In case you were worried that Tucker Max & Co. couldn't get any more repulsive:
Tucker Max's message board has launched a Photoshop competition for the best reimagined protest signs from the "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" protests. Creative Max devotees are working off images from the film tour's photostream in order to ridicule students from the NC State women's center, which staged a Raleigh protest of the film.[Image removed by request of the pictured protester. The image pictured the original photograph of a young female protester holding a protest sign, and an altered photograph in which the sign has been Photoshopped to read "I'm mad cuz no one will rape me" followed by a frowny face.]
Har har! Get it? 'Cuz rape is totes a compliment, so the clever, clever Photoshopper is saying that the protester is UGLY! Har har!
Many of the signs are virulently racist, too, which some Maxolytes actually point to as a justification for the rape jokes: "'Tucker Max culture' encourages a hatred of pretty much everyone—not just women, fat women, or black people, but also white men who Max considers douchey." Well, that's certainly a creative defense: I'm not a misogynist racist fat-hater—I'm merely a sociopathic misanthrope!
