Of course it is a joke. I have never seen a pickle with "uranium seed" before. Otherwise we would have nuclear bombs made from pickles. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]bwahahaha, picleared (pickled nuclear) bomb!

I agree with all your points Grojlach. It was unfunny and borderline racist, imo [img]smile.gif[/img]

The joke would rely on using Kosher pickles, basically followers of judiasm eat kosher foods, Kosher pickles exploding, get it. Zionist equals jewish. Zionist pickles. If you think its racist well I suppose thats your view, I don't see how it is.

You could take it in terms that its making fun of the ridiculous amount of hate between the two groups that even a freak accident like an exploding pickle would be blamed on the other side. It really wouldn't mean nearly the same thing if I said: Today a Human being was killed by an exploding pickle. Am I supposed to say: The 26 year old man of a race though we won't say which because labeling races is bad.. and wrong.

Come on people.

Apparently by attempting to bombast me with words like "xenophobic" he intends to discredit my article.. You can't make fun of anything without being labeled as a racist anymore. Ugh, I would exclaim Jesus Christ save me from this idiocy! But then I would be labeled as an anti-semitist... I'm thinking of new articles to write so if you guys can come up with random sounding words that could be made into a ridiculous article I'd love to hear them.

LONG LIVE THE NUCLEAR PICKLE!!!
