Erm, I don't quite think that's appropriate for this board. In fact, I don't think <i>anything</i> from there is.

It's one of their pseudo fake cover pages. They do that from time to time. If you look on the left you will see "fake sa" which has a listing of some of the others that they have done in the past.<br><br>Some of the stuff in their "comedy gold section" definately isn't suitable, but a lot of it is. Viewer discretion advised. "Video game crossovers" and "the bugs attack" is pretty safe to view in my estimation.<br><br>
We're sorry but the number that you have dialed is imaginary....Please turn your phone 90 degrees and try again.

It's poking fun at furries, as usual. Everything from the lingo to the way they describe it is a direct parody of the furry fandom. Personally, I think the whole site is crap, but whatever floats your boat.

SA has always been highly anti-furry. And while I don't consider myself a furry, I have to agree with Felix. Any website that prides itself on insulting others who differ from their own mannerisms, viewpoints, and orientations is, quite frankly, a destroyer of society. Some people may find these humourous, but it is this sort of "humour" that leads to the persistence of racism, sexism, homophobia, antisemitism, and other forms of discrimination. They are, in a nutshell, the portrayl of the general attitude of Nazi Germany.<br><br>But you didn't come here to listen to me get on soapbox and preach my own view of ethics and society. So I'll leave now.

Bah that site, I'd say that reading their stuff just makes me sad (at how negative they're displaying everything) but I wouldn't want them to know that cuz they'll take it like a victory.

I've always personally called Something Awful the Nazi and the furry is the Jew.<br><br>Just me. I hate the site, personally. It's for lame idiots who are depressed and get laughs off people worse/different from them.

Eh, SA still has some pretty funny articles from time to time, and I've laughed at some of the furry ones because I figure you have to be able to laugh at yourself before you can laugh at anything. That article sucked, not because it was offensive, but because it was a bad article. They've written better.
