Good for Mike myers but this isn’t bold, this should be as common as ‘punching grandmas is bad’.

It’s true that that statement shouldn’t be considered bold. But unfortunately we Canadians are living above a country that is currently very pro-“punching grandmas” and is threatening to punch our grandmas. And some people in our country seem to also support this idea of “punching grandmas”.

"I think the orphan crushing machine should run on weekends too"

u/lordraiden007 1d ago
That's a little too extreme. It should at least be off on Sundays so it can go to church and spend time crushing people's spirits.

u/Trevski 1d ago
it is the lords day of rest, after all
Meanwhile the other party says "Well we think the orphan crushing machine workers should get a 4 day week!"

u/lordraiden007 1d ago
Don't give them too much credit, most of that party supports 4 10s instead of 5 8s. It's still 40 hours of orphan crushing, just a slightly different arrangement.
Both parties also implicitly support employers who commit wage theft via unpaid overtime, so those 4 10s really turn into 4 12s or even 4 14s.

What proof do you have that punching grandmas is bad? Humanity has a long and storied history of punching grandmas! How dare you claim something so imbedded into our nature is somehow wrong!
/s, hopefully obviously. Just trying to get into the headspace of the average right wing contrarian moron.

u/Sensitive_Ad_1752 1d ago
Sorry, I was already radicalized before I read the /s, I just punched like 10 grandmas

u/lordraiden007 1d ago
Damn, I guess I'm a little too effective... maybe with this newfound power I could become a right wing podcaster and make millions off of their stupidity and gullibility.

*Embedded gif from Mike Tyson Mysteries where Tyson runs up the escalator passed an old woman only to run back and punch her in the face. RIP Norm and Tyson is still a big PoS even if sometimes entertaining.

You woke people don't understand that your extremism is leading us centrists to punching grandmas!
1
u/lordraiden007 15h ago
Hey now, a true centrist would never do such a thing! With both sides being so extreme a true centrist would find a middle ground to compromise to. If one side is pro grandma punching, and the other side is anti grandma punching, a true centrist would stick to the dignified position of punching grandmas but saying sorry afterwards.

Absolutely! I regret having to punch grandmas, but when one side is cruelly punching grandmas, and the other is tyrannically trying to curtail their freedom to punch grandmas, I must stand on the side of individual freedoms and punch grandmas as a protest! I apologize afterwards, of course, and tell them the radical left made me do it.
Also, I avoid punching caucasian grandmas, because something in my brain tells me that wouldn't be right.

A lot of things shouldn’t be seen as “bold” but rather as the norm. Yet here we are.

Inb4 they demand the CEO of antifa to answer before Congress, that is if they’re ever not in recess.

But good on him all the same. The world is in a dodgy state.

I wish I knew where the “he is one of the most hated actors in Hollywood to work with” rumor came from He seems like a pretty chill guy.

u/lanceturley 1d ago
I know he has a reputation for being a perfectionist with his work. Which is something people are willing to put up with when you're creating pop culture icons like Austin Powers and playing Shrek, but not so much when you write and star in The Love Guru.
6
u/Vizekonig4765 1d ago
That’s the thing… I think the love guru flop is what killed his career, not being a super massive asshole. But who knows.
6
u/lanceturley 1d ago
That's what I'm saying, though. People will work with an asshole if they're making money, but not if his big comeback passion project bombs like The Love Guru did. There was also the whole thing with Universal where they paid him a shitload of money to do a Sprockets movie and he backed out because he didn't like the script, which is why he had to do The Cat in the Hat to get out of his contract. And of course that was another failure.

u/Secret_Hyena9680 18h ago
I think he made the Love Guru pretty much after everyone decided to stop working with him. I read somewhere it was made with his buddies and Timberlake was the only one that would star.
When it flopped, Hollywood really brought the knives out for him.

One of our best Canadians!
Impeach Trump and remove all who supported him from office.

A t-shirt. Such a bold statement.

u/Gooch222 1d ago
The problem isn’t him wearing the shirt. The problem is a political climate in which it’s considered newsworthy and “bold.”

Mike wearing his “Elbows Up” shirts and protesting on SNL referencing Gordie Howe helped kick off the Canadian boycott movement. It’s silly but that’s how nationalism works.
Edit: https://youtu.be/Qj9JGDHPhV4
The Moment “Elbows Up” Became a Rallying Cry Against Trump
When a national treasure wears a protest shirt, the media reports on it, and the public reacts.

u/Few_Personality_990 1d ago
Most Americans are simply watching their government protect rapists, destroy the environment, steal their retirement, murder their people... A T-shirt is indeed a bold statement when measured against the inaction of the most apathetic populace on Earth

Be evil, but have my feelings too. Change my life with Oprah and Maya Angelou.

This just in! A celebrity arrives with the most luke warm take in history. This just in! A celebrity did the bare minimum when it comes to ethics! Why is this a headline? It should be the stance of every person on the planet.

It's not bold to hold a sensible stance, however I do appreciate any celebrities who speak out. Too many are trying to stay apolitical in a time where not speaking says volumes.

So does this mean we are supposed to forget about all the teenagers that Mike Myers has killed? Justice for Lorrie.

I was going to wear my “Fight Democracy” shirt again today, but Mike Myers’ bold message changed my mind.
Thanks Mike, from a fellow hoser!

He’s so BOLD.
Canadian who wears shirts is super BOLD.

u/Suicidal-Ideation13 1d ago
I mean, it's silly in this case, but it's not that inconceivable. It's just a medium; if speech can be bold at all, so can a shirt with that speech.

Wears a shirt. What a hero. Give me a break. This is coming from a Canadian BTW. Kick rocks Mikey eh.

Yikes. So performative! Can he even define what facism is? Why doesn’t he give up his millions to fight the power? These rich people suck.
