    The “Helen Keller punched me in the face once!” sticker seems to indicate that this is a joke.

    One sticker says Helen Keller isn’t real and the other one says Helen Keller punched him in the face.

    So which is it

    This looks to be a joke but Helen Keller denialism isn’t really new. People have speculated (almost certainly incorrectly) that Anne Sullivan, Helen’s teacher/companion, was actually behind all of Helen’s accomplishments and that Helen wasn’t actually capable of communication at all for quite a while.

      Those people are not bright.

      I was going to call them dumb, but.

      Anyways, one of the reasons they chose Keller for this conspiracy is her role in founding the NAACP and in helping black women get access to contraception.

      Just plain old ableism. Keller was quite accomplished and they can’t accept that someone with her disability was capable.

    These bumper stickers are marketing for a podcast, I don’t remember which. They are satire.

      I really hope this is like “birds are not real” where the intent is that the joke is so over the top it’s obviously satire.

      But we just can’t tell anymore because some people believe the absolutely most bonkers things.

        How dare you imply “birds are not real” is not real.

        It’s not, she was a prominent figure in women’s liberation, the path to the ADA, and the early civil rights movement, so they just lie about her. Most aren’t this brand of crazy, assuming this example isn’t satire, but it’s a real thing.

    This looks like a conspiracy a person takes up when all the rest are too overwhelming to commit to.

      Or when all the major ones were taken, so you have to dig through the conspiracy bargain bin.

    Good fucking Lord that is one hell of a fucking ugly car. It looks like a car fell down and sandwiched another one.

      It has Fiat Multipla vibes, but on the back instead of the front.

      Hey! I happen to own that car! It’s not but that bad… but you do have a point… thanks for putting words on how the back looks… I also think the multipla seems like a reasonable car, and I can appreciate the design (that I assume is very functional)

      Edit: I own a car LIKE that, not this specific one…

    It’s not insane to think that her caretaker might have made it all up for money, but it is insane to make that your personality.

    I’m going to tell myself this is some multi-layered take on the Clerks 2 Anne Frank/Helen Keller joke, taken too far. It’s the only way it makes even a little sense to me.
