Two words:
Rook's Screwed. ---Blackout- 12:15, 20 September 2009 (EDT)
Please do make make offensive political comments on this page. Surely you can think of a better joke. 68.61.240.172 15:53, 22 November 2009 (EST)
- Surely you can be a little less sensitive? No one is actually trying to insult the man. Khajidha 15:59, 22 November 2009 (EST)
- If we let every so-and-so anon decide to remove captions they deem offensive, this site'd be a humourous as a grandmother's funeral. Besides, it's satire. 82.5.78.143 16:21, 22 November 2009 (EST) (MGN, apparently not signed in)
- I'm with Geewunling here, when the caption first got tacked up I thought it was pretty darn fitting. --Jeysie 17:28, 22 November 2009 (EST)
- Heck, I don't even see what's so offensive about it.--RosicrucianTalk 17:42, 22 November 2009 (EST)
- It's describing Bill O'Reilly, a real world commentator, as a a liar and a government shill. I wish to see it removed. 68.61.240.172 19:24, 22 November 2009 (EST)
- It's describing Bill O'Reilly as a sensationalist journalist. Heck, if that's offensive then so's Stephen Colbert's entire career. I don't have a club membership, but have you considered that potentially Sepelak and Troop have intentionally made Shattered Glass Rook in homage to O'Reilly?--RosicrucianTalk 20:00, 22 November 2009 (EST)
- Actually it was Jesse Wittenrich who's responsible for SG Rook. But otherwise, yeah, I'm with Rosicrucian here. There's quite a few RL journalists in the same conservative sensationalist bracket as our ABN reporter TF here, of which O'Reilly is one. --Jeysie 20:11, 22 November 2009 (EST)
