Hoodie Goodies

In reference to celebrities wearing hoodies in public appearances to show some kind of solidarity to Treyvon Martin, a teen who was fatally shot last month during a fight with a neighborhood watch volunteer, I planned to make this picture my main on Facebook.

I asked a Facebook group “whats a good caption or text i can put over the image to maximize lolz?”. I got only one good suggestion, but the pursuit wasn’t fruitless since I got this lulzy exchange for my efforts instead..

Carl
Are these shots from the Michael/Janet “Scream” video?

Richard
oh, i make Michaels and Janets “scream” alright…

Brian
This hoodie thing is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of!

Richard
thats the point of mocking it…

Brian
Oh ok, sorry I missed it…lol

Richard
im looking for a sarcastic/satirical/humorous caption to either stamp on the pic or just paste in the adjoining text

Dan
“Transition from orange to black.”

This attempt at a burn by this Dan guy is where it gets fun…

Richard
good one, but most of my friends aren’t color blind so they wouldn’t get it. I need something that is funny on its own without having to rely on an inability to differentiate flesh tones in between the spectrum of “clear” and “Jersey Shore shade of Oompa Loompa”. preferably looking for one that satirizes the Treyvon-hoodie-solidarity trend, but if theres a gag [again – that makes sense] somewhere in there, that will be considered too.

Dan
With a sparkling demonstration of wit such as the above, I’m shocked you can’t come up with an original, amusing caption.

Richard
poor assumption. turning to others for input is an attempt to insure excellence/optimum outcome. it does not imply inability to perform said task.

Dan
I don’t need to assume when I can observe.

Richard
so your failure wasnt in the false assumption, it was actually a false observation? yikes. i woulda stuck with the first, but then again if you’re having trouble deciphering reality, admission is the first step to recovery.

Dan
You presuppose that I failed at something and then you attempt to give me recovery advice. It would almost be amusing if it weren’t so irrelevant.

Here’s where I should have pointed out that, derp, by definition, you can’t observe what is not there, so since I didn’t say I was unable to think of a caption on my own, his statement that that is the case is, by definition an assumption. Derrr. I didn’t need to kick him while he was down and point out that I had already posted a blog containing several captions before this post to Facebook was made, seeww….dudes in quite a hole. doesnt stop him from continuing to dig though:

Richard
More like it would be amusing if you made any sense…

Dan
(rofl)

Richard
meh. I chuckled at the dumb things you said a little too, but I dont think laughter is the most appropriate response. Education, possibly medication, is the key to coping with a loose grasp on reality.

Editors note: In hindsight, this was a poor response by me. It was late at night and I was letting this dude off with a grace-saver “you’re being dumb” reply instead of a devastating incontrovertible explanation of why he’s being dumb, which was a mistake cuz it doesn’t further the plot for your entertainment and instead just invites a “nuh uh” reply. I rectified this after his next response, but that still doesnt excuse the fact that it came several replies too late. I’ll try not to be so compassionate in the future.

Dan
Please don’t project your own insecurities onto me. It’s not becoming.

Richard
Hmm. the problem is deeper than I thought… you’re confusing factual inaccuracies with emotional problems like insecurity. oy.

Richard
I wanna help but my doctorate is in Love, so I cant prescribe you medicine. However I can try to help in the education part (though explaining what you could see yourself by scrolling up the page a little, admittedly may not be the remedy here, but i’ll give it a shot anyway)… Mainly: you cant “observe” a negative and you cant observe something that isnt true. you double failed (3 if you count the original comment, but who’s keeping track?) and are becoming increasingly weird in trying to deny it and recover. It’d be like if you asked for tips on a Mario Kart level and I erroneously assumed that it was because you were unable to complete a level. If you were to reply stating that no, actually, you’re doing fine in your gameplay but are always looking to improve – it would only compound my failure to respond saying that I “didnt assume” you were unable to play the game, I “observed” it. The reason its stupid is that it has no reflection on reality and instead shows your loose grasp on it. To which you would be right to respond by noting such.

Dan
When I’m looking for tips on irrelevance, I’ll send you a FR.

Richard
while I agree that your comments are irrelevant, it seems that if you’re going to make them and then try to defend them while simultaneously admitting their irrelevance…you might want to make them slightly more coherent.

I was hoping he would defend his claim that my skin is orange in this black and white photo since I of course have the original color copy, which would make for amusing possibilities but alas, he dropped that line for an even better Fail, so I guess it all worked out.

In other addendums: my friend Damian can suck a bag of dicks for Liking the lame orange burn-attempt, but friend Wyatt gets 5 points for responding to my threat to cut his bitch ass for not participating with a caption idea by threatening back to “go Zimmerman” on me (for readers of the future: George Zimmerman is the man who fatally shot the hoodie wearing teen in the chest after they wrestled on the floor).

Points awarded because it made me think of a new sexual term: “going zimmerman”… means rolling around in the grass with someone till you shoot a load on their chest.
