Wasn't this a Marilyn Manson video? I seem to recall something with a video of his having police in pink uniforms.
 
2005-02-24 10:21:15 AM
Indeed it was, TheOmni...I just can't remember which one, that was a long time ago.
 
2005-02-24 11:09:14 AM
I think it may have been the video where he has boobies.

I have long believed that police cars should be pink.
 
2005-02-24 11:27:25 AM
ZAZ Yeah. I hate having to slow down every time I see a black or white Crown Vic.
 
2005-02-24 11:27:31 AM
Yeah, well your mom goes to college.
 
2005-02-24 11:27:49 AM
Wow. Nothing like the WWN to skew reality even more.
 
2005-02-24 11:28:00 AM
I love WWN. Hi-fraggin-larious.

"We're supposed to instill fear," says a top police officer. "We don't want criminals to die laughing."

/damn straight ya commie pinko.

More seriously, but still silly, my local police had a "morale problem" involving the color of their police cars so the city started buying black instead of blue.
 
2005-02-24 11:31:18 AM
NYPD Pink sounds like pr0n.

I used to read the Weekly World News back when it was a respectible publication, with cutting edge investigative reporting, but lately it's been printing some pretty lame stuff.

I'm not sure what they will replace it with, but (no pun intended) I'm sure it will have a vibrating handle.

"What will you do if we let you go hooooooooome,
And the plastic's all melted,
And so is the chrooooooome?
Whooooo are the gay police?"

That video you all are talking about was The Dope Show. I'm trying to find pix.

pigs?

The Pope was right! The evil "Gay Agenda" is running amok! Those evil, evil gay people!

Hmmm. It would be kinda funny to run a company called "Amok."
 
2005-02-24 11:48:10 AM
Oh jesus. This can't be real. And if it is, it's asinine.
 
2005-02-24 11:48:15 AM
Did you guys hear Satan escaped from Hell?
 
2005-02-24 11:51:48 AM
So if 3 cops are walking down the street and one falls in the sewer it truly would be 2 in the pink, one in the stink. What a shocker!

Pink Uniforms, Very "Ernest Goes To Jail"

Now I won't be able to tell the difference between cop stripeprs and cops

JuventinaDJ: Oh jesus. This can't be real. And if it is, it's asinine.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh yes... I, like soooooooo agree... this is just so asinine... the "Weekly World News" ain't been wrong yet!!! ...maybe you (and me) should write a letter to the NYPD to tell them how stewpid this is... K?

And after the pink police cars, we'll have everyone in the city wear name tags!

/one no-fat yogurt please
 
2005-02-24 11:55:18 AM
If you wear pink, you stink.....
 
2005-02-24 11:59:47 AM
The best part is believing that it will cut down or REPORTS of police brutality because of the Pink Effect. Brutality is fine but nobody wants all that paperwork.
 
2005-02-24 12:02:41 PM
The NYPD has a bad reputation because of 'gloomy uniforms'? Well, that and sodomy of arestees in the bathroom with a night stick. Pink will make it a friendlier sodomy!
 
2005-02-24 12:06:06 PM
A study was done in San Jose California in the '70's to determine what color jails should be painted to reduce inmate aggressiveness. The result?

You're way ahead of me.

permanenthursday: Did you guys hear Satan escaped from Hell?

But I heard that Bat-Boy managed to get him back down there, so it's all good.

Love that Bat-Boy.

The up side of pink uniforms? Blood won't show as bad.
 
2005-02-24 12:14:07 PM
Qermaq, blood still shows but it blends so much better.
 
2005-02-24 12:14:19 PM
Instead of wearing pink, why not just layoff the plunger tactics for a while?

That article was pathetic, it's like they weren't even trying. Come on Weekly World News, get your head in the game.
 
2005-02-24 12:26:05 PM
Does anyone know anyone who actually believes stories in WWN?
 
2005-02-24 12:29:29 PM
Actually, this wouldn't be a bad idea. The military did research to determine what color to paint their helicopters to maximize their stealth potential during daylight operations, and it was determined that "whitish red" was hardest to see.

Funny how the funding for THAT program stopped so quickly.

Despite the fact that this is Weekly world news, it pisses me off that the cop was quoted as saying "we're supposed to instill fear." That's bullshiat. On the cop cars it says "to protect and serve." It's too bad that too many police departments design their uniforms and cars to look as intimidating as possible, all that does is give cops a big-dick syndrome where they believe they are supposed to scare people. That leads to people losing respect for the law itself, and only fear those who enforce it. Look at police uniforms from other countries, i.e. italy, germany. They look like people that are there to serve the public, rather than people who try to look like freakin storm troopers or SS officers. State troopers especially try to look like they are tough mofos, they piss me off the most.

Despite the fact that this is Weekly world news?

So you think this is an actual quote?

TheGrayCat

nicely played.
 
2005-02-24 12:37:39 PM
NYC cops main job in fact IS to instill fear. That's entirely accurate. "Courtesy", as their motto would have one believe, is far removed from the truth.

/at least towards those from New Jersey.
//set myself up.
 
2005-02-24 12:39:58 PM
No, I addressing the quote as it it were real, despite the fact that it is weekly world news. Cops do want to instill fear, and I dont think they should.
 
2005-02-24 12:40:46 PM
I find that Philly cops are much more rude than NYC cops.
 
2005-02-24 12:40:47 PM
what is the Satire tag for?
