Huh. Never heard that one before. Admittedly, I don't know many euphemisms for pedophillia, so I guess? Doesn't make as much sense as the ones others people posted, though. I guess yours needs work? You'll probably get 'em next time.
I won't speak for everyone, but I definitely use dark humor to cope with all the terrible shit in the world. Pedophilia is objectively horrible. 9/11 was a horrific day that's seared into my brain. I make jokes about these things not because these things are funny, but because the alternative is facing the reality that maybe humanity is just irredeemable.
It reframes the horrible thing from something that is overwhelming and uncontrollable to something that I can come to terms on without being desired by it. It's gallows humor that targets the absurdity and chaos in a way that makes it manageable, but isn't targeting the victims.
Demoralization tactic. The powers that be want you to believe that humanity is irredeemable so you stop fighting back and standing up for others, and they can keep on exploiting you, the indefensible, and the innocent.
I get what you mean. I wrestle with this too and I respect and appreciate your dark sense of humor.
I still fight against the powers that be. It's human nature that I lack faith in.
Let me tell you a story.
I grew up in small town Nebraska. When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city to see a marching band. While we were watching, he started into the distance and asked me a question. He said, son, when you grow up, would you be the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned?
Now, as a 9 year old boy, I wasn't quite sure what he meant. Sensing this, he explained that I'd face a lot of demons in life and asked if I would defeat them, as well as all the nonbelievers and the plans that they had made. At this point, he teared up a bit. He went on to say that one day, he would leave me like a phantom, and would join the black parade.
That day, I made a solemn vow. To carry on his memory. Defiant to the end.
Yes, gallows humor is one thing, but just saying something vile without the humor part is... Not that. If what you post could be typed verbatim by a pedophile/racist/fascist/whatever and could be straight-up interpreted as such without any wit, it's not humor
The humor here comes from the context. These are insane sayings and posting them under the Epstein pic as if people are endorsing his philosophy is a form of sarcasm, while also a rebuke of the society that popularized such sayings so much at one point that we all know them
Says the person who was talking about humor where there was none - clearly a big authority on fun!
Look up examples of gallows humor. None of them would be "let's just say the gross thing that some pedos say without changing it to make it humorous". Just like you wouldn't randomly spout some horribly racist trope as-is, just for funsies...
30-40 years ago they weren't taboo or offensive and you could hear them regularly when "hanging out with the guys" I was a kid at the time and there are several more that were common.
I think people are commenting on the societal phenomenon that is these types of people and part of that includes nods to the fact that it used to be so out in the open there were catchphrases most of us learned AS CHILDREN
Yea I bet you didn’t want to know that either! There’s a clip in “filthy rich” from Netflix where an attorney interrogated him about it and you can tell he is just furious.
He was pure evil. But how does this particular type of article fit with aged like milk? It was talking about a specific month 45 years ago. I get the irony, but probably the wrong place to post.
At the time that may have been true. I doubt anything "of the month" is meant to stand up for 40 years. But if an "of the month" article is gospel to you for all time, you do you.
Okay, serious question for anyone who might know, how did Cosmo's Bachelor of the Month feature work? Was that something that men applied for? Was it a New York exclusive thing? Was it someone's job to keep an eye out for young social climbers who were bachelors?
The reason I ask is that I keep seeing all these ways that Epstein had ridiculously good luck in his 20s. Good luck that's hard to believe didn't require outside assistance. So, I'd be very curious to hear how significant it is to be a 'Bachelor of the Month.'
Read the article associated with the picture. Rung by rung he climbed the ladder by lying and manipulating. No one tried to stop him. Operating on the edge of criminality. Sound familiar? No wonder whe he and 47 were such good friends. Greedy MF's.
Night before last I rewatched This Is Spinal Tap for the first time in decades. It hold up. Two things especially jumped out at me:
1) Sabrina Carpenter's MBF cover closely aligns with the Smell the Glove cover Spinal Tap was not allowed to use.
2) The lyrics to Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight were 100% Epstein:
You're sweet, but you're just four feet
And you still got your baby teeth
You're too young and I'm too well hung
Tonight i'm gonna rock you (tonight i'm gonna rock you)
Tonight i'm gonna rock you (tonight i'm gonna rock you)
Tonight

If not play in the mud! -PPOTUS, also, probably

🤮🤮🤮
Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed.
What the hell is wrong with you all
We're doing impersonations of semi famous people. You know.
Right... My point is having a "look how many gross pedophile sayings I have memorized" contest is a weird flex
Welcome to the internet, friend.

I bet you're fun at parties.
Kinda makes you wonder why this person is even reading through this thread in the first place.

