Santorum wants C.U..... no, I can't even finish the joke

[Upchurch]

A.) It's funny. B.) It's funny that someone running a national campaign is so clueless.

It's just got funny written all over it.

C) It's funny if you had just barely managed to overcome your "Google problem" association with the byproduct of one sexual act to then turn around and associate yourself with the another byproduct of a sexual act.

Santorum is a douchebag. He can't be that much of a douchebag and then pretend to take the high road when he makes a gaffe like that. (Well, I suppose he could, but that doesn't make him impervious to a well deserved mocking.)

We can see the humor, just that it's twelve-year-old humor.

And campaigns really should run their names by twelve year olds. Also see last election cycles "mitt mitt full of grit" slogan.

A) It's funny, but it's not that funny (unless you're twelve years old). B) Clueless, or perhaps just not particularly into porn jargon and fapkin slang?

A.) It's funny. I didn't say I was spiting on my screen and howling with laughter. I just said it was funny and it is. B.) Clueless.

Behold! Rick Santorum's Conservatives Unite Moneybomb

Jizz a little thing I found amusing.

Wow!

That is really funny, but it is hardly surprising considering how long it took several weeks for the "Tea Bag Party" to become the "Tea Party". Also, I noticed that it also took several weeks for quite a few of the so called intelligent Conservatives to pick up on the fact that Stephen Colbert is actually mocking these people as opposed to supporting these people.

The reality is, that these people are often quite stupid even though they believe just the opposite about themselves.

"Teabaggers C.U.M. stirs up Santorum!"

Childish? Certainly. Funny? Of course!

 

[Upchurch]

Ya know, I'm giving him some grief, but you have to admit: Santorum has a lot of spunk.

Behold! Rick Santorum's Conservatives Unite Moneybomb

Jizz a little thing I found amusing.

Funny thing is, if Paul would have Santorums family name, the Media would mention it all day long.

 

[Tricky]

"Quick, Joe! We better rethink that acronym! Somewhere a twelve-year-old is tittering!"

You probably never eve crack a smile at "Damn You, Autocorrect". I find that sad.

 

[Olowkow]

They most likely really meant to name the site:

Santorum's Conservatives Unite Moneybomb baggers.

This thread got me thinking about that old song called Relax by the group Frankie Goes to Hollywood since they lyrics are rather appropriate here:

Relax! Don't do it!
When you want to go to it!
Relax! Don't do it!
When you want to come!
...

Even worse when you know what the word Santorum means.

But it wasn't a "gaffe"; perhaps the name was never intended to be acronym'ed. This is almost as puerile as the complaint that London's Olympic logo resembles Simpsons characters engaged in a sex act, when the logo is turned sideways and looked at while drunk or whatever.

After looking it up ... some people perverts just have too much time on their hands.

I'm sure it wasn't, but that doesn't prevent it from being a gaffe.

I would hate to think why anyone would intentionally make "a social or diplomatic blunder" or "a noticeable mistake". (Although, I suppose an intentional mistake is no mistake at all.)

I thought of a song by Bad Brains, especially since this is all about money.

First of all, let's not pretend the word in question is some obscure reference only deviants would know. It's a fairly common slang term.

Secondly, it's not funny because of the word itself. It's funny because of what it says about Santorum: That he's a sexually-repressed, clueless weirdo out of touch with mainstream culture.

 

[Biscuit]

To be more accurate he is a great white whooping douche. You can tell by their sanctimonious mating calls and sweater vest plumage. This time of year they should be gathering in the midwest to participate in habitual bible thumping but it appears the whooping douche labeled "Santorum" lost his way in a storm of self righteousness and self aggrandizement and found himself in the deep south. They don't tend to survive for long outside of their sheltered native lands.

 

[RandFan]

I love this thread.

I think Crossbow has a point Let's all relax.

Exactly. The juvenile humor itself is only slightly funny. What's really funny (and sad) is that Santorum just can't seem to stop embarrassing himself in ways that invite juvenile humor. If any other candidate had done this, it would have gone unnoticed. But due to the unique position Rick has established for himself*, he absolutely needs to have someone on his staff whose sole job is to check every single piece of planned verbiage produced by the campaign, and look for potential "alternate" meanings that Rick and his merry band of of sexually repressed, middle-aged evangelicals are too clueless to notice, but that every twelve year old in the country would LOL at -- and therefore, that his detractors can use to further make him look like an idiot.

The fact that he's apparently too clueless to recognize this need is yet another way in which he's unfit to be President.
