Word-whore. I write 'em. I talk 'em. Information, politics, media, and the cybers. I drink. I use bad words. All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris! Vive les poissons rouges sauvages!

Richard, we’ve been labelled “nerds” for getting this joke.
For those who don’t “get it”, try listening to the original radio commentary of the crash of the Hindenburg. Listen to Version 1 where, after doing the promotion for American Airlines, the announcer is shocked by the speed of the conflagration and eventually cries “Oh, the humanity!”
Jokes are never as funny when they have to be explained…
Actually, even better, watch the “standard” video of the Hindenburg crash at YouTube.
Look for a hat tip to this meme in the latest Monkey Island game. Certainly made me chuckle when I saw it
