Can someone explain this picture to me?

Can someone explain this picture to me?



I don't know what its supposed to represent, or if its a joke, or someone trying hard but making some weird mistakes? For example:

- Why is the flag backwards?

- Why is he burning KFC?

- Why is he pouring out a bottle of what looks like Grape Snapple? Is he pouring it on the ground on purpose? To put out the fire and missing? Or his he making a tribute to a fallen friend? (perhaps "Mike", the name on the tattoo?)

- (related:Why does "mike" on the tattoo look like it was either photoshopped, or added later?)

- Why is he wearing a Honda Hat (if this is some kind of Pro-America photo)?

- His patch looks like a Major League Baseball logo, edited to look like a .. sniper? soldier? Or is this a logo for something else entirely? And isn't it on the wrong side?

- Why is there a bullet hole in the flag?

- What is the logo on the other side of his hat?

- And for gun-lovers: What is that thing below the barrel of his gun that kind of looks like another gun? (It also reminds me of the speeder bikes in Return of the Jedi)

Just asking... photo is confusing to me.

It is a bipod, to support the gun while shooting prone. I can't answer to the rest as I am not a doctor.

If it makes you feel better I dont get it either, I am from Canada as well, I know the grape juice and the KFC are things that Americans say black people love, so I think is somewhat race related.

[Juicy D. Links]

looks like a good old fashion Canadian bar b q to me

[Va2k]

Well I was born the wrong color if Chicken and watermelon and grape soda means your black because I LOVE them all. Matter of fact there really isn't anything I don't like from the south. I can't eat seafood though

The internet can explain everything if you know how to ask.

You were not born wrong - nobody is claiming that only blacks love them They are merely claiming that on average blacks love it more than non blacks.

[mineistaken]

Maybe flag means that US is going backwards and grape with kfc displays one of the examples of how it is going backwards (by treating blacks, who contribute less to the society, better than whites due to the liberal double standard).

[dyna mo]

it's very easy to explain, that guy is an idiot.

there are instances when the American flag is required to be displayed backwards like that (such as on the Space Shuttle), however, this is not one of those times.

but God bless that bastard, he's an American and he's got the right to do that picture.

The thing below the barrel of his gun is a hinged bipod that you can fold down when you are shooting in the prone position to hold the barrel steady and improve accuracy.



All the rest of your questions.... You're guess is as good as mine! LOL!

[Joshua G]

your not trolling with those questions mark?

pic is a redneck who hates blacks & is declaring war. the flag & KFC & grape soda & AR15 are all symbolic. the honda logo is his ATV/dirt bike/motorcycle. poor choice of brand considering the imagery, IMO.

guaranteed the obama DOJ is sending an FBI agent to that gentlemans house to ask some questions, bust his balls.

[SekobA]

Google it

[ownedbox]

Mike is his tranny so dont bother yourself!

No sir, not trolling at all. I had just seen this image posted many times recently on GFY but I didn't get it. I didn't know if it was a joke, or satire, or what was going on at all.

And no I don't think Obama will be sending anyone to see him. The secret service went to see Ted Nugent because he uttered a death threat. The guy with the chicken and the flag is making no death threat - he's just (trying to) make a political statement (as 420 helped me learn, below)

That's how dumb I am I guess - I didn't even see the chicken and grape soda as anything racist.

Thanks - this is it.

[seeandsee]

i don't want to get it

[DBS.US]

If you think something is racist, it's because your a racist

[AllAboutCams]

Im not black and i love kfc and grape soda

[aka123]

After careful consideration, I have come to conclusion that he messages him being blind target shooter, and his belowed chicken wings have got in fire and he tries to put the fire down (bad aim due being blind).

The hole in the flag indicates that he was practising shooting, probably tried to aim the stars. Mike is probably his friend who had little accident at the last time they practised shooting.

[CDSmith]

He's pissed off because he ordered the new blackened chicken at KFC but they delivered nothing but original recipe. Fuckers. The country will pay for this egregious error in judgement. They done fucked with the wrong guy's chicken.

The redneck mind works in mysterious ways, obviously.

[Dead]

The rest of the imagery is a bit Screwed....
"- What is the logo on the other side of his hat?"
Fox Moto...I love riding dirt bikes is all.
I wish you luck and good fortune in your desire to unlock the Code of the redneck.Chicken wings be with you in your search....

[Penny24Seven]

He is trying to piss off the black folks in the riots, I thought it was easy to see, The KFC of fire being the stereotypical food all black like along with the grape soda.
RIP Mike for Mike Brown the guy who was shot and killed in the "hands up don't shoot" riots where he never had his hands up anyway.

Why is there no watermelon?

I will help answer a couple of your questions, the logo on the other side of his hat is a Fox Racing Logo. It's an iconic global leader in motorcross and a leading action sports.



The patch is Major League Infidel used by cryeprecision.com for their apparel
Crye Precision


As for the flag flying backwards. It's actually normal military practice to wear the flag backwards on some of their uniforms.

Army regulation 670-1, Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia, the regulation states when authorized for application to the proper uniform, the U.S. flag patch is to be worn, right or left shoulder, so that ?the star field faces forward, or to the flag?s own right. When worn in this manner, the flag is facing to the observer?s right, and gives the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward. The appropriate replica for the right shoulder sleeve is identified as the ?reverse side flag?.?


Hope that helps

I have more valuable question, I thought Valuev was ugly but apparently -

[TisMe]

Our new remote camera timer is so simple that this guy figured it out.

apparently, it's so the flag appears to be flying alongside the spacecraft.
