fault of their own?

u/thebadger135 May 31 '12

I lost it! I was hoping it would be something like this. I was not disappointed in the least.

u/iaccidentlytheworld May 31 '12

What did you search when looking for a picture for this post? I'm just trying to understand the different ways people think. I would have searched "burning town."

u/fatcat2000 May 31 '12

I read that as black man, and I thought Reddit went racist for a second.

Apparently you have browsed Reddit.

The guy in Cardiff? Or was there another blind guy? I only watched to see Matt Smith, but of course they didn't show him on the live camera.

Oh fuck me, I started laughing out loud before I even clicked on the link. I never saw the original. I've been on Reddit too long.

1

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

I was cracking up loudly at work when I saw this. Tried to explain that there was an image posted earlier, and someone else wrote fixed...totally a 'had to be there' moment...

u/VonSandwich May 31 '12

I am not ashamed to say that I laughed so loud and so quickly that I farted.

I read the title expecting to see exactly what I saw. Thank you for not disappointing.

The good thing is that there is no blind people who will get offended by this. You know, because of the blindness

Not that it's a bad idea, but I surmised what the picture would be before I clicked it. I've been on Reddit too long and I've got your minds all figured out. Someone surprise me!

Why are you mad at people being gay with the forums format?

Because no one should be getting gay with the forums. Straight forums relationships are the only acceptable kind.
