Not far off though, this is actually what's going on in Ireland.

[–]cionn -2 points-1 points ago

On his head! right on his feckin head! I never get tired of that, i still break up laughing every time I pass smithfield.

[–]shadofx -2 points-1 points ago

fuck the police? =.=

[–]Nathandoyle[S] 18 points19 points ago

Sorry, genuinely taught it was Ireland.

[–]GreatBosh 191 points192 points ago

Well you were taught wrong, I'm afraid.

[–]malousbal 63 points64 points ago

I tink this individual was writing Irish..

[–]bleacliath 36 points37 points ago

I tink this individual was writing Irish..

Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste, ná Béarla cliste. - that's Irish :-)

[–]malousbal 2 points3 points ago

then I meant Hiberno-English

[–]bleacliath 6 points7 points ago

then I meant Hiberno-English

I does be meanin' Hiberno-English. :->

[–]lethargicwalrus 2 points3 points ago

Bears speak that shit right?

[–]ave0000 2 points3 points ago

[–]malousbal -1 points0 points ago

Oh, you ;)

[–]PasticheofDerm -4 points-3 points ago

Not Ulster-Scots? -_-

[–]Mars_Ultor13 2 points3 points ago

Thog vota suas igore do chuid gaeilge. (Sorry if the spelling is off, I havn't spoken Irish in four months.)

[–]bleacliath -1 points0 points ago

Tá do chuid Gaeilge go híontach!

[–]dubhain1120 1 point2 points ago

I see that I've found the reddit gaeltacht.

[–]PerilPhoSho -5 points-4 points ago

Pretty sure that's Gaelic there boy-o. At least that's what they called it when I lived in Ireland for a year.

[–]micls 5 points6 points ago

Gaeilge, not Gaelic. But close.

[–]PerilPhoSho -2 points-1 points ago

My bad, but isn't that not the English spelling of the word? When speaking English, I don't say someone speaks francais or espagnol.

[–]micls 0 points1 point ago

Nope, the english word for the word is Irish.

So you can say 'I speak Irish fluently', or I speak Gaeilge.

Gaeilge/Irish is a one of the Gaelic languages though, that's just not the name of it.

[–]PerilPhoSho -1 points0 points ago

Ahh, thanks for the info.

[–]bleacliath 0 points1 point ago

In English, the language is just called Irish. Gaelic usually refers to a similar language spoken in Scotland.

It was the 18th and 19th century Irish-speaking immigrants that brought the word Gaedhilge (Gaelic) over to America and beyond, and it has stuck there. But in Ireland, it is rarely called Gaelic.

[–]Bobzer 3 points4 points ago

As an Irish person I respect your subtle trolling.

[–]leadoffamoped -1 points0 points ago

I taught he had a seagull

[–]robertbobbobby 0 points1 point ago

I thought that it was the fighting Irish. . .

[–]jsphenom08 1 point2 points ago

Only if you're in South Bend!

[–]Osyris_Glitch 3 points4 points ago

As a native of South Bend I can verify this statement. That is if you replace "Irish" with drunk asshole students.

[–]ZBGB 3 points4 points ago

Sorry.

[–]DR_McBUTTFUCK 2 points3 points ago

You did nothing wrong, Canada.

[–]reddit-ulous 1 point2 points ago

No. He taught it to others like that as well. False prophet.

[–]bopoqod 9 points10 points ago

Careful now. Down with that sort of thing.

[–]IRAPEDSHELOB 1 point2 points ago

father ted reference always wins

[–]LeopardKhan 3 points4 points ago

Why?

[–]smashybashy 20 points21 points ago

Well it's very complex but you should probably know that it involves Aliens, Pyramids, and your mother.

[–]BigCheeser 1 point2 points ago

Don't forget whiskey beer and mind your own fucking business, up the swall!

[–]MoreWhiskeyPls 1 point2 points ago

I'll get the whiskey.

[–]BigCheeser 0 points1 point ago

We got ourselves a swalley people!

[–]Zap-Brannigan -1 points0 points ago

oh man, I'd love some of that "fucking business"

[–]Ozzertron 0 points1 point ago

Yeah? Well I taught I taw a puddy tat. Guess we were both wrong, weren't we?

[–]TomTom1988 -1 points0 points ago

If it was Ireland it would be a potatoes

[–]I_h8_spiders -1 points0 points ago

Never say you're sorry to a Redditor.

[–]Thom0 -3 points-2 points ago

Why? Because there is a cow in the picture? You really are a fucking idiot.

[–]everyonelovescheese -2 points-1 points ago

That would explain why it appears to be Michael Schumacher doing the spraying!

Oh, this again

[–]NinjaDiscoJesus 33 points34 points ago

we wouldn't waste milk like that..

[–]EpicJ 0 points1 point ago

If I remember they were protesting because it was over the price they are paid over milk and they were losing money on selling milk so they could waste it and it wouldn't make any difference

[–]kencole54321 5 points6 points ago

Better use of milk then the gallon I poured down the drain this morning.

