Am I allowed to be trolled by you, or is that off limits too?

I'm not sure what's going on here, but let's stop it please.

A quotes thread itself is ok, so if it's personal, don't do it here, otherwise I don't see a reasonable problem with it's existence.

It's a trollquote. It's fer silliness.

Laying out a rational, well reasoned argument to an average American is like wearing a condom while eating at Burger King - it's ineffectual and makes everyone present confused and lose their appetites. The kind of mind that looks at a can of Axe Bodyspray and thinks "Hmmm, that's not a bad idea," is completely immune to the powers of evidence and logic.

As far as I can tell, you take a quote, maybe mangle it a bit, and associate it with someone who didn't say the quote. The trolling can be subtle or obvious. A subtle example:

Well yeah, I get what's going on, but I don't see how it qualifies as funny at all.  "Hurrdurr, I misquoted someone.  Lulz."

Depends on how many layers there are in the thing. As an example, breaking mine into pieces:

-A quote from Siddhartha Gautama Buddha, one of the most prolific pacifist philosophers in the known history of ever;
-misattributed to Sun Tzu, a famous Chinese military general and author of the Art of War;
-shown with an image of Genghis Khan, a Mongolian invader and general who invaded and occupied the majority of China along with most of Central Asia.

All three are in a way direct antitheses from each other, but it might be a bit too subtle because people might think Sun Tzu actually said that (which would be plausible) or being unable to recognize the image (although it should be fairly recognizeable).

Not too subtle for someone who recognizes it.

The Gandalf/Yoda/Dumbledore one is really funny though.

Who'd have thought a history buff with a quirky sense of humor and a chalkboard could make for such riveting television? Glenn's like the high school government teacher so many wish they'd had, charting and connecting ideas with chalk-dusted fingers — kicking it old school — instead of becoming just another talking-heads show host. Self-taught, he's become America's professor of common sense, sharing earnestly sought knowledge with an audience hungry for truth.  -- Sara Palin on Jon Stewart.
