Commodity fetishism and objectum sexuality are basically the same thing, right?

This is the dumbest thing to nitpick but the phrase “real UFO” bothers me any UFO is a real UFO as long as it’s unidentified and flying because that’s what those words mean weather or not it’s an alien is a different matter it could be a pancake someone threw real hard as long as you don’t know that’s what it is it’s a UFO

i’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again: anything is a UFO if you’re bad enough at identifying stuff

A counterproposal: in order to be a fake UFO, something can fail to be an object, or fail to be flying.

So the batsignal, improperly identified, could be a fake UFO, because although it appears in the sky and might be mistaken for a UFO, it is neither a physical object nor in any meaningful sense flying. Various light projections, optical illusions, and meteorological phenomena might fall into this category.

Additionally, seen from a distance or in poor lighting/visibility conditions, some sort of bulbous sculpture on a very tall thin support might also appear to be a UFO, and fulfill both the ‘unidentified’ and ‘object’ criteria, without flying, and therefore qualify as a ‘fake UFO’.

this may be the most pedantic thing I’ve ever written in my life 

and we love you for it

That’s it. This is the funniest yak I’ve ever seen. The rest of you may go home.

#anything that makes me laugh this much deserves a reblog #(for my fellow Canadians: DiGiorno is American for Delissio) #(for those of you who are neither American nor Canadian: this joke depends on having seen an ad for a particular brand of frozen pizza) #(so it might not make much sense to you) #(maybe you can catch the next joke)
