No no, you misunderstand. these are gorgeous. I'm talking about modern SF covers (I'm looking at YOU IN PARTICULAR, USA)

Aaaah, remember when SF covers weren't hideously fucking embarrassinbg?

Pretty sure they live under my fridge.

There's a reason for that.

And then nothing. Your risible piece of false equivalence nonsense doesn't deserve anything but facetious responses.

When I'm feeling generous, yeah.

I'm not sure, I think I just got pthalate poisoning from that pic. And quite possibly toothache.

They were too busy laughing at the 80s.

*Sips tea, looks down nose at Filthy Colonials*

The daft bugger who drives round at highway speeds with huge flags hanging off the back of his inherently unstable vehicle on the open road, you mean?

Parade, okay, if you like that kind of thing, but that's a hazard to other road users IMO. You'd get nicked quick-sharp for pootling around with a Union Jack & a St George flag hanging off the back of your Triumph (yes, I know that's a Hardly-Driveable, I am specifying a bike that matches the flags, ok?) on the open…

Jesus fuck, but that is a useful .GIF. It has been saved for future use. Thank you.

Yup, absolutely. The Black & White Minstrel Show was still a staple on prime time TV a few years earlier in my childhood here in the UK in the 70s. It's not like it was even long ago that this shit was considered ok, and I can't see a problem with pointing out that it's fucking well not ok in our kid's lessons.

Even by the Gawker empire's standards, the jerks you get trolling here are a breed apart. Fucker needs a good clip round the ear off his mammy.

Somebody here uses unpleasant slurs to complain about someone poking fun at their favourite author.

Oh, I LIKE that one.

I dunno, throughout the tensions of the Cold War, one strong point of international solidarity was the astronauts. Long may that continue as a lesson to us all. Plus, Soyuz is without doubt a fucking incredible piece of technology, which should be lauded as long as there are humans to do so for the sterling work it…

Such a little cutie, the RX2.

The piece de resistance of Terror Tractor is that splendidly Scandinavian typeface.

I'm a man, and my daughter came home the other day with a black eye because some horrible, rapey fucker tried to drag her down a fucking alley. so yes, you are right. Enough men.
