Am I missing the obvious sarcasm that is somehow not mentioned? as in this pig is an obvious CLASS TRAITOR for being a pig that sells parts of (presumably) other pigs?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago

Edit: huh, the '+' did do what i intended but didn't believe it would work.

You can't convince me the pig in the third pic isn't Winne the 🇨🇳 Pooh.

Now I'm imagining a pig wearing programming socks.

There is a job that can be represented without any clothes at all.

Isn't there a very famous children's story about a pig that is more equal than the other pigs?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

I wouldn't exactly call it a children's story

My school had me read it when I was a kid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I think you could read it to children.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You can read anything to children…

I once saw someone read a Metallica song to their kid as a bedtime story.

So a billionaire is a real job now? I don't even have to imagine a billionaire being a pig, they all already are!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Being billionaire is not a job.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

that's what I'm saying, but a pig could be it in a children's story

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

But imagine them in a childrens book doing their job

That is the hard ppart

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

This is just a stock image but it's not hard to imagine it being in a children's story. Besides, Scrooge McDuck is an existing character in a children's story that is a billionaire as a duck.

But in this photo, they are throwing money, not doing their job

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

their "job" is literally none other than being rich

throwing money is part of that

the other part is swimming in a pool of money

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

Swimming in a pool of and throwing money arent jobs, they are hobbies

If they dont do anything other than that, they are jobless

I could totally imagine a clothed pig sitting in front of a computer

[–] [email protected] 26 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Literally me (to be fair I'm not always clothed).

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

A pig wearing a shirt and tie, but no pants.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

So the average cartoon character

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

A pig could sit in front of a computer in those books right? Right?!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Dumb question: what is this illustration from? I recognize the art style, but can't place it.

3rd candidate pun:

Oink-oborous

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago

If I paid more attention in English class I could make this into an essay. Something about the "dog eat dog" nature of capitalism and the expectation that you will do it with rosy cheeks. The use of the butcher pig is an interesting take on the idiom as the harsh competition is often thought of as between faceless firms; rather than a blue collar worker. If I was a cultured pig I might have even watched the motion picture "Soylent Green" and weave it into the essay. Is the butcher aware of what goes into the grinder? Could it be that this pig is a revolutionary and is eating the rich pig?
