The defend billionaires sign is not a real ad, it's created by Martin Sprouse.

A tweet claims a billboard with Elon Musk’s photo that reads “Defend billionaires” can be seen outdoors. But the sign is not real. It is the digital artwork of designer Martin Sprouse, and the image was published on Sprouse’s Instagram account the month before it spread on Twitter.

This is one of the best types of social media comment. Thank you.

...are you taking credit for someone else's helpful comment, or did you forget which sockpuppet you were driving today?

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago

I'm referencing a line from scrubs...

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Well, that's certainly better than either of my guesses!

I'd ask why, but that would be facetious of me - I damn well know I do the same thing from time to time.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Episode is "my common enemy". The BBEG gives his Spanish English dictionary to a doctor he is trying to get to not sue him, his Spanish English dictionary claiming he "mastered the language". She responds in Spanish, and he says what you read me type.

Yes, They Live is a real movie and it’s fan-fuckin’-tastic. Definitely need to watch.

I feel like it would work well as one. We probably need more of it; that kind of “Intentional bad messaging” that gets people angry at the thing being advertised.

I’ve been thinking so much about this movie as the Epstein files rolled out. These monsters were literally living amongst us and there’s a whole ecosystem of sycophants that enable them.

[-] Kaliax@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Will you tell me the name of the film, please?

Probably in Texas, in the land he owns.

By the way I would never eat a rich person. They taste like shit

[-] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

look, lets just agree to recycle the billionaires. It's probably the best thing we can do to make small amends for the damage they have done.

[-] ganryuu@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago

I see "eat the rich" as "use them as fertilizer".

[-] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 8 points 2 months ago

Compost the rich.

[-] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Don’t eat shit, mulch the rich.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

That's just eating them with extra steps.

[-] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

That’s one potential path, and the indirection contributes to hygiene.

[-] bennypr0fane@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 months ago

Meaning it exists in the real world, but was put up by Martin Sprouse (not Elonk), or the billboard doesn't really exist, just the image was created by Martin Sprouse?

Ew... no. Gross. Compost him instead.

[-] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

We need more like this. Using real billboards and their glasses equivalents.

[-] NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

Awesome profile pic ma dude!

[-] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Same to you! Now I feel like I need some animation.
