Hey! Today’s Questionable Content is also about robot civil rights.
Just like my published story, Artificial Ineptitude.
Wow, tumblr staff. “Super cool” of you to feature a blog where a cab driver tags pictures of ultra-orthodox Jews as “#Yids,” “#Heebs,” and “#landlords.” I’m surprised he didn’t use the k-word; he’s got all the other slurs that people don’t call Jews anymore.
Where by super cool I mean NOT cool. Insensitive is probably a better word. And I’m being generous with that.
Name Tom Hunter
Location Melbourne, AustraliaAnimation student Tom Hunter made his first stop-motion animation while in high school: a film about an orange creature named Reg who had the misfortune of losing a sock. He’s been hooked ever since. Today, he’s one year away from finishing an animation degree from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. In the meantime, he’s done work for the upcoming season of Yo Gabba Gabba!, created layouts for Adventure Time, and plans some series pitches for TV networks that I can’t even mention.

“
Mark Schatzker, a Canadian satirist, told The Lede on Wednesday that it was “a huge surprise” to him to learn that opponents of the Occupy Wall Street movement in the United States, including Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, have been using this quote, from a 38-year-old protester named Jeremy puzzled by the habits of bankers on Bay Street, in Toronto’s financial district, as evidence that that the protesters are lazy:
“It’s weird protesting on Bay Street. You get there at 9 a.m. and the rich bankers who you want to hurl insults at and change their worldview have been at work for two hours already. And then when it’s time to go, they’re still there. I guess that’s why they call them the one per cent. I mean, who wants to work those kinds of hours? That’s the power of greed.” - Jeremy, 38
Mr. Schatzker was surprised because Jeremy is a fictional character he invented recently for his weekly humor column published in Toronto’s Globe and Mail newspaper.
As the Web site Mediate reported this week, opponents of the protest movement were apparently so pleased to read the quote Mr. Schatzker attributed to Jeremy — a 38-year-old protester puzzled by the habits of bankers on Bay Street, in Toronto’s financial district — that they failed to notice that the column was clearly labelled “Satire” at the very top before copying the text and sharing it by on Facebook, in e-mails, on blogs and even in outraged YouTube videos.
The fake quote was so widely cited that it even ended up being repeated on Tuesday by Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, at a campaign event.

LOL Republicans.
Alternative headline: “People With Common Sense Not Surprised Conservatives Cited ‘Occupy’ Fiction As Fact.”
