You bastard. You bastard bastard bastard!!! I’ve successfully avoided that image for going on 4 years since the last eye-socket burning instance… but you just had to have an enormous clicky whitespace to the right of the image just to catch those of us who missed the “The GPL according to…” link!!!! DAMNIT!!!

I think the commentary is funnier than the strip itself. “This strip may contain a gaping anus”. You don’t remember! Think hard. I’m John! Did I put a distended asshole in my comic strip?

What is “anucular”?

>>“The problem isn’t so much that it’s offensive, as that it’s not >>funny.”

>>It *was* an outtake. I took it out of Wednesday’s strip because it >>wasn’t funny. (though Wednesday’s strip was still a cheap strip, sorry >>:)

So why put it in now? It just isn’t funny. The anti-consumerism jab is not especially funny or clever either (and no, I don’t own an iPod; I rather agree with the sentiment, I just don’t think it’s funny). The whole point of “publishing” something is that you get to edit out the stuff that’s sub-par.

Yawn. This strip would have ammused me too, if I had written it as a three-year-old.

If you want to experiment with something that approaches real censorship, I suggest you have the GNU blown by Mohammed in the next strip, then send the URL to applications@al-qaeda.us. Have fun!

a) I never quite understood this whole “goatse” thing. Humans are weird when it comes to forming “cults”.

b) I like the “balls dongle” for the iPod

c) You’ve come up with a great compromise (I’m glad you haven’t censored it completely, I try not to check your feed every week, so that I have more than one new one to look at)

d) The only thing one can bitch about, is the lack of a “not-work-safe” reference in the title, but hey, what do I know (workplace? what is that?)

e) Keep up the good work. I sometimes get impatient with the lack of publications though. Whinge, whinge, whine, hey, I had to join the corus :LOL:

A friend of mine shutted Jabber in my face after passing the link, some second ago…

BTW I warned him first, being the kind person I am, but he love Ipod so much he don’t make it…

John, don’t bother explaining yourself. I doubt they even got the anti-consumerism joke.

I mean, if they really wanted to argue intelligent points, you’d think they should start with pointing out the out-take didn’t have anything to do with ESR!?! But nooo, let’s all get offended by the sick humor on what is already a generally sick cartoon.

Bah humbug! :-D

orasio: By not expecting something like goatse on eler you make one incorrect assumption: that I make this strip to safely amuse you.

The reality of it is that I make this strip to amuse myself.

And boy am I amused.

I preferred ELER when it simply went dead for a few weeks when it had nothing good to offer – goatse reproductions definately aren’t cool. :(
