HELLO ALL WELCOME

Meth
Vicodin
Oxy
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm vicodins……..
First!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There can only be one winner! Im really sorry to let u down, but you’re the biggest fail on earth. I’d suggest something like a psychiatrist.
Greetings,
Santa Claus
i suggest a handgun.
Maybe Magnum?
How about a Magnum .45?
Magnum P.I.???
Trojan Magnum?
wow, now thats brutal
The dolphin-head-box-licker was a nice touch. If there was a political message in there somewhere, I missed it.
immigrant labor is awful… yet immigrants don’t physically make the cartoon the simpsons…maybe some merchandise and knock-off accessories but how is that directly tied to the show?
In summation: If there’s a political message, I missed it too.
The message is you see all the horrible things, get really sad, but then as soon as that classic simpsons outro comes on you forget all about it. You smile and go on with your life.
Is your name pronounced uses-unblock? I like that much better than use-sunblock.
BTW, I was kidding. I see the absolutely overt political message, and I couldn’t disagree more. At no point in the manufacture of The Simpsons is some evil slavemaster cracking the whip on poor, defenseless kids with crayons.
Immigrant labor is awful? You mean it’s awful that a Mexican can cross the border illegally, work here, and send his hard-earned cash back home to feed his family? Yes, that’s truly a travesty (sarc).
Political message: How about corporate greed. One corporation manufactures somewhere for cheap so everyone else has to follow suit or loose out on the market share. Consumers want cheap and get used to paying nothing for plastic furniture and melamine enriched baby formula. Now corporate America can’t pull out. They’ll just have to put on a condom and hope it doesn’t break. But wait, they can still make their product cheaper by going with company B who may be questionable. Shares will soar and stock options will quadruple in value. Do it says the CEO. Do it says the CFO. Do it says the consumer.
No what is a travesty is that that illegal immigrant paid someone to smuggle him in, sends money for his family to be smuggled in, and all of said money finds it’s way to the south american drug cartels thus helping to fund them even more and at the same time often providing mules to smuggle in drugs some of who die in the process. So again tell me how this is a good thing.
All of the money goes to the drug cartels? that’s impressive and simplistic.
But you can’t let all the immigrants into the country at once otherwise america will be just as crap as the overpopulated place they come from. imo you should definitely let some in tho.
I saw this as illegal immigrant labor IN THE US. We exploit them to no end, but at the same time it would never happen if they didn’t sneak in and reap the benefits of the taxes LEGAL Americans pay (that illegals contribute nothing towards). I really don’t know how to feel about it…
And in regards to the DIRECT relationship to the Simpsons and it’s overall political message, I still don’t see one.
Uhh looked more like it was China labor to me rather than immigrant labor in the U.S.
And considering all the DVD’s and toys are made there that’s what I’m going with.
banksy owns
And the simpson’s STILL sucks
That was almost as depressing as their attempts at humor today.
Banksy is awesome.
yes.
The message is, that we forget something like that in a split second, i dont know about you guys but it seemed like you got depressed, and then as soon as the normal beginning came on you forgot about it.
Goodjob.
Simpson did it.
srsly why is it taking so long to buff? is it cause im in sweden?
yes.
Ha! Must be Foxconn.
i refuse to watch the simpsons ever again.
This is why the simpsons and futurama are better then south park and family guy
make that futurama and old simpsons are better
ufff, southpark and family guy is the two winners, not simpsons and futurama
Classic Simpsons > South Park > Futurama
Family Guy is some seriously unfunny failure. This couch gag alone was funnier than anything Family Guy has ever did and it’s from the worst Simpsons season ffs.
you are all missing the point here.. ::sigh::
banksy is the mothafuckin shit.
ps.
getme the fuck outta here!
Does anyone else have that when you watch a vid on this site and there’s this commercial of “Scarlet” next to the vid that litterally makes your video lag like hell?
I do, I refreshed this page 6times because of it ‘-.-
the simpsons cartoons are made in south korea along with merchandise, nobody really realizes this. the banksy into of course takes this concept to an extreme for artistic and conceptual purposes which is what he does. the animations may be not slave labor, just cheap outsourced labor, which is still pretty disgusting.
