I can’t find my copy of 1984 and I can’t find the quote online, but we meet Tom Parsons later on in the book after Winston and Julia are pinched. He, Tom, is proud of the fact that his kids turned him in to the thought police for supposedly saying “Down with President Obama…….”…..ummm…”Down with Big Brother” in his sleep.

It actually started with something funny. a pic of a cat who demanded it be called a german shephard.
So the LGBTXRQGHADAFFY community did what they do best, get OUTRAGED!!!!!!!
So Boing Boing thanked the mob for exposing their thoughtcrime and then they
But wait! There’s still more!!!!!!

Is it time to start calling them a “humor” ezine?
Weasel Zippers saw it at the Right Scoop first, they have the complete series. It’s pretty darn funny.
I edited the beginning to try to make it make sense.

I have read the book a number of times, but I had a funny thought watching that
scene in the 1984 version of 1984. They guy playing Tom Parsons nailed that
scene! I remember thinking that he could have added “Thank God I was caught
before I thought something really bad!”
With that came the realization that with all collectivist ideologies comes a threat.
At that point, Parsons would have said anything to save his life. This is the same
as that poor bastard who’s arms tired after applauding Stalin for 45 minutes, or the
guys who were being lead out of the Iraqi parliament after Saddam Hussein began
denouncing random names for treason. Nothing focuses the mind like knowing
that at any moment they can call your name or knock on your door.
That is why they all loved their dear leader!

That’s the endy part, the funny part is that this time it was a freaking cat picture that roused the mob.
Last week it was a shirt, next week it will be the color someone painted their bathroom.
