A Business Plan Your Company Can Be Proud Of

[Bond]

I'm not sure how funny everyone else will find this, but I just watched the "Gnomes" South Park episode and found this part particularly hilarious, as I've made business plans in the past:



While it is funny because it's South Park, Gnomes, etc, you would be surprised as to how many business plans actually resemble the above one.

[Typhoid]

That is one of my favourite episodes of South Park.


"Hey, whats phase 2?!"
"Phase 3, Profit!"

[Ric]

Can you imagine a business plan by George Bush it would go:

1.Drill Hole. 2. ??? 3. Make $$
or
1. Start War. 2. ??? 3. Get Oil

Here's the short video clip for the Gnome's business plan, unfortunatly embedding is disabled.

This is the only good thing that came out of the meme. The south park episode is hilarious, and dick in a box is hilarious.

This is also older than the Internetz. I think I was in like 4th or 5th grade when that episode of South Park aired.

I thought it was an old joke.

Like:
"Step 1: get on a boat and go to the French coast.
Step 3: conquer the German army and win the war."
"What's step 2?"

Use Americas money, while most of them stay in England and fuck all the women, and the rest of europe kills the Germans. Then watch them step in at the last minute as Berlin is taken to claim the glory

Honestly, I wouldn't care about revisionist history like this if it didn't absolutely dishonor the thousands of American lives that are currently in graves on European soil, 10,000 just at Normandy. Especially this close to memorial day.



Yes, I realize that Europe gave more lives of their own, but thats neither here nor there. Bottom line, without American intervention in the European theater during WW2, Britain would have likely fallen if only through attrition and Germany would have had a better than even chance of stabalizing in France, Italy and Greece. And lets not forget the financial aid and supplies that America donated before our military intervened. To deny this is ignorance or bold faced lie.

And Ric, this juvenile nationalism/anti-americanism you've been expressing of late doesn't become you. It's a bit embarrassing.

Now back to the topic at hand, are there any partcularly good businss plans that you can share, Bond? I'm interested in starting my own consultation firm, and I love to see some examples.

It's definitely an "old" joke but had somewhat recent rejuvenation on the internet as a meme. Still funny when used right on engadget or other sites.

It was a joke aimed at the few europeans that post here actually. And it was also factual. Normandy was just one of 5 beaches attacked that day, it just so happens that, that was the one the americans landed at. Pure chance. If the Americans had landed at an 'empty' beach you would not have even mentioned it.

I said 'use americas money' that was the main thing that was needed and used it was. So I have denied nothing and lied about nothing. Thousand of US troops did indeed come to the UK and stay there till the end of the war. And dont get funny with me when I say the U.S claims the glory because you do.

I could say that what you call 'juvenile nationalism/anti-americanism' is possibly one of the mosy hypocritical things I have ever heard. Parhaps not on your behalf granted. But how often do we see Canada and canadians slated by americans on these boards? What it's ok for americans to take the piss out of people but not for anyone to take the piss out of americans, is that what you are saying.

You say that as if the attack was not planned and the allies didn't know ahead of time what beaches were more heavily defended and harder to overcome. But in essence, you are correct, I only mentioned it because 10,000 died, but that doesn't take away from the fact that 10,000 died on European soil defending YOUR country's freedom, not theirs. I could have mentioned the thousands that parachuted in or landed at oher beaches. I could have mentioned Patton driving to Berlin. I could have mentioned how instrumental a small American force was in holding back the last gasp of the Nazi's during the battle of the bulge. Oh wait, I just mentioned all of these.

I said 'use americas money' that was the main thing that was needed and used it was. So I have denied nothing and lied about nothing.

Yes, and glory is deserved. Glory is also desreved for the French freedom fighters and the British that held out as long as they did. Celebrating accomplishments of the American military in WW2 does not deminish the accomplishments of others. Your snide remarks were an attempt to trivialize the American military's importance in the war, and that entire premise is false.

I could say that what you call 'juvenile nationalism/anti-americanism' is possibly one of the mosy hypocritical things I have ever heard. Parhaps not on your behalf granted.

Quite honestly I don't see very much Canada-bashing on this forum, at least not in any way that is serious, and there is just as much if not more America bashing (your post as an example) so I dont really understand your argument. I also don't see how defending your offensive comments by refrerencing other supposed offensive comments makes them any more appropriate or historically accurate.

You can defend your statements all you like, but trying to dismiss the American involvement as you have: "the rest of europe kills the Germans. Then watch them step in at the last minute as Berlin is taken to claim the glory" is wholly and completely inaccurate, and given this time of the year, offensive.

You are simply wrong and rude at the basest of levels. You pissed on the memory of soldiers who died attempting to save your country. There is nothing redeeming about your comments from a historical or social perspective. If you prefer not to acknowledge that, I'll just chalk it up as a character flaw and we can move on.

Let's not get off topic here, fellas.

I can not even be bothered to justify a joke. Especially one so wide spread and commonly shared across Europe. It's a joke, calm down I will say that if you take offence where it was not intended then that's your problem, not mine. It should not be taken so literally

As has been said I am not going to go off topic anymore so here goes, this ones slightly different, It's kinda relevant to where I am at right now.

Step One: Move To London
Step Two:
Step Three: Make ££££££'s

Ok, we're just joking.

Here's my joke:
Europeans are nothing but a nation of whining, bloody vaginas who laid on their backs while Germany fucked them and would be polishing Nazi boots and cocks right now if it weren't for America saving their asses in WW2.

Hilarious, no? And hey, it's a joke all Americans share. If you take offense, it's your problem.
