I'm offended by the whole discussion about comparison with kids that have downs syndrome, if you can't make jokes about it, there is something wrong with how you deal with it.. I've worked with kids that have Down's syndrome and have a a family member with it aswell.. yet i think it is funny and i'm not offended by the picture, i think it's rather cute. Yes i do know php, in fact i'm unfortunatly one of those that have to code php for money, it sucks, and i do think php is a bit retarded. I am however offended by people that are not able to cope with jokes about people with downs syndrome, if you consider them equal then you must be able to joke about them just as you would with anyone else. I'm furthermore abbhorred with the fact that the same pointless message was reposted. (and yes Trisomie 21 is an alternative name for it, but it not as well used in the english lagnuage)
It's not the fact that they used a kid with Down's Syndrome. It's the point they're making with him (PHP is retarded and stupid). Can you not see that this is very offensive? I can.
What's forth picture ?
ReplyDeleteApparently it's the Unabomber.
ReplyDeleteThe Lisp Reddit comments have some more explanations.
Awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe PHP kid seems to have Trisomy 23. I think that's pretty offensive.
ReplyDeleteTrisomy 21 I think, and yeah, I agree.
ReplyDeleteSo ASP.NET is a whore? :)
ReplyDeleteforth picture = the Unibomber
ReplyDeleteThe other (original?)thing, "How Programming Language Fanboys See Each Others’ Languages" was funnier IMHO: http://i.imgur.com/pG3q7.jpg.
ReplyDeleteNah. This one is much funnier and consistent. :-) Except for the PHP bit.
ReplyDeleteWTF is that shit?
ReplyDeletethis made me laugh out loud!
ReplyDeleteWhoever created this doesn't know the difference between a framework and a language.
ReplyDeleteWell, I thought his response to that was pretty funny:
ReplyDeleteOkay. Asp.net isn't a programming language. Whatever. Why would a Lisp programmer know that? :)
The FORTH picture is D.B.Cooper, the skyjacker the never caught who got away with all that money.
ReplyDeleteWhere are all the women?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't the Python one depict a young Janine Turner?
ReplyDeleteGary Glitter?
ReplyDeletehaha, the javascript kid is awesome :))
ReplyDeleteThe down syndrome kid is seriously offensive.
ReplyDeleteThat is mean to compare a retarded kid to php. Retarded kids are still loveable
ReplyDeleteI like Java, I love C++, I am mystified by LISP, I had my phase with Perl.
ReplyDeleteUsed to love PHP. I was sick and can openly admit that now.
Down-syndrome PHP would also explain the Wordpress source code where everything is a global variable.
