(Journal Star) Dumbass ... it turns out they were stopping every driver, driving east on the westbound lanes of the Interstate. And that's profiling. And profiling is wrong   (journalstar.com) divider line 88

I don't see the connection between the article and the headline.

I got confused. Sue me.

erupt2001: I don't see the connection between the article and the headline.

There was only one driver going eastbound in the westbound lane. He was making a funny about profiling.

I got it subby, even though it was a bit labored.

I think he's making reference to the ethnicity of the driver based on the driver's name and how some illegals are being arrested for DUI with a few (very few) activists claiming profiling of illegals committing other crimes besides illegal immigration.

I could be wrong.

... It's a Ron White bit, talking about driving drunk and getting pulled over, "But I find out they were pulling over every vehicle driving up that sidewalk.. etc."

It's a stretch but I see the connection
 
2010-01-08 02:35:08 PM
He was driving westbound in the eastbound lanes. But other than that, I don't know what problem everyone is having with your headline, subby.
 
2010-01-08 02:35:16 PM
This was remarkably unfunny.
I want my last two minutes back.

I think the key was to actualy RTFA. I got it right away and I am usualy the guy asking to have somebody explain the Pun...

Marco Garcia of Omaha?
I would have guessed Marco Garcia of Mexico

I don't know how many of 'em it would've taken to kick my ass, but I know how many they were gonna use!

You're wrong.

The Dread Pirate Robertson got it, though, because it's part of a Ron White act about how the cops were pulling over EVERYONE driving on that particular sidewalk.
 
2010-01-08 02:35:50 PM
or the Ron White bit...

See, I was right! I was wrong.

His name makes him an illegal migrant?
This thread is growing more and more stupid by the minute.
And that gives me hope.
 
2010-01-08 02:36:53 PM
I even read driving East on the Westbound lanes and didn't get the joke at first! Of course, I've been napping at my desk for a few minutes and the cobwebs aren't entire shaken loose yet!
 
2010-01-08 02:37:25 PM
Sorry that my subscription to Ron White monthly ran out and I missed that bit.

I'm so unsophisticated.

Omaha. It's the New Mexico.

He said we're driving the wrong way.
That's silly. How does he know where we're going.
 
2010-01-08 02:39:01 PM
No, I didn't say that his name made his an illegal immigrant.

Yeah, so I reread my post and I didn't see that. What part did you read?
 
2010-01-08 02:39:18 PM
It is profiling because they were pulling over ALL the people going west in the eastbound lane.

/Jokes aren't funny if you have to explain them.
//Seemed obvious to me.
 
2010-01-08 02:39:52 PM
Strained humor aside, the frivolous comma in the headline had me confused.
 
2010-01-08 02:40:45 PM
Are you Ron "Tater Salad" White?
 
2010-01-08 02:41:35 PM

I think he's making reference to the ethnicity of the driver based on the driver's name and how some illegals are being arrested for DUI with a few (very few) activists claiming profiling of illegals committing other crimes besides illegal immigration.

I'll break it down:
ethnicity of the driver based on the driver's name + how some illegals = crimes besides illegal immigration

I bet Gene Masseth would have gotten the joke.

/got nothin'

mtylerjr: Strained humor aside, the frivolous comma in the headline had me confused.

The last impactful sentence, "And profiling is wrong," was, I believed, the gist of the story. But it wasn't. Besides the direction he was driving in, nothing in this headline bears any relevance to the story whatsoever.
Man, this headline is just so bad.
 
2010-01-08 02:43:34 PM
Subby is inferring that there were more than one person going down the wrong way on the interstate.
/headline haz stretch

Phoenix87ta: I bet Gene Masseth would have gotten the joke.

who?
 
2010-01-08 02:45:02 PM
well, nice break down. And if you weren't wrong, you'd be right.
 
2010-01-08 02:45:46 PM
LeroyBourne: Subby is inferring that there were more than one person going down the wrong way on the interstate.

But there wasn't. I've now read this farking article six times.
I just don't get this headline at all, man.
 
2010-01-08 02:46:38 PM
Discrimination against people who go the wrong way on the interstate? How terrible!
 
2010-01-08 02:48:06 PM
I'm really, really, really trying to get the joke here.
I also think the ellipses is the true crime in this headline.
Subby, dude. Help?
 
2010-01-08 02:48:36 PM
Don't give some lawyer an idea on how to get this tool off.
 
2010-01-08 02:49:18 PM
Good to see New Mexico is now exporting DUI to other, underserved parts of the nation.

/Driving here is an adventure!
 
2010-01-08 02:49:27 PM
Bermuda59: Don't give some lawyer an idea on how to get this tool off.

And then there's this reaction to the headline.
Which is why I love Fark.
I guess.

Isn't he Mike Litoris's neighbor? His name is just as funny.

Headline was tired; but tired win.

Thread is a rich vein of fail.

Searching everyone is an unreasonable search.

buzzcut73: Good to see New Mexico is now exporting DUI to other, underserved parts of the nation.

I was talking to a chick from Albuquerque the other day; she claims drunk driving is so bad in NM that the cops tell sober people to stay off the highways at night. That true?

Maybe not Gene, but definitely Haywood.

Seriously, Ron White is actually funny. Why did Larry the Cable guy get famous out of that again?
 
2010-01-08 02:53:25 PM
Wait, they caught the Tater?

I got my GED in Stand-up Comic Appreciation and I concur.
