"Clinterest"

[redqueen]

Awful, sexist double-entennuendo? Or play on Clinton + Interest?

What do you think?

Is "Clintonflict" a sneaky sexist joke, too? Or is that one okay?

:crazy:

1. My first thought was a "Clinton centerist" someone leaning RIGHT of center claiming it's Left

[redqueen]

3. He was doing a story about that SLIMEBALL Mark Penn....

and asking about whether it was a conflict of interest, having him on her staff.

Conflict of Interest got changed into "Clintonflict of Clinterest".

And thus the latest item on the Poutrage menu was born.

4. The right hand doesn't know what the FAR right hand is doing." HRC

the ultimate irony

[crankychatter]

2. double entennuendo?

I quit playing video games after Pong.

[redqueen]

8. Ever see Samantha Bee's segment on that sleazy guy in FL?

Who was suing a bar because some lesbians kept beating him at pool?

Heheheheh... classic stuff.

[crankychatter]

28. I'm not allowed to see subversive Comedy Central in Rural Kansas

they don't even let us watch MSNBC and make us pay extra for CSPAN

CSPAN is like pornography or sumthin

[bunnies]

5. How does Clinton + Interest = Sexist?

I dont get a sexist meaning from that at all. Interest is sexist now? :shrug:

[tishaLA]

7. I believe some suggested that it had someting to do with

a clitoris. Or something. It all makes no sense to me.

[Catherina]

12. Oh COME ON! Are you serious? n/t

[Window]

29. I saw the clitoris post. Unbelievable.

[Hepburn]

40. SERIES, Catherina, it was HUGH!!!!11!!!

:Hi:

Yep, someone was absolutely serious that is was a sexist slam associated with the word clitoris.

Go figure....:rolf:

[moriah]

13. That's all I cound gather just looking at the term....

Which is why I chose "Ugh, really?".

The question of sexist would have to be decided by the person's intention -- did they honestly pronounce the word in their head and have dirty enough of a mind to go there? If so, then perhaps sexist. If not, not. But definitely ugh-worthy either way.

[bunnies]

22. If Clinterest makes people think of Clitoris..... lol....

They need help. ASAP. I think there some SERIOUS sexual oppression going on somewhere. Not good.

[Whisp]

41. LOL! you have to be kidding! have the link - I want to see this.

:rofl:
i want to see which Doofus said that. omg.

9. According to some...

"clinterest" rhymes with "clitoris"

Therefore, it is SEXIST!

[Catherina]

14. I can't wait for those people to get to the book-burning stage

I suppose books of poetry will be the first to go.

[bunnies]

23. Books wrapped in bras.

It's gonna be great. :thumbsup:

[bunnies]

19. !!!

:spray: oh man. I seriously almost just wet myself.

Not only does it not rhyme... but thats about the most insane logic Ive ever heard.

Ahhh. My eyes are watering. Best laugh Ive had all day. :rofl:

[Not the Only One]

39. Clitorises are great, though.

Clinton+Interest?

Clitorises are not sexist. We need to celebrate the clitoris. No need to make clitorises demeaning. Women should have pride in their clitorises.

[SoCalDem]

6. I think it's downright

Clintonriffic..Clintontastic..

[rug]

10. He's losing his snark.

[Catherina]

11. What possible double-entennuendo is there?

:shrug:

It's pretty straightforward. Clinton + Interest. Pretty soon nobody's going to take sexism seriously thanks to a few idiots.

[grantcart]

17. well now say it fast 3 times lol

[redqueen]

21. Sorry but it just doesn't work.

It doesn't rhyme. It just doesn't.

You can try reeeally hard... if you say it fast and ignore that it *doesn't rhyme* and all that... but... reality is what it is.

[IndianaJones]

15. epic fail. nt.

[redqueen]

16. The attempt to generate lots of Poutrage over "Clinterest"?

Yeah, ITA.

[IndianaJones]

20. hello..hello...helloooo. nt.

[Shakespeare]

50. "poutrage"

PERFECT. :thumbsup:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Tresalisa]

18. Seeing sexism in this play on the Clinton name

makes me wonder if some of us need an actual life.

Is there sexism in the world today? Is there racism? Short answer is "yes, there is", but seeing both in every inflection of someone's speech does the fight against both no good whatsoever.

[CoffeeCat]

31. dup

[Tresalisa]

33. LOL!

Guilty laughter, here, as I like both Clinton and Obama, but damn, that was funny!

:rofl:

[CoffeeCat]

24. "Clinterest"... You're a couple letters away from...

...a biology lesson.

[redqueen]

25. Six, actually.

But who's counting?

[CoffeeCat]

30. I prefer "Rodham feeder" (nt)

[reflection]

26. The Clinterist

Nature's Rubix Cube.

($1 to Family Guy for borrowing their material)

[Warren DeMontague]

27. I prefer "The S.S. Clintanic" nt

[CoffeeCat]

32. ...or how about "The Towering Clinferno"?? (nt)

[Vinca]

34. You guys really need to get a grip. How MIGHT this be sexist?

If it's what I'm thinking, the term might be Clintoris. That wasn't used. Seeing sexisim where none exists . . . again.

[Lilith Velkor]

35. Dumb, but not sexist. n/t

(And we all know what "n/t" stands for...)

:yoiks:

[redqueen]

36. Why are you using such a disgusting graphic?

What point do you think you're making?

[Lilith Velkor]

43. A fairly obvious one, I should think

There's at least one Obama supporter who LOL'd.

[redqueen]

44. That Obama's an asshole?

Obviously I'm dense.

Explain it please.

[Lilith Velkor]

45. That his online campaign resembles a certain something.

I'm sure Barack is a personable fellow. I'd gladly let him bum a smoke if he made the two-finger twitch in my direction.

[Maddy McCall]

47. You are a hoot!

I think the sig image is hilarious, and I'd let you bum a smoke if you twitched at me.

:rofl:

:rofl:

[PBS Poll-435]

49. That asshole needs a doctor, stat!

It has all sorts of problems...

[Lilith Velkor]

51. 99 problems

but this bitch ain't one.

[PBS Poll-435]

52. hehe

[MonkeyFunk]

48. There's nothing disgusting about the image

It's just reminiscent of a very different, disgusting image.

I laughed.

[tokenlib]

37. Ok, so the play on "conflict of interest' didn't work--there was nothing more to it...

I stared at it on the screen. Then I caught it. It was lame..not up to their usual pun and plays on words. But sexist? What the hell is wrong with some of you people???

[cooolandrew]

38. We'll let her voters decide. Like the intrest part though.

[truebrit71]

46. So the sniper-dodgers have decided that this is the phrase of the day to get enraged about?

...some folks need to recalibrate their outrage metre...
