Update on Get A Brain, Morans! guy
I can't vouch for the veracity of this, but the link below claims to be a brief interview from a baseball blog with the Get A Brain, Morans! guy. Even puts a name to the face:

1. Love this quote
Q: What do you mean by "the little things"?

A: For a perfect example, just look at one of the greatest teams ever assembled: the 2006 World Champion St. Louis Cardinals. That team had David Eckstein, Yadier Molina, So Taguchi, and Aaron Miles. That's a Jew , a Mexican , a Chinaman , and a regular American.

kinda gives you some insight to his "thinking process".

The US wishes to apologize to the world for presenting these knuckledraggers.

12. He's paraphrasing Archie Bunker.
That Bunker quote was popularized recently by a TV commercial advertising an anthology of the series. That's why he used that phrasing.

16. Paraphrasing A. Bunker is even more stupid...
Than being a bigot first hand.

Sometimes we just don't have to think too hard to get insight. The mind found the pattern at "Jew."

so any statute of limitations has likely long since expired.

(A) I can't talk about that. I'm in the process of suing that photographer and a bunch of internet people, if I can find a lawyer who'll represent me. (To tape recorder) If anyone listening to this is a lawyer or an attorney, please contact my twitter so I can sue somebody.

Well, if no lawyer has expressed an interest in you case after nearly ten years, shouldn't that be a clue that you DON'T have one? He really IS a moran!

20. Well, If He Can't Find, "A Lawyer OR An Attorney".............
What exactly does he think is his basis for a lawsuit? Illegally capturing his stupidity on film?

Maybe if you can't find a lawyer, as an alternative, you could always try to find an attorney.

What a moran.

29. Lemme get this straight...
In the process of telling 'the other side' what a bunch of idjits they are, the guy instead makes a fool of himself by not spell-checking his hand-painted sign before carrying it proudly to the protest.:dunce:

People see it, but instead of feeling diminished and "told", they laugh their asses off :rofl: and take pictures.

He thinks it's because he's got such a clever sign, but by the time he's been clued in to the incredibly ironic screwup he's made, he's ALL OVER THE INTARWEBZ. :wow:

His immortality is assured; he has become an INTERNET MEME- the mighty MORAN MAN!

Well, now he feels like a complete fool...:grr:...and it's gotta be somebody's fault, right?
And in America, if you screw up and feel like an asshole, you try to redirect the blame and sue someone else.
Only...seems there's no deep-pocketed target of opportunity nobody to sue here.:shrug:
What's an Internet Meme to do?



Seriously, that would be a HELL of a thing to be 'famous' for...being an internet meme for bein' stupid, or 'dork-sided' or any of the other...er...well-known people...:shrug:

And this clown still is as clueless as ever, no hope for him to learn from his mistakes. I would have been mortified to learn that I became a person who became viral on the net, due to being photographed doing something so stupid as to hold up a sign that proved it beyond any doubt in public.

25. Get a brain moran truly needed to be drafted and then shipped off to Afghanistan
Edited on Tue Jul-19-11 10:29 AM by Urban Prairie
then we would see how he really felt about our war-mongering leaders, many of whom never served or dodged the draft themselves.

The faux bravery of being "out of range", spilling other peoples blood, borrowing billions from China, while sending millions of our manufacturing jobs there, AND US troops being wounded and killed, indirectly defending their energy supply to help manufacture products that the global corporate capitalists turned around and shipped here to the US, while the Chinese troops didn't even sustain a hangnail in defending their crude oil shipping routes from Iran.

What is wrong with this picture?
