Wouldn’t it be great if Air Force one was a giant orange blimp instead of the president?

Remember when we thought W was incurious and totally unfit for the job?
The fucking president doesn’t want to hear dissenting views.

Reportedly (page 8) Best Korea adopted the practice of preventing such mishaps, and potential consumer confusion; but mandating that radios be permanently tuned in hardware to ideologically correct frequencies.
Surely a presidency with this one’s knowledge of the importance of the cyber could find a friend’s consulting firm to deliver equivalent firmware improvements for government-critical televisions?

I couldnt care less if the angry pumpkin is insulted. Calling him a baby is an insult to all babies, though they’re not in a position to object. Dinging him for being fat is an insult to fat people, and irrelevant. He’s not ugly and dangerous because he’s fat.
Somehow the day after the election, I expected some kind of solidarity among his opposition, a truce between anyone to the left of this fucker, and a determination to make it right. Boy, was I wrong!

He’s great at being terrible, if you ask me.
A fairly simple thing to do these days. Flash the TV with custom firmware. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a standard configuration option. Maybe a one line change.
Wasn’t there a TV remote control prank in Poltergeist?
I hear Rigby Reardon is the man to call when things are out of whack.

Yeah, its pretty sad to see people embracing the tools of ‘their oppressors’.
good one.
Control locks of varying degrees of competence and sophistication are pretty common in devices intended for public or semi-public applications (hence the term “hotel mode” for TVs with a basic lockout to allow power toggling and volume control; but not wandering away from the provided options). ‘Signage’ displays tend to have more complex and customizable options (plus RS-232, so you just can’t help but trust them more than other displays; it’s so earnest and dedicated of them); but carry a premium (albeit not one that someone outfitting Air Force One would worry about.
Given the appalling state of ‘smart’ TVs it would be a complete unsurprise if there are quite a few that could be reflashed to suit over the air. (Samsung’s excellence in software naturally qualifies; but the insanity of the payloads not only allowed, but specified, by “Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV” mean that they are unlikely to be alone.)

Speaking as a fat guy, I see it not as, “he’s horrible because he’s obese” but as, “he’s horrible AND he’s obese.”
Is including that he’s obese necessary? No.
Other than the fact that he has so much invested in his self image that he’s made fake doctor’s notes saying he’s in great physical shape – the best shape really – in spite of what our eyeballs are telling us.
Calling him “fat” is worthwhile. Shaming other people for being fat by calling them “Trump-like” would be wrong and very hurtful.
Did you choose to call him a pumpkin because he’s orange, or because he’s big and round? Because when I think of a pumpkin, I think of a big, round, orange thing. Sooooo. Fat. And orange.

… and turning one into a Jack-o-lantern is a bit weird, what with the carving and the gutting, but great fun!
