TOUCHDOWN FOR DEMOCRACY!

Earlier this week, I did an update critiquing poor children who attempted to draw pictures on the subject of divorce. Obviously children are incapable of possessing talent, so their pictures ended up looking awful. What you don't know is that I had originally thought about doing a critique of something even less funny. By "less funny" I mean less tasteful. Yes, making fun of the poor children of divorce wasn't low enough for me. Of course my idea would never be acceptable on the front page, so I am now bringing it here, where standards are left at the door!

My target was going to be the FEMA for Kids site. For those of you who aren't American (and you know who you are!), FEMA is America's Federal Emergency Management Agency. That basically means they are the agency in charge of our nation's vast array of tornado warning sirens. Their website happens to feature a gallery of drawings by dastardly children responding to the even more dastardly September 11th terrorist attacks.

Quite frankly, these drawings were both poorly made and downright scary. I've taken the time to give you my take on a few of the drawings. Yes, I know this is cruel and unsavory, but I'm a cruel and unsavory character. I'm like Lex Luther, only I'm poor and I drive a Ford Tempo.

FEMA for Kids – WTC Attack Gallery
Image #1


This picture presents a chilling alternate theory to the September 11th attacks. You will clearly notice that the first tower seems to be exploding prior to the actual impact with the plane! This means that there could easily have been a bomb placed in either one or both of the towers. Let's take a closer look at this scene just to make sure:

Obviously, the explosion occurred prior to the impact. Did the terrorist hijackers aboard the plane know about the explosives planted in the building? Or is this one horrifying coincidence?


The artist also chose to include a fairy phoenix rising above the towers, perhaps affirming his belief that a higher power somehow ordained this. Clearly, the creator of this horrible image is truly disturbed in his political beliefs and ideals.


At the base of the towers stand six individuals serving as witnesses to the absolute carnage. Who are these chilling observers and why do they seem so calm? They watch on in relative peace, almost as if they welcome the tragedy. Again, another subtle addation that affirms the artist's sick beliefs.

Image #2

This picture borders on being a surrealist interpretation of the tragedy. The overall pandemonium depicted seems almost apocalyptic in nature. This scene could easily have been lifted straight from the Bible.

Here we see two giants climbing the mighty towers. What's interesting is that they need not even grasp the building, but instead seem to cling to the sides with little surface contact. They seem unconcerned, as they wave to the crowd. Another possibility is that they are giving the infamous Nazi salute, but that's just speculation. It should be noted that both of these individuals are scaling the building prior to the actual impact with the planes. In fact, much of this chaos is occurring as the first plane strikes.


The plane, which seems to be symbolized by the male member, or perhaps a link of sausage, has the word "Hi" written on the front of the plane. You can see what looks to be "jac" written on the very end of the plane. This seems to indicate that the plane is "hijaced" by terrorists. But when would the terrorist have had time to add these markings to the plane? Wouldn't it have been more practical to leave them off, as to blend in with regular air traffic? Clearly, the terrorist weren't quite as clever as we give them credit for. In the rear window of the plane, you can see a human being with "X's" for eyes. This either suggests that the person is dead, or that there is a bit of numerology involved. X is equivalent to ten in Roman numerals, placing the value of 20 on this person's face. What could this mean? It means I need to change my pants, because that's some scary shit.


The final and most chilling component of this image is this scene in which two children dance around a prophet-like character standing in the streets. As you can clearly see, the purple-clad prophet has three eyes! Obviously this prophet is seeing opportunity through her third eye. The children celebrate this evil false prophet with glee, as the world falls apart around them! Indeed, a harrowing look at end times.

Let this show all of you, children are some messed up people!

John Dillinger is my motherfucking idol.

This critique was very informative, even more ammo for the case of why small children shouldn't be given crayons. Their hands are tiny, aren't they capable of intricate stitching? Schools are always complaining about the lack of money to go around. Now if they would hook themselves up with a business like Tommy Hilfiger or Nike, they could convert the classroom to a sweatshop facility, reaping in the profits from having these children slave the day away making the garmets their parents would in turn buy them. It's a vicous cycle of school funding, and I'm for it!

Funny stuff. But, I must say the front page article was better. Just the idea of concentrating on explaining how bad at drawing 5 year olds are is funny.

I was really impressed at the comedy value of that update, BTW.

I was walking through the mall a couple of months ago when I happened upon some drawings similar to these of the WTC center disaster set up in a store window. One of them depicted a fireman on a ladder that scaled the entire height of the first tower, with a fireman at the top putting out the fire. My instant reaction to this was to burst out laughing. Apparently other passer byers in the mall in fact didn't find the proportional inaccuracy of the young man's drawing hillarious.

Wow. That's amazing.
These kids obviouisly know something we don't.
Such as new designs for planes that will fly around in circles (see wing position of picture 2) and VTOL birds.
WELCOME TO THE FUTURE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

EDIT - I love the

...on the blue plane.
It's like the terrorists have mastered Red Alert 2 mind control tehniques....

My only redeeming quality is my constant anger toward the U.N.

Get these kids to do the memorial to the WTC, and all will be well again.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar

Do they do this as some sort of therapeutic purpose for the kids? Is there some reason behind doing this?

I don't remember having to draw challenger pictures or anything...

Anyways, this is disturbing, but isn't it a bit too easy? I mean, picking on the art of children hardly seems difficult...

Either way, good job I guess.

i think that's the gist of it... they want the kids to recognize and understand the event, and express oppinions/feelings on the subject. my 3rd grade class drew a big banner/mural for desert storm.

The ironic thing is that most older kids and adults would just draw something very unorigional.

When kids don't know what things are supposed to look like they draw what they feel.

Horrible Killer of Threads

The first set is obviously Palestinian disinformation:



This is quite transparent: those are Jews in their yarmulkes and fuzzy hats, running away from the tower after setting off the explosives in anticipation of the harmless hijacked airplanes!

Not showing it as an image because I'm not a bandwidth theif. Notice two things here, the cross is upside down, and it took these people 2 days to get into hell.

Edit: Some people may think I'm trying to be funny, I'm not, I'm just pointing out these two things.

Beautiful as usual. You are an inspiration to us all. And if you ever decide to pursue your dream of becoming a pro wrestler, I know my money's on Microsoft. Because they produce superior software. And that ain't no lie either. A 5 for this thread. Beautiful.