[–]mang3lo 11 points12 points ago

imagine what happens when the cow passes it's expiration date - they don't have drains big enough

[–]cheekytriangle 4 points5 points ago

If the mad-cow scare was any indication, in Britain/Ireland they just feed them to other cows.

[–]rannie_pophe 0 points1 point ago

I prefer the Budapest Style Dinner, with beer and not milk.

[–]Kokzyl 17 points18 points ago

If I do this in public, I get arrested. I should bring a Cow next time.

[–]GrumpyRob 10 points11 points ago

Classic newbie mistake of bringing a bull instead of a cow. Don't feel bad, it happens.

[–]poptart2nd 4 points5 points ago

You lactate on police?

[–]Ah-Cool 3 points4 points ago

pelting police with bottles and chickens

I want to see this.

[–]beve21 8 points9 points ago

I like the cut of that guy's jib.

[–]lady_lowercase 1 point2 points ago

the person on the far right with the cow-print umbrella... holy shit, s/he came prepared.

[–]gahane 1 point2 points ago

Well, It was a cold day. It was Fresian cold.

[–]TheStatusBro 2 points3 points ago

What the hell. Is that David Coulthard?

[–]Adria_Penguin 0 points1 point ago

Oh god

My life's been a lie. David Coulthard is actually a Brusselian farmer.

[–]themagictoast 1 point2 points ago

Down with this sort of thing!

[–]AlkalineDuck 1 point2 points ago

Careful now!

[–]anal_blazers 7 points8 points ago

What is Dale Jr. doing in Ireland?

[–]ImNietzscheBietzsche 6 points7 points ago

Shooting milk at the police.

[–]Bunny281 5 points6 points ago

Hope they had cookies to go with that milk.

[–]AeroRandy 6 points7 points ago

Two giant oreos.

[–]Abra-Used-Teleport 10 points11 points ago

Cookie shields... holy shit... I'll make millions.

[–]Toderico 9 points10 points ago

What could you do with millions of Cookie shields though? Sell them?

[–]Abra-Used-Teleport -1 points0 points ago

Well... yes... or we could eat them...

[–]Tomred27 6 points7 points ago

That picture was not taken in Ireland

[–]Thom0 4 points5 points ago

Thats not Ireland dumbass.

[–]nativefloridian 0 points1 point ago

I love the faces of the protesters in the background.

[–]bombproof 0 points1 point ago

THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!

[–]CivilDiscussions 0 points1 point ago

Never mind the hose going around the cows leg and into his hand.

[–]benbentenn -1 points0 points ago

It took this far down for me to find someone mentioning this, or did i miss another comment?

[–]bunnysuitman 0 points1 point ago

...David Coulthard ...is milking a cow?

[–]CanIGetaHellYeah 0 points1 point ago

I knew this would get milked for karma

[–]dedtigers 0 points1 point ago

In America, the cops would have beaten both him and the cow to death way before that happened

[–]elastic-craptastic 1 point2 points ago

They would probably charge you with assault and battery. Maybe the same charge as they do for spitting on a cop, as well, if they have a separate assault charge for that.

[–]mauvareen -1 points0 points ago

unless it was in Los Angeles, then they would have just shot them.

[–]WOWNICEONE 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of this. Oh, Kelso.

[–]Lurkerhereduh 0 points1 point ago

Do they really shoot out that hard?

[–]iforgotmyusername12 -2 points-1 points ago

If you notice there is an orange hose that is I am fairly certain the source of the stream.

[–]Katamarihero 0 points1 point ago

That's a rope.

[–]Metallivane 0 points1 point ago

Gotta use what's available, I guess

[–]MyAssDoesHeeHawww -1 points0 points ago

Milk was a bad choice!

Brick, where did you get a hand grenade?!

[–]Nathandoyle[S] -5 points-4 points ago

I'm from Ireland too.

[–]monkeyfudge 1 point2 points ago

How on Earth did you think this photo was taken in Ireland then? It looks nothing like an Irish city and those clearly aren't Garda.

[–]RutlandCore 1 point2 points ago

With a username like Nathandoyle, I think we figured that one out on our own, thanks.

[–]bonesmccoy 3 points4 points ago

reposters in repostville

[–]jawni -1 points0 points ago

They have photo-shoots at protests now?

[–]TommyMore 0 points1 point ago

r/photoshopbattles, we need you now

[–]Alexxandria -1 points0 points ago

I thought that was Daniel Tosh at first.

[–]newtothelyte -1 points0 points ago

Those shields are pretty badass

[–]Hyperyze -1 points0 points ago

Where's the fire hoses?

[–]kraken_kitty -1 points0 points ago

And we wonder why they don't take us seriously ... sigh

[–]a1ckb52 -1 points0 points ago

As a northern californian...i officially endorse this protest playfully peaceful! My name is a1ckb52 and i approve this message.

