Why right in the childhood???

[–]calyxa -1 points0 points ago

well, it's not in good taste.

[–]WeaponsGradeHumanity -1 points0 points ago

It's not in bad enough taste if you ask me.

[–]wayndom 1 point2 points ago

Wrong question. The correct question is, "Is this poorly edited photo funny?"

And the answer is yes.

[–]thane321 0 points1 point ago

i remember that book, it was so awesome. same can't be said for the new face of it.

[–]willief 0 points1 point ago

Whomever assembled this clearly isn't familiar with temple garments.

[–]billitch18[S] 1 point2 points ago

'Tis a joke.

[–]jjg_denis_robert 0 points1 point ago

They're not "temple garments". If they were, they would only be worn in the temple. They are Magic Underwear, with magic symbols (stolen from Free Masonry without any understanding of their meaning). It's sympathetic magic of the most basic kind, no different than wearing a rabbit's foot for good luck, or ultra-orthodox Jews thinking that wearing the prayer shawl under their clothing makes them "righteous" (as opposed to, say, not being a dick).

[–]Cheddercheese 0 points1 point ago

Nope, if it's a true fact about a politician, by all means, make fun of the shit out of it (is that the correct phrasing?)

[–]WeaponsGradeHumanity 0 points1 point ago

It would work better if you said "mock the shit out of it".

[–]ReyTheRed 0 points1 point ago

It is in excellent taste.

[–]xana452 0 points1 point ago

Not at all.

[–]BdrLen 0 points1 point ago

Extremely bad taste. That is one of the main reasons it is funny.

[–]jjg_denis_robert 0 points1 point ago

The magic underwear in this picture don't have the mandatory masonic symbols (that mormons will insist are not masonic...).

Plus, his nipples should be covered, too.
