What’s the point of this post? To show that you’re no better than Hone in comparing Don to Hitler?

You got the captions the wrong way around. Or is that how it’s supposed to be, and that’s supposed to be funny?

[DPF: I didn’t create it. Someone e-mailed it to me. I suspect the captions are deliberately wrong]

You put Titiwhai in charge of the country then mock the comparison.

The common thread running though all these people – her, Hone, Sykes – the whole lot of them – is a super-sized chip which drives everything about them.

Personally I feel sorry for them and others like them for by definition, they have chosen to have become driven by hatred. In other words to lead a destructive not constructive life. They disguise their decision to themselves by pretending to themselves that deep inside they are actually driven by simply wanting, like Robin Hood, to correct injustice by taking back legally from the rich and giving it to the poor. This is their disguise to themselves, so they don’t have to face the fact their motivation is driven from sometimes more and sometimes less but nevertheless always naked, hatred.

Jeez guys – easy on!

My reaction when I saw it was to laugh. This is no different to the other “twins” photos that are published from time to time.

But then again, I guess you need a sense of humour in the first place….

I mean to say metcalph – if you think this is funny, then fine – let’s go the whole hog and start with some personalised satire about his mother in an afro-american sort of way. I mean seriously, what the f**k is DPF expecting to emanate from such a post as this?

A series of posts like ‘Gosh you are right! there is a resemblance”
“Hmm, I agree. That certainly is the case – how interesting…”

Or is it going to start a series of posts about mentally infirm racists with egomaniacal urges? Nepotism and dictatorial manias etc. . .
Yes. It’s an invitation to engage in a bit of ad hominem baiting, and bile about nothing of political interest whatso ever. I’m no fan of this woman, but It’s just a cheap shot. A bit like when those tea-prty peple posted that pic of Obama with those chimps, then turned around and said ‘Gosh, we just thought it was funny – it certainly wasn’t intended to be offensive.’ Perhaps It’s not because peoples’ sense of humour is lacking that people might not find it funny – it might be because actually, it’s not . . . . funny. In short it’s malicious, and dare I say – dogwhistly…

Shame on you all. To engage in hatred is no remedy for hatred.

besides the only resemblance I can see is that they are both wearing shades, the lips are completely different so is the hair, skin-tone and nose and chin. Please gimme a break. It’s racist. Pure and simple.

Have you seen Hone’s latest rant? Was lead story on prime News but One News didn’t mention it at all.
He said Maori in NZ are treated worse than dogs, and that they’re treated better in Australia.

What a load of old cobblers. From what i can see, the Govt bends over backward to give Maori special allowances and funds etc.

300 Maori in Australia want him to go over and have a look, but he’ll only do it if they join his new party.

That guy is a real piece of work.

Because if you are the kind of person that thinks all people who are not white ‘look the same’, then this might have some kind of comedy cachet, simply on the basis that to engage in that level of puerile banter is still ok. Personally I thought it died out in the seventies. . .

But apart from that, when you analyse the photos, and look at the actual shared facial characteristics – there aren’t any – it’s complete bollocks.

ps Show me something funny and I will laugh – I promise.
PPs is the funny bone still in my ass or has it been removed? I can’t recall…

Odd. The Twins style humor can be and has been applied to white people. In my most recent issue, I have an article which points out the physical similarity (and implies another) between Hugh Bonneville and Wayne Rooney, both of whom are white.

If you can’t see this is a piece of humour, then, rather than look for something sinister that doesn’t exist, may I recommend you use the finger on your right hand to press the ‘off’ button on your computer and make sure that the door doesn’t smack your arse on the way out.

It’s not about whether or not it’s sinister – the photos simply aren’t funny. If you find this sort of humour funny then you’d probably enjoy Trevor Mallard’s jokes on Red Alert.

*sigh*

Poor DPF. Lookalikes is a print meme (yes, boys and girls, we had memes before you came along with your fandangled i-whatsits and your e-thingummys).

It was featured (as “Separated at birth?”) by the utterly brilliant and much lamented Spy Magazine which mixed investigative reporting and satire. It also ran in Private Eye as “Lookalikes”.

And as DPF says it was all about physical similarities, not politics (though if you could hit similar facial characteristics and personalities types, as this one does, you got bonus points).

Of course it’s since made its way online, but usually without the satirical edge…. though the fact that they’ve found a pic of Lindsay Lohan that makes her look like Kate Middleton could perhaps be seen as a post-modernist satire on the monarchy… or just lame 🙂

Compare that to some of Private Eye’s and you’ll see how it should work.

Here’s one specially for Lucia Maria, Krisk et al 😉

only ones been done for and served prison time for assaulting an individual the other hasn’t been done and served prison time for assaulting a whole nation. Yes there are no physical similarities, but both a complete know it all w**kers and run dictatorships (their way or the highway or in the case of North Korea, death).

I find it funny because it made me think of ‘Team America’ and Titiwhai as an out of control puppet/muppet.

The seven dwarfs always left to go work in the mine early each morning. As always,
Snow White stayed home doing her domestic chores.

As lunchtime approached she would prepare their lunch and carry it to the mine.
One day as she arrived at the mine with the lunch she saw that there had been a
terrible cave-in. Tearfully, and fearing the worst, Snow White began calling out,
hoping against hope that the dwarfs had somehow survived.

‘Hello!….Hello!’ she shouted. ‘Can anyone hear me? Hello!

For a long while, there was no answer.
Losing hope, Snow White again shouted, ‘Hello! Is anyone down there?’

Just as she was about to give up all hope, She heard a faint voice from deep within

the mine, singing . . …….’Vote for Hone Harawira.. Vote for Hone Harawira!

Snow White fell to her knees, crossed herself and prayed, ‘Oh, thank you God!

At least Dopey is still alive!’

But nasska, we reside in the lower reaches of the Kiwiblog commentary zone, where men taunt other men on their penis size.

If only it were that easy to get a promotion, but I suspect we’ll have to really earn that trip up to hell…

Meanwhile, the seven dwarves walk into a brothel. The madam says, “Good evening, gentlemen.”

They all reply, “Hi, ho.”

Must admit that I don’t spend a lot of time looking at Red Blurt. I find the tone of many posts simply nauseating as they are based on blind envy.

But I have to agree that Trevor is funny. I laugh most times he opens his mouth. He lurches from baseless accusation to baseless accusation with his gums in overdrive but his brain jammed in neutral.

So in terms of this thread – if you can’t understand it, then simply log out.

I smiled but didn’t laugh… not because I thought it racist though. Their respective ethnicities didn’t even cross my mind. And even now I don’t see what the fuss is about. Aside from the sunnies, quite possibily the thing they have most in common is personality type.

I enjoy humour when it’s good, such as season one of Family Guy. This on the other hand was just simply not funny. It was an attempt to be yet failed miserably (although it seems to have done it for you). If this was able to make you laugh then I suggest you watch Beavis and Butthead, which has jokes on the same level. It’s about as stupid as this recent post on Bomber’s blog:

# DPF said. “Don’t be a fwit. This is about facial similarity, not politics”

Maybe DPF missed his own joke. Despite what he said — the similarity IS about politics. Two self obsessed meglomaniacs. Who happen to wear shades.
That political similarity is why he posted it.
Mind you – only one of them so far has been convicted of the crimes.

I am not sure he has a conviction, but am inclined towards yes, in which case he may not get a visa even to visit his whanau in Australia.

We will eventually only be left with the “leftovers” in Maoridom who cannot leave.
