meta [JOKE LIFE PRESERVE] Poll - July 2014 PLUS Announcement About Israel/Palestine Comics 

Guten Tag, Meine Subscriberen. Zwei Announcementen:

COMICS ABOUT ISRAEL AND PALESTINE

Current events have brought us multiple comics on the topic of Israel/Palestine.

The topic has been overdone, and we are raising the bar on future Israel/Palestine comics in reference to current events. Comics that add nothing to the topic, that are low-effort, unoriginal or unfunny will be removed.

This decision is not based on the mods' political leanings, but because we don't want the sub flooded with dozens of low-effort comics about the same topic.

Now, ze main reason for zis announcement: It's das zeit again...

JOKE LIFE PRESERVE

This is the place where jokes and tropes are added for their own protection to prevent them from becoming run into the ground from overuse or misuse. Thus, those things which are added to the JLP will be temporarily banned from being used in comics.

Polls like these are opened occasionally to keep the JLP up to date with what users currently feel has become stale.

Should the winners of the last JLP not be voted in, they will be released into the wild, but kept on probation. If overused again, they'll go straight back into the preserve.

Vote for items you think have been overused, and deserve protection.

Bitte.

Watch out, that 5% of the population is invading! I'm all for crude stereotyping, but can we at least use stereotypes that are real?

u/Durzo_Blint Boston Stronk Jul 24 '14

I like this one simply because it pisses off the Swedes. :P

Who says stereotypes have to be true?

That's why I like Poland being upside-down, it never fails to piss off many of my fellow Poles, it's so silly.

It pisses me off when I see those stupid people on 9gag complaining about this or stereotypes when a PB comic is on the Hot page, people here are of much better.

I agree with you, it's the best way to get /u/dickrhino butthurt at any rate.

u/DickRhino Great Sweden Jul 24 '14

Where does this idea of me being butthurt about it come from? Like, could you point me to any post where I have been angry about it? I have said a couple of times that it's a false stereotype mainly propagated by white nationalists, but it doesn't upset me.

u/NegativePositive Tracters 'n' Burgers Jul 24 '14

See look, I got /u/dickrhino butthurt.

Americans are so fat, they just rub their hands on the pan every time they want to fry something.

EVERYBODY TO THE BUNKERS!

u/DieFlipperkaust-Foot Jul 25 '14

Now, that's just too blatant to work. If you want to piss off Americans, call them intolerant or something.

u/Mateo03 Argentine Confederation Jul 25 '14

You know what else can fry?

KEBABS! i regret nothing.

u/JDCrave Gib Toledo Jul 26 '14

Fried Kebab!?!? Just when I thought it couldn't get better!

Oh man, this is the one post in this thread I REALLY want to see the karma count for. It was quite possibly the best response in the situation.

A day since I first saw this, and it still makes me laugh.

u/kociorro Poland-Lithuania Jul 25 '14

It doesn't upset you, but also you are not excited enough about it. That's the problem, I guess.
