The reason I posted the picture was "to illustrate absurdity by being absurd".

I think it's absurd to complain about someone using the word "barf". Yes, a full color picture IS repulsive, as it should be.

But please, a little humor using the word "barf" as in a "barf alert" is not out of place. Is the picture out of place and uncalled for? Yes. Which is why I posted it.

It is a contrast to the petty complaint about a harmless use of the word "barf".

I have no problem with that. I am for the barf alert and have questioned people for not using it on some very leftist articles.

The problem I have with this whole thread is the use of partial truths. The word vomit was used by several posters constantly but I'm on FR 4 or 5 days a week, 2 or 3 hours a day and RARELY saw vomit alerts, I saw barf alerts and that alerted me to leftist articles (which I read so I know my enemies). The vomit spin is what set me off not the idea of alerts.
