Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

I still hate Bush, but credit where it's due: that was a good dodge.

Complete genius at dodging shoes.

I'd never pick him to lead, but you can be damn sure I'd pick him for my dodgeball team!

If you can dodge a shoe, you can dodge a ball.

You can tell he has mastered the art. It's unfortunate he took so many wrenches to the head to get to this level.

(Actual photo context: Iraqi journalist, Muntadhar al-Zaidi, threw his shoe in a sign of extreme disrespect at George yelling "this is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people, dog."

The greeting as a liberator bit is a callback to Dick Cheney's infamous "my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.")

Real talk: I'm still kinda pissed he was able to dodge them both.

I think between the Simpsons, and Futurama, we could develop a meme/references based language 😂
