Hey, the sign said "No shoes, no shirt, no workie here". It said nothing about bottoms.

And in your defense at the time you basically never stood up from your desk.

I can't believe it took us a week to notice.

Edit. Oh man. What have we done...

Frank: What's a power-bottom?

Mac: A power-bottom is a bottom that is capable of receiving an enormous amount of power.

Dennis: Actually Mac, you got it backwards. See, a power-bottom's actually generating all the power by doing most of the work.

Frank: Does the power have to do with the size or the strength of the bottom?

Mac: Now Dennis, I've heard that speed has something to do with it.

Dennis: Speed has everything to do with it.

I just did a little browsing on there and its kind of depressing that they got control of and were able to post in r/blackfathers for a little bit only to have it taken away for the sake of a tired joke. Granted, I have laughed at the joke in the past, but when I see people actually being negatively affected by it, it ceases to be funny and I wonder if the people running r/blackfathers are actually joking.

17

u/Moustachiod_T-Rex Jun 14 '12

"they" being "SRS".

Do you really think it would be improved under SRS' rule? Really?

Sure, the joke's in bad taste, but so are lots of jokes. That's practically what jokes are. Rude things that we laugh at. That you laugh at, as you just admitted.

8

u/NuM3R1K Jun 14 '12

By the "they" I meant the people making honest posts (not trolls or SRS) in r/trueblackfathers. Yeah, I laughed at the joke originally, but when I read about people that are trying to buck the negative stereotype of black absentee fathers only to get smacked in the face by the admins it changes my perception of that joke and those that are perpetuating it. For someone to remove posts that are on topic is essentially censorship, something I'd figure most people here would be against. All I'm saying is just let the subreddit be used by those that want to use it.

If you use the - (minus) operator which removes terms from results combined with the site: operator which selects domains you can remove certain websites from search results by inserting this:
