I feel as if there might be symbolism to this picture, but my mind just can't comprehend it.

[–]Hegs94 10 points11 points ago

I was searching for the symbolism, but couldn't find any. Then I realized, there is none!

[–]diodeforjustice 7 points8 points ago

There is no symbolism in the picture, but it consists of recognizable symbols. The most notable of which are the characters from Spongebob Squarepants, the teddy bears (named after Theodore Roosevelt), and the world trade center. The message is in the fact that, go fuck yourself, there are symbols but no symbolic meaning.

Read my comment, I said symbolism, not symbols.

[–]2by2handsofblue 1 point2 points ago

Read his/her comment. S/he also said symbolism, then pointed out - right in the first sentence - that there is a difference between symbolism and symbols. I'm also assuming that the "go fuck yourself" was meant more in the spirit of "Why? Because FUCK YOU, that's why," than a personal attack.

That has nothing to do with it. I made no mention of there not being symbols, so why did he take the time to tell me there was?

[–]2by2handsofblue 0 points1 point ago

You're getting too defensive about it. If you're going to talk about symbolism, it's pretty much a given that the symbols themselves are going to come into play.

I've seen this before. In the comments it said that the Spongebob/Sandy picture was drawn SEPARATELY on a piece of notebook paper and someone photoshopped the 9/11 stuff in. It makes no sense at all.

Original

Personally, I found the original just as disturbing.

[–]purplepeach 0 points1 point ago

I don't disagree but the one that OP posted makes no sense. I don't think that 9/11 was a mistake, pretty sure they did that on purpose, and I can't think of anything I would qualify as a miracle.

My mind reels from the assault perpetuated by this confusing amalgamation of pop-culture and national tragedy.

I think giving birth to a sponge would be the most awesome birth ever.

[–]MotamaPT 8 points9 points ago

Would your water still break? Or would your baby just soak it up or would you just clean it up with your offspring after the birth?

Every once in a while I see a post in WTF that actually makes me say "What the fuck?" I like that....

Wow, how is everyone missing the message here? This is simply brilliant.

Please tell us the message because I'm completely lost on this one

Whether you notice sandy being pregnant first, or the twin towers.

[–]Terror_Baron 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I thought somehow Sandy being pregnant caused 9/11...

[–]bluebaron 1 point2 points ago

This is a repost. However, it is still beyond strange.

[–]knocklessmonster 1 point2 points ago

That's going to be one absorbent squirrel baby.

[–]IHAILSATAN 1 point2 points ago

Wait.... If they're walking on land, then Sandy wouldn't need the helmet, & Spongebob would need one filled with Water?

I think this was the first thing I ever saw on r/WTF. Needless to say, I upvote it every time it appears. It's just too special.
