  • sixthplanet, on 02/15/2008, -12/+196Oops! My guess was wrong. I was going to say "The Olsen Twins."
  • inactive, on 02/15/2008, -3/+129Half of this message brought to you by Rudy Giuliani.
  • Devotia, on 02/15/2008, -3/+121Dont blame me, I signed the petition to ban it!
  • gronne, on 02/15/2008, -28/+144Chuck Norris?

    (fyi, I've been in a coma for 6 months so that's still hilarious to me)
  • ifnotme, on 02/15/2008, -9/+103water.
  • redstorm986, on 02/15/2008, -2/+90Chuck norris jokes still being funny require a minimum 2 year coma.
  • KayinNasaki, on 02/15/2008, -1/+88I think someone lied to you about how long you were in a coma.
  • Aupajo, on 02/15/2008, -1/+82"Non-drinking water." I feel a little confused. Should that be "people not drinking water"? Or "water that isn't used for drinking"? Some thought with your taglines, please.
  • billybibbit, on 02/15/2008, -2/+66it's translated from french, it should say people drinking non-potable water
  • Drkboarder, on 02/15/2008, -3/+64Leave water alone!
  • Lyght, on 02/15/2008, -3/+54It's way too soon to be using that imagery.

    1517 people died on that ship.
  • shahruz84, on 12/17/2008, -7/+57the equation is kinda saying that water is a horrible disaster.
    titanic sinking + 9/11 * 2000 = water?
  • SquigglyP, on 02/15/2008, -0/+49I find it hard to believe that water has been conspiring against us for so long.
  • hack314, on 02/15/2008, -1/+45Apparently the fancy ad firm that made this image doesn't know anything about the order of operations. The number I get when I do titanitc + 9/11 * 2000 is a lot lower than 8 million. It gets a lot closer when I do (titanic + 9/11) * 2000.
  • SquigglyP, on 02/15/2008, -3/+47"Non-Drinking water"? ...are they drinking contaminated water, or are they unable to drink water?

    Or are they drinking water that hadn't had a beer in a while? I don't understand at all.
  • ironicsans, on 02/15/2008, -0/+42Okay. I see the wires holding up the planes. But what's holding up the top half of the equal sign?
  • TheRascalKing, on 02/15/2008, -0/+38Well what do you think sank the Titanic? What is a terrorists favorite beverage? Who shot JFK?
    The answer to all of these questions and more: WATER.
  • dvsbastard, on 02/15/2008, -3/+41Personally, to me it doesn't matter what the font size is, I can't make sense of any of it! :(
  • jjb123, on 02/15/2008, -0/+35The solution is obvious. We need to begin launching our water into the sun. It is the only way to make sure it is gone for good.
  • brad016, on 02/15/2008, -0/+31My Bro's in a coma, i wondr what will be funny to him when he wakes up?
  • lebruf, on 02/15/2008, -2/+32Is that your final answer?
  • inactive, on 02/15/2008, -2/+31"Its" isn't, it's "it's".
  • jeimus, on 02/15/2008, -7/+35Stupidity
  • failsafex, on 02/15/2008, -8/+34not 8 millions persons!!
  • lebruf, on 02/15/2008, -0/+26Only because you asked for it:

    Today more than 1 billion people don't have access to drinkable water.
    Undrinkable water is the number one cause of death in the world.
    Every minute 15 people die from water borne illnesses.
    Votre goutte d'eau (your drop of water) is one more voice.
    I'll sign the petition by clicking this cute little red button.
  • captainchris, on 02/15/2008, -21/+46...yet pot is still illegal -_-
  • selrahc, on 02/15/2008, -1/+25Don't deaths from the Titanic count as deaths by non-drinking water?
  • Ocelot13, on 02/15/2008, -1/+22water... the liquid killer
  • Subriot, on 02/15/2008, -7/+27[ (Deaths from the Titanic) + (Deaths caused by 9/11) ] x 2,000 = Amount of deaths caused by non-drinking water
  • Flame15, on 02/15/2008, -1/+20WHOOOOOOOOOOOSH...
  • Oea420, on 02/15/2008, -9/+28Dihydrogen Monoxide is indeed a very dangerous chemical.
  • sleeknerve, on 02/15/2008, -3/+22its allowed, ask your English teacher
  • inactive, on 02/15/2008, -4/+23Oprah Winfrey?
  • ahoyhoy, on 02/15/2008, -1/+19I think they are talking about people in third-world countries who get water out of a pond or dirty well.
  • cliffhanger407, on 02/15/2008, -1/+19They totally ***** up the order of operations.

    Noobs.
  • daniel1113, on 02/15/2008, -4/+22Yeah, I'm sure signing a petition will solve the problem.

    Here's an idea. Why don't YOU move away from your computer, get off your ass, and do something about this horrendous problem?

    That's what I thought.
  • billybibbit, on 02/15/2008, -2/+20the whole point is that 8,000,000 people don't have access to potable water, not that they are lazily drinking dirty water without treating it first
  • GfunkGbuss, on 02/15/2008, -0/+17Rickroll? He'd probably wish he were still in the coma!
  • jasz, on 02/15/2008, -1/+18Link to site (french): http://votregouttedeau.org/
    Anyone got an English version? I can read very little french :(
  • Protoss, on 02/15/2008, -0/+17I was thinking the same thing. I think it has to do with the latter, water that isn't supposed to be drinking water...maybe.
  • Featherbean, on 02/15/2008, -0/+15Am I the only one who thinks there should be parentheses around the Titanic and 9/11? PEDMAS people.
  • Aldinach, on 02/15/2008, -0/+15You'd think they could have gotten a better translator or asked someone who speaks English...
  • tightscrummy, on 02/15/2008, -1/+15Yeah, but they were mostly Irish.
  • dclowd9901, on 02/15/2008, -1/+14Doesn't really roll off the tongue, does it.
  • dillhole, on 02/15/2008, -2/+15Yeah, the Tsunami would have been more fitting.
  • sgtbutterscotch, on 02/15/2008, -1/+14First sighting of math syntax nazi.
  • rstarr, on 02/15/2008, -1/+13Are you serious?! You know how deeply the American culture cares for poor brown people. They would never stand for it.
  • NOFXY, on 02/15/2008, -1/+13it's a shape shifter!??! :O
  • TailsTheMan, on 02/15/2008, -4/+16This is dumb
