It clearly does make people laugh. Lots of people, including me. Hence all the over 700 upvotes when I am posting this response.
It’s a bit silly to think your sense of humor matches everyone else’s in a post that is clearly one lots of people enjoyed.
It’s worse now. Israel flags are everywhere now too.
I’ve lived in the U.S. my whole life and I’ve never gotten automatically-sweet coffee unless I order something like a flavored coffee drink.
If Facebook posts make people laugh, and this one did, what’s the problem?
Also, this is clearly not a real Facebook post, it’s an obvious joke.
I went to a private elementary school where I had the same teacher for 1st through 6th grade. Not only did the kids bully me, so did he. And he encouraged the other kids to do it, even my friends. I’m relatively certain, looking back on it, that it was in part because I’m Jewish.
He also once did something that would 100% have put him on a sex offender list today. Once I started crying because of how they were treating me and he put me on his lap and kissed me on the cheek and started calling me a little baby. But it was the 80s, so apparently that was okay.
I discovered he had an email address a while back and I sent him an email telling him that he fucked up my childhood and that he, as a professed Christian, now knows that he will go to his grave unforgiven because there is no possible way he could do enough to earn my forgiveness.
He replied, I deleted it without reading it. Fuck him.
The bigoted piece of shit also was in the Peace Corps in the Cameroon and because of that, thought it was totally appropriate to dress in the traditional clothing of Cameroonian people every Halloween. Unsurprisingly, the two Jewish kids and the two black kids in school were treated the worst by him. One of the two black kids was a girl who very definitely had dyslexia. Wow did he humiliate her over it constantly.
The funny thing is that he basically terrified me into not explaining what he was doing to my parents explicitly enough. They saw weird signs, but also always told me that I’d be treated worse in public school, which was proven untrue when I went to middle school, because as shitty as middle school kids are to each other, at least the teachers generally didn’t take the side of the bullies and encourage them to bully harder. They only knew when my mom ran into one of the people I went to school with in a supermarket who told my mom that she felt so bad for me when we were in that hellhole.
Coppola might be one of the last great filmmakers left.
On the other hand…
Also-
That one was such a piece of shit, Coppola didn’t even put his name on it.
That’s basically what every positive review I’ve seen said- “it’s a mess of a movie but I liked it anyway.”
I quite like what Richard Roeper said:
Francis Ford Coppola sold off one of his wine companies in order to secure a $120 million line of credit to finance his dream project “Megalopolis.”
With all great respect: You were better off with the Pinot Noir, sir.
And that’s why you should never trust an octopus.
You wouldn’t see us squid doing anything like that. Ick.
It’s true. I am the master pedant.
Are you saying gander is just a construct?
I’m sensing a theme in the comments.
Excuse me, sir, but I have not only seen a Bigfoot, I have been inside a Bigfoot.
Here is a Bigfoot:
Unless he’s transgoose, he’s a silly gander. I’m just saying.
Pretty soon it will be Wintnering again.
It works fine for a while, but eventually it Goes Bananas.
Fuck him. He took hours of my childhood away from he. He deserves to be dead and I hope he takes the dog and the fucking wizard with him.
I just checked, it’s on the Internet Archive. No borrowing necessary.

I guess it depends for me. I love Roald Dahl, both his children’s and his adult’s work, even though he was a virulent antisemite (even the museum dedicated to him comes right out and says it). My dad, who was super-sensitive to that stuff, was okay reading his books to me when I was a kid despite that.
And I think the reason why is that he didn’t let his beliefs leak into his work. I can’t look back at any of his works that I have read and see any hatred of Jews.
On the other hand, there’s someone like Woody Allen (Jewish connection not intended here) who you can see his awful shit in his movies. He’s literally dating a high school student in his film Manhattan. And he treats her like shit and basically gets away with it too.
I can’t watch Woody Allen movies anymore.
What are you even talking about? Do you think people upvoted because they disliked it? Were all the upvotes from bots? Otherwise I think lots of people thought it was funny. What evidence is there to the contrary beyond a handful of complaints?
