Apparently they forgot what The Simpsons taught us many years ago about the entire steel industry.

As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

I’d love to encounter a bunch of Tuckerphiles bronzing their balls together in bromeopathic fashion! Can you think of a better opportunity to reduce the dickhead population just a little bit. :mrgreen:

Has Randy Rainbow not done a parody about this using Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' -- but substituting the obvious pieces of anatomy -- yet? Because it would only take a shiny penny to cast that shadow. Hell, a button.

Shhh. Don't dissuade them. This sterilization behavior among Trumpers is to be encouraged.

That reminded me of the Viz (a british rude comic book) character "Buster Gonad and his unfeasibly large Testicles."

In a favour for the sensitive I'm not posting a pic, but lets just say he needs a wheelbarrow.

Snopes spoiling everyone's fun.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/tucke ... nd-of-men/
One widely shared clip, posted by Nikki McCann Rodriguez from the progressive Media Matters for America, contained slow-motion footage of muscular and shirtless men wrestling, working out and chopping wood, and an almost naked man who appeared to be tanning his genitals. The trailer culminated with a caption that read “Tucker Carlson Originals presents: ‘The End of Men.'”

Social media users, primarily those ideologically opposed to Carlson, mocked the clip, describing it as homoerotic, while others questioned whether it was authentic or a parody. The clip was entirely authentic, but it was taken from a longer trailer published by Tucker on April 15, to promote the second season of his Fox News feature series “Tucker Carlson Presents.”

It did give a slightly reductive and over-simplified impression of the trailer, which was more than twice as long, and contained more context than was shown in the clip. The trailer did contain what many observers might regard as an inordinate quotient of half-dressed, muscular men, but that’s not all it contained. As a result, we are issuing a rating of “Mostly True.”

The full two-minute, 13-second trailer can be viewed on Carlson’s official Vimeo channel and was posted to his own website on April 15:

Although the clip shared widely on Twitter did come from the authentic trailer, it contained less than half the footage of the original, and did slightly misrepresent the original, which contained expository framing and context, while the viral clip consisted almost entirely of muscular men displaying their physical prowess.

In order to demonstrate this discrepancy, and in the interests of thoroughness, the following is a lightly annotated transcript of the trailer:



Archive footage of President John F. Kennedy: I welcome this opportunity to speak to the people of America about a subject which I believe to be most important, and that is the subject of physical fitness.
Caption: IN AGES PAST / A CYCLE BEGAN / HARD TIMES / MADE STRONG MEN / STRONG MEN / MADE GOOD TIMES
Kennedy: A country is as strong, really, as its citizens, and I think that mental and physical health go hand in hand
Caption: GOOD TIMES / MADE WEAK MEN
Kennedy: There is nothing, I think, more unfortunate, than to have soft, chubby, fat-looking children. I hope that all of you will join, and everybody in the United States make sure that our children participate fully in a vigorous and adventurous life —
Caption: WEAK MEN / MADE HARD TIMES
Kennedy: — which is possible for them in this very rich country of ours.
Unnamed voiceover: There’s been a 50 percent decline in sperm counts in the last 40 years, along with a precipitous decline in testosterone production. We’re headed for a calamity. And that’s not hyperbole, it’s not exaggeration, it’s just a mathematical fact.
Off-screen reporter asks Dr. Paul Turek: Would you recommend young men to tan their balls?
Turek: To what?

[CLIP SHARED ON TWITTER BEGINS]

Caption: IN THE CURRENT YEAR / THE CYCLE CONTINUES
[Footage of an almost naked man who appears to be tanning his genitals]
Unnamed voiceover: Once a society collapses then, you’re in hard times. Well, “iron sharpens iron,” as they say. And those hard times inevitably produce men who are tough, men who are resourceful, men who are strong enough to survive. Then they go on to re-establish order, and so the cycle begins again.

Yeah, I mean, I guess. I don't think the context helps that much with the weirdness though.

Judge for yourself, the full video.

Oh I agree, still weird. But I at least was under the impression that was the whole ad for Tuckers Programme. The fact that it was edited makes a lot of sense as it makes the whole thing seem less like random nonsense that no-one coherent would dream up. It removed the "why do they think this would persuade anyone to watch?" and "What exactly is this about?"

Plus you have to ask why the hell the editor decided just to present those parts. Tucker isn't the only one with an agenda, and one can throw Poxes at both houses to remain sane.

I will leave you with this absolutely hysterical response from Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who appears as baffled as this writer: “This is actually real. Evidently, he likes men without shirts, which may explain the Putin obsession.”

Hey I have no idea. I was just passing on the opinion of a Republican: That he likes shirtless men, presumably engaged in various wrestling or outdoor pursuits. And Microwaved Meatballs.

NYT put together a video for us about Carlson's tv hate fests.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/202 ... 48368741aa

Night after night, the host of the most watched show in prime time cable uses to a simple narrative to instill fear in his viewers: "They want to control and then destroy you."
