Is Ted Cruz the Zodiac Killer?
It's been widely reported that more than a third of respondents say "maybe".

A third of respondents know nothing about either, then, because Cruz was born in 1970, two years after the beginning of the Zodiac Killer's activity. The basis is some conspiracy nuts making noise in 2013 after Ted Cruz delivered a speech titled "This is the Zodiac speaking," Satan knows why.

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.
Because Ted Cruz is a Birther and they are mocking him.

The whole thing is a joke. A very aptly targeted joke.
My son makes me laugh. Maybe he'll make you laugh, too.
That makes it unlikely, but not impossible. There are any number of methods by which Cruz could have killed people before he was born, including time travel and reincarnation.Prak wrote:A third of respondents know nothing about either, then, because Cruz was born in 1970, two years after the beginning of the Zodiac Killer's activity.

Exactly. There's something fishy here.erik wrote:Yeah, it's probably impossible, but if it is then why hasn't he openly denied it?

I don't particularly find it amusing, since I saw a point made about it by someone I follow on Facebook before I really knew anything about the joke itself-

Families of the victims of the Zodiac Killer. Yup.

Yup, I'm sure they adore the idea of the faceless man who eluded capture and never answered for needlessly ending the lives of people they loved being turned into a silly little meme to mock someone.
I mean, sure, some of the ones who spent these past decades thinking about someone they lost - a sibling or maybe even a child - and wondering "why" may not appreciate it but they just need to toughen up. We've got the high road cuz we're mocking Ted Cruz so what if there's possible emotional collateral damage?
RIGHT?
But seriously I hate people a lot right now.
And, no, selling shirts of this shit for a "good cause" doesn't make it better. Being shitty for good reasons is still being shitty.

Yeah, and I bet those Jews are super upset about Hitler analogies... Or you know, people who have loved ones killed usually have a better perspective on what's important 46 years later than concern trolls on the internet.

I'm genuinely torn here. On the one hand, I don't have the energy to muster up a vitriolic rant. On the other hand, that's really fucking dumb.Prak wrote:I don't particularly find it amusing, since I saw a point made about it by someone I follow on Facebook before I really knew anything about the joke itself-

Is this what it feels like to need viagra to perform? The stupid is clearly there giving me the bedroom eyes, and yet not even a tingle.
I get Kaelik's take, but I still think that Randy has a point. I don't know, I've got other shit I'm overreacting to tonight.

He does have a point. And if you were specifically making the joke to someone whom you know lost family to the Zodiac, it would be tasteless.Prak wrote:I get Kaelik's take, but I still think that Randy has a point. I don't know, I've got other shit I'm overreacting to tonight.
But, it's been 42 years. It's officially not too soon.
Yeah, I can get that.

I do feel it's worth pointing out that nobody has ever seen both Ted Cruz and the Zodiac Killer in the same place at the same time.
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."
I'm more puzzled as to why he appears to be wearing a (poorly-fitting) David Cameron mask at all times. Is he trying, in his efforts to definitely not be from a foreign land, to appear to be a raging torie from... a different foreign land?
It's either that or someone tried to make David Cameron into a muppet. Some of the facial expressions really shout "muppet" to me. Then again, I think Mitch McConnell looks like a turtle shitting, so I might not be the best judge.

I don't see why the feelings of murder victims' families should stop us from enjoying some harmless fun.
Y'know what else Cruz has never denied? Being Jeffrey Dahmer's silent partner.

All of us at one time or another have said things that would offend the family members of people who suffered horrible fates. Many of us do it on a daily basis. I'm not sure why I should care any more about Ted Cruz being facetiously accused of being the Zodiac Killer than I do about the other equally horrible things said here...

In this moment, I am Ur-phoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my int score.
How do you know he was born in 1970? Has he released his birth certificate????Prak wrote:A third of respondents know nothing about either, then, because Cruz was born in 1970, two years after the beginning of the Zodiac Killer's activity.

This signature is here just so you don't otherwise mistake the last sentence of my post for one.
There you go, lesson learned, concern trolls never actually care about anyone's feelings, they are just using concern trolling as substitute for an actual argument to pursue their agenda.

Yeah, and the literal first page of the comic has Randy's self-insert character sending a coathanger to an ex as a babyshower gift, and is also fifteen years old. Fuck, there's another comic that's like ten years old where an annoying gamer's elf cleric character is raped by redneck trees.
What's your fucking point, Eikre? That Randy was a terrible person? Given that he's not running for office, I'm pretty sure he's allowed to grow, so the comic panels you highlight aren't exactly a counterpoint to his "look, real people who were friends and family of a rather terrifying serial killer in recent history are still alive, and maybe wouldn't think this 'likely republican nominee is literally a serial killer' thing is funny."
Now, I can see the point raised a couple days back that maybe that's a bit excessively precious and sensitive. But given that Randy isn't running for POTUS, and his comics about suicide/"you're dumb, kill yourself," anal rape, and being devoured by catgirls aren't fucking national headlines, but rather things you have to go and find in his fairly small-time webcomic... wtf?
But moreover... I fucking agreed that maybe I was being overly concerned and the whole thing is dumb, so why the fuck are people still showing up to say "Prak you're dumb?"
