I would pay five bucks for a box of Klaus Kinski Froot Loops.
Oh wait, they're probably more than that already.

"Down For The Count" by Christopher Hitchens
I loved that Christopher Hitchens essay that showed the supposedly benign Count Chocula for the cruel, morally bankrupt tyrant he really is.

Brilliant
This comic is the most brilliant Tom the Dancing Bug I have ever seen.
Absolutely hilarious.
-
intellectual . . .
but funny! (and stays crispy in milk!)
-
if you think that's funny...
Be sure to watch the on-line ad for the fancy butt-washing contraption. Just click on the row of smiley bottoms.

Danke Ruben
I too know the cruel sting of weltschmertze and the ameliorative properties that only Die Loops Von Froot can bring when the tit of mother happiness has run dry.

Who are those people and what do them big words mean?
I have no idea of the difference between a deontologist and a consequentialist, but I love it anyway.

Whoa...
Okay, that was seriously weird in a good way. I love esoteric humor - so odd I had to think about it for more than a bit.

Consequentialism v. Deontonlogy
From Wiki:
Consequentialism refers to those moral theories which hold that the consequences of a particular action form the basis for any valid moral judgment about that action. Thus, on a consequentialist account, a morally right action is an action which produces good consequences.
Consequentialism is usually understood as distinct from both deontology, which derives the rightness or wrongness of an act from the nature of the act itself.
I wish I was as smart and funny as Ruben Bolling.

Loved it
Thank you thank you thank you for the Immanuel Kant joke.

Cereal Killer
The Klaus Kinski panel was inspired, but the Kant panel was brilliant. Well done, old mole!
-
It tickles my pseudo-intellectual funny bone!
And reminiscent of an old, often-cited favorite, "Breakfast Theory" by Jeff Reid, visible here:

Alles ist verloren
Very funny stuff. Even funny comics rarely make me chuckle aloud, but this one had my cubicle neighbors looking at me curiously.
-
but the post-structuralist in me loves the frosted side!
Tom the Dancing Bug is probably the biggest reason I got a subscription.

Cereal killer for a Killer Sereal
Tom the Dancing Bug is probably the smartest comic since the Far Side.

Anyone else notice
that Martin Amis looks like Charlie, the little Neanderthal guy, except clean-shaven?
Kids, Eat non-sugar-coated Pebbles, with 100% real rocks!

Deontology
...is the understanding of moral theory based around the concept of duty. Thus, any given act will have a deontic status (permissible, forbidden, obligatory) depending on what duties are outlined by the theory. For Kant, the primary duty of all human beings was to treat other human beings as 'ends in themselves'.

Dancing Bug, Ach Du!
A 10.0 on the Kinski-meter.