The fact that so many are well known is more telling about society in general
30-40 years ago they weren't taboo or offensive and you could hear them regularly when "hanging out with the guys" I was a kid at the time and there are several more that were common.
Call me crazy but they probably wouldn't be so "well-known" if people didn't repeat them playing pretend pedophile?
I don't think that's what people are doing
I think people are commenting on the societal phenomenon that is these types of people and part of that includes nods to the fact that it used to be so out in the open there were catchphrases most of us learned AS CHILDREN
I think we know that was F-ed up
Just like Epstein is
They’re doing impressions
We went to public school in America...
There a lot wrong. Hilarious but wrong
Got that menendez brother vibe...
ew
Egg shaped penis.
He had an egg and Trump has a mushroom. They could make an omelette!
[Heads to the kitchen to throw out the eggs and mushrooms]
👨🍳🔪🌭
I didn’t know that.
Yea I bet you didn’t want to know that either! There’s a clip in “filthy rich” from Netflix where an attorney interrogated him about it and you can tell he is just furious.
Aááánd... here goes my breakfast. Thank you NyanKate.
Is an egg shaped penis bad? Asking for...well, genuine curiosity, I've never heard of one that shape.
One survivor described it as lemon shaped. Is it bad? I’m not an expert but I don’t think it’s good.
Sounds like literally, a dog. Once they mate they get locked, in kinda an ash to ash position. 🤢
What a CAD(bury)!
Wasn't that ascribed to a certain convicted felon?
Great value John Travolta
Missing the Stayin’ Alive part
😂👏👏👏
Temu Travolta.
This is good. My thought was bootleg Travolta but giving it a shitty brand name takes the cake
Edit: SP
Gone Travolta
🥚
🥚🍆
Looks like Lou Reed, lol
An insult to Lou Reed.
Sure
I see Dennis Miller, the smug and unfunny one trick pony who used to do SNL fake news.
Travolta
He was pure evil. But how does this particular type of article fit with aged like milk? It was talking about a specific month 45 years ago. I get the irony, but probably the wrong place to post.
Bachelor of the Month is supposed to be someone women want. So yeah, I think this is perfect for the sub.
At the time that may have been true. I doubt anything "of the month" is meant to stand up for 40 years. But if an "of the month" article is gospel to you for all time, you do you.
When you order John Travolta from Wish
I wonder if he still would’ve won if they knew he had a 2-inch lemon shaped joint?
Those eyes 😟
Okay, serious question for anyone who might know, how did Cosmo's Bachelor of the Month feature work? Was that something that men applied for? Was it a New York exclusive thing? Was it someone's job to keep an eye out for young social climbers who were bachelors?
The reason I ask is that I keep seeing all these ways that Epstein had ridiculously good luck in his 20s. Good luck that's hard to believe didn't require outside assistance. So, I'd be very curious to hear how significant it is to be a 'Bachelor of the Month.'
This was obviously rigged by him and his well connected friends in the publishing biz. Not luck, connections.
Read the article associated with the picture. Rung by rung he climbed the ladder by lying and manipulating. No one tried to stop him. Operating on the edge of criminality. Sound familiar? No wonder whe he and 47 were such good friends. Greedy MF's.
Sad.
Mistakes were made
Looks like the kid from Saturday Night Fever that "fell" off the bridge.
I had to check the IMDB to see if there was resemblance between them. I then got the allusion to the “fall”.
Looks like a creep
Totally looks like the crazy brother from Six Feet Under, Billy.
Hey. Maybe he should play him in the movie.
Night before last I rewatched This Is Spinal Tap for the first time in decades. It hold up. Two things especially jumped out at me:

Standards were low back then damn.
I thought his looks were fine. The photo didn’t age well due to his behaviour.
Around the time the Holden Camira was named car of the year in Australia. Also, aged like yoghurt
I wonder why he didn’t flash his gummy smile
Quagmire
Shouldn't be have been on the cover of teen Vogue that's more his audience? /s
More like Teen Beat
Gross
Looks like Big Bird to me
So which pedo buddy of his was connected to Cosmo?
Almost looks like a young Fred West and thats not a good thing
Helen Girlie Brown would think so. Cosmo did sometimes have some good articles, but in spite of that hag, not because of her.
Should have titled it PEDO--Sex-Trafficker Of The Century
Should have titled it PEDO--Sex-Trafficker Of The Century
He looks like John Travolta to me.
I thought that was Ben Stiller
I guess that’s sexy for a 14 year old.
GROSS.
With wording like that. Anyone would think he was gay?
🤢🤢🤮
Hey, Mr. Kotter, up your nose wit a rubber hose!
I'm going for nahnah stay away from that beady eyed guy.
Who in their right mind would date this bachelor after all we know about him?
Well no one knew in 1980
Perhaps the Dalton School students knew?
Ewww I sure hope not but maybe.
So many democrats were hanging out with him! Wild stuff
So many potential pedophiles were hanging out with him. Who cares what party they were? If they were Dems, lock em up!
But it sure seems that MAGA has a blind spot with Trump.
If you don’t want to be just another MAGAt a-hole, why don’t you reply with “if Trump is implicated in the Epstein files, lock him up!”
