    Someone fucked up the speech bubble gag. It looks like the quote is speaking the picture of Philomena rather than vise versa

      Digging into Neelix’s history, however, his fellow administrators couldn’t believe what they found. He hadn’t just created a handful of redirects, as the original report described; he’d quietly created thousands upon thousands of new redirects, each one a chaotic, if not offensive, permutation of the word “tits” and “boobs.” For example, he created redirects for “tittypumper,” “tittypumpers,” “tit pump,” “pump titties,” “pumping boobies” and hundreds more for “breast pump.” In fact, for seemingly every Wikipedia article related to breasts, he did something similar. …

      But the deeper the administrators looked into Neelix’s history, the more inexplicable redirects they found. “If [Neelix] thinks links like ‘titty constructor,’ ‘boobie builder’ and a dozen variations [should redirect to] ‘breast reconstruction’ and ‘tiny titties’ with many variations [redirect to] ‘micromastia,’” scolded administrator Jbhunley, “I strongly suggest they do not have the maturity and judgement we expect in [our] administrators.”

      … “Who the fuck is going to search ‘suckling of the titties’ instead of ‘breastfeeding’?”

      “I especially don’t see the value of creating pages with titles like ‘titty banged,’ ‘frenchfucking,’ ‘licks boobs,’ ‘boobyfeeding,’ ‘a trip down mammary lane’ and so on. Wikipedia is not censored, but we’re also not Urban Dictionary,” added Ivanvector. …

      Finally, after six days of exhausting deliberations, Neelix reappeared on November 11th, and volunteered to step down as an administrator and retire from Wikipedia completely.

      The Trial of 80,000 Titties was over. Still, it would take administrators nearly three years to undo the damage Neelix had wrought. Recalling “such timeless classics as ‘booby surgeons,’ ‘titty waist hip measurement,’ ‘milks boobies’ and ‘titty physics,’” one Wikipedian concluded, “thank God he apparently never heard the term ‘jugs’ or ‘rack’ or other similar slang or this would have been many times worse.”

      Fantastic

        As I understand, we lactose-intolerants don’t have enough lactase to digest the lactose before it reaches our gut. And in the gut, there’s microbes that love lactose. So, they’ll actually signal to our brain that they want more lactose.

    Still a bit weird to me that she’s so popular outside of the UK.

      Not all British comedy translates across borders, but she’s absolutely hilarious.

      I will admit I was hesitant to even start watching Cunk on Earth because I wasn’t in the mood for British, but boy was I glad I did.

      How? She’s absolutely hilarious!

      I just “found” her yesterday thanks to some mention of her here and then I happened to see a video of hers show up on YouTube.

      “I feel like you’re mansplaining, can we stick to the Soviet Onion?” I was rolling

      Y’all can’t hide. We’re out there on YouTube watching old episodes of screenwipe. We’re coming for your panel shows. There’s nothing you can do about it.

      She’s the type of British that North Americans like. North Americans appreciate the witty British wordplay, but can’t stand the “righto, cheerio, pip pip, beans on toast” business.

    Wouldn’t they be more like chemical weapons factories?
