    No one seems to have mentioned this, but that middle one on the bottom line is about the Columbine massacre, perhaps being the reason that line was removed.

  2. LionsPhil says:

    Hurrah! Wondered what the full-length version of this had in it.

  3. Mil says:

    I don’t get it. Why is the blob with the star of David more censorship-worthy than all the other ones?

  4. matte_k says:

    Still love the Kerouac one most- every time i see the graffitti stencil of Kerouac someone’s placed by my house I think of that line…

  5. MeestaNob! says:

    Genuinely brilliant.

    I could actually hear the sound effects in my head as read these, hilarious!!!

  6. Vanderdecken says:

    @MeestaNob!: Stalin is dominating kulax… dadada DA-da!

  7. Andrew says:

    I really like this, an excellent one I must admit. I hope to see new ones once this run is over, it utterly is brilliant (even if I don’t comment on each one :) ).

  8. Andrew says:

    Also; any chance of a few of the best (or all?) being put up in wallpaper-sized versions? This one would go great on a desktop, as would several others. :D I don’t think the current resolution does it justice on a 1680×1050 screen, it’s so tiny :(

  9. Gorgeras says:

    Optimiaxmimal.

    No, it was quite deliberate. Some sod climbed up with a cloaked nanosuit and threw him off. I’m sure he thought it was hilarious. My grandfather is now remembered as a pioneer of ‘ragdoll physics victims’.

  10. Bonedancer says:

    That was just beautiful.

  11. Powerhaus says:

    Best strafe left. Evar. Love the wolf3d reference

  12. Fumarole says:

    Definitely an excellent Strafe Left.

    @ CrashT

    That would be Vault Boy.

  13. WhistleHeat says:

    der Fuhrer *pistol*

    Pure comedy gold.

  14. Krupo says:

    I’ll admit it.

    I’m geek enough to tell Tim I would pay good money (concert t-shirt money) for a t-shirt with this on it. :)

    I love how the “holocaust” one was too offensive, yet Stalin’s mass-murdering of the kulaks apparently isn’t.