[–]Zap-Brannigan -1 points0 points ago

is that a hose I see down there?

[–]ImMeltingNow -1 points0 points ago

i bet it was more interesting to see the cow getting to the city

not really though

[–]Black_Wasp -1 points0 points ago

This is how they should do it in Syria

[–]gabora -1 points0 points ago

This should be a special move in a 2D fighting game à la Street Fighter

[–]Tier4 0 points1 point ago

this was awesome when it was on Digg 5 years ago

[–]rednaxx3 -1 points0 points ago

Ridiculously photogenic protester?

I was expecting whisky.

red: We really need a bovine intervention right now

[–]Mugros 0 points1 point ago

It's also "faked". But everyone can see the hose.

[–]panpata -1 points0 points ago

I know this guy. Dude is a hard-working farmer living near me in The Netherlands. I've known him for all my life but from now on I shall address him as "Sir". I will also drink my coffee black when I visit.

[–]Casca82 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like David Coulthard?

[–]Ozzertron -1 points0 points ago

My asshole friend does this while we're milking sometimes. It's naaaasssty.

[–]xapplin -1 points0 points ago

Expected alcohol. Was not disappointed.

[–]davideadie 1 point2 points ago

he looks like David Coulthard

[–]zoroya -1 points0 points ago

Is that Dale Earnhardt Jr.?

[–]Niklasas -1 points0 points ago

lol you can see the hose.

[–]MaxManus -1 points0 points ago

GOT MILK?

[–]gsohocki -1 points0 points ago

I think everyone is missing the point-its a bull.

[–]knightofmars -1 points0 points ago

Assault with a deadly weapon (Officers Public Safety Enforcers, could have drowned from the liquid!), sentence: 9 boots to the chest, 5 clubs to the face and 1 kick to the balls.

[–]My-taken_username -1 points0 points ago

I was expecting leprechauns

[–]madeyouangry -1 points0 points ago

Cow vs Pig... FIGHT!

[–]Tiberius666 0 points1 point ago

Nothing quite beats David Coulthard squirting milk from an udder onto a riot shield.

[–]Moefty 1 point2 points ago

That's Belgium not Ireland.

[–]munchmills 0 points1 point ago

The signs are written in german language.

[–]MrRicey -1 points0 points ago

They are certainly milking the situation.

[–]cptbil -1 points0 points ago

[–]bloomcicle 0 points1 point ago

probably one of the best uses for a cow ever

[–]Amerikhans -1 points0 points ago

BRAZZERS

[–]CarlosBoss -3 points-2 points ago

Awesome show clever use of a cow and a hose but still funny to see the riot police flinching like a bitch

[–]trigg73 0 points1 point ago

That cow's not squirting milk, It's squirting Bailey's.

[–]_SquirtsMacIntosh 1 point2 points ago

Did you ever drink Bailey's from a shoe?

[–]FunTimesInDreamland 0 points1 point ago

Mmm, creamy

[–]trigg73 -1 points0 points ago

Want to go to a club where people wee on each other?

[–]webzter 0 points1 point ago

That's udderly ridiculous.

[–]kraken_kitty 0 points1 point ago

Sometimes you have to take the bull by the horns. Not everything is black and white! You've got to get messy and make moo-steaks!

[–]webzter 0 points1 point ago

so in other words, no cow-ering.

[–]katieya 0 points1 point ago

They're milking it for all it's worth.

[–]fozzyboo1 -2 points-1 points ago

you just got milked motherfucker!

[–]Drunkisme -1 points0 points ago

Even the photographer's like "well I never".

[–]OzzerOfGashes -2 points-1 points ago

FUCK YOU I HAVE COW!!

[–]kraken_kitty -1 points0 points ago

Hear me moo?

[–]tiffas1121 -1 points0 points ago

Got milk?

[–]MidnightThunderboy 1 point2 points ago

I'm Irish. Everyone in this thread is awful.

[–]aclockinholland -5 points-4 points ago

Actually Unpasteurized milk can make you very sick. It can Contain E. coli and TB among other harmful bacteria.

[–]netraven5000 0 points1 point ago

I don't think you actually read that.

Yes, it can make you sick. But look at the ways the milk can get contaminated, and tell me they can't be avoided.

Also... Who said it couldn't?

[–]aclockinholland 0 points1 point ago

Do you mean where is says that even in hygienic conditions the milk can be contaminated during the milking. This can be caused by infection in the animal when symptoms are not present?

Edit: I wasn't claiming anyone said it was safe and was wrong. Just a fact for everyone talking about drinking it. And also that weaponized teets are a funny thought.

[–]Evagelos -5 points-4 points ago

For some reason I imagined the Irish protesting by abstaining from drink. Complete economic collapse...

[–]Kashmeer -1 points0 points ago

Well that's not Ireland for one and we are currently recovering (slowly) from near complete economic collapse.
