Pictures created by people who knew full well how they could be interpreted. For pictures to fit in here there needs to be an element of plausible deniability, although it can be a tenuous one...

Of course they knew. It’s a Facebook joke. Why would the Macomb Daily News call itself MaCumb?

Idk.. "Dicks Blown Off at Macomb Mall" is short, sweet and keeps you wondering.

I've been waiting for years for the US to name one of our hurricanes, Richard. I know they won't name it Dick, but Richard's good enough because Dick is the nickname for Richard and we would all love the headlines. Assuming, of course, that it was a mild hurricane that didn't do much damage, but just blew through the area.
