Wonder how many people get that one.

Why would you wonder that?

'Cause for people our age, it's pretty obvious, but the internet is dominated by people younger than us;  even on this forum, you and I are among the older posters, and that's a pretty old reference as pop culture references go.

C'mon, man...It's a movie poster of an iconic film that has been so overmeme'd out of its ass, it's its own meme.

Great, I just had to listen to Tubular Bells because of this.

I only knew it because I'm a nerd who's played lots of movie poster quizzes on sporcle.

Your sister's German, right? Like, real German, not fake "Kiss Me I'm German" bumper sticker German, right?

Yup.

Hilarious.  Acts like she's fucking from here.  Even the douchebag Canadians here aren't that obnoxious.  Close, but not quite.

Those things piss me off since they are obvious bullshit to anybody who knows anything about names and language and just serve to make the posters look like idiots.

do people really believe these kind of things?  Seriously?  I thought they posted it for fun, for laughs, not because of any truth.  Well, they give away all their private data on Facebook to some foreign company who won't tell you what it does with it, but aside that, I couldn't believe they were that dumb.

Petition signed by my sisters:

https://www.change.org/p/abc-network-save-tim-allen-s-show-last-man-standing?recruiter=510463664&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=autopublish&utm_term=mob-xs-share_petition-no_msg

QuoteSave Tim Allen's Show "Last Man Standing"

Despite consistently high rankings, especially considering the time slot in which it is aired, Tim Allen's show "Last Man Standing" has been cancelled by the network on which it is aired, ABC.

Last Man Standing stands out in the sea of network television sitcoms.  It is a show that appeals to a broad swath of Americans who find very few shows that extol the virtues with which they can identify; namely conservative values.

Last Man Standing was not just selling conservative ideals though, as some of the characters in the show are clearly of the liberal persuasion, yet the characters on the show all manage to get along and take care of one another, despite their politically opposed views.  The show is about more than politics though, it is about family.  In fact, politics is only a secondary part of the show, but one in which many Americans can readily identify.

Last Man Standing is one of the only shows on broadcast television, and the only sitcom, that is not constantly shoving liberal ideals down the throats of the viewers.  And sadly, that is likely the real reason the show has been cancelled.

The intent of this petition/boycott is to attempt to get ABC to renew the show.  With that in mind, I will no longer be watching any ABC shows.  I have cancelled the DVR settings for the other ABC shows that I regularly watch.  If you want to help try to save Last Man Standing, I encourage you to do the same.  Even if you are not willing to boycott the network, but still want to save the show, please sign this petition and share it.  If you do plan to boycott ABC, please say so when you sign.  Let them hear our voices.

I already don't watch any of ABC's crap, Allen included.

I watched Last Man standing. The show has run it's course. The kids actresses are getting to old & the stories being told when kids are ~20 years old on tv is not funny.

Just like what happened to Home Improvement.

Tonitrus

Probably true.  When the storyline shitcans the kids' future/career potentials in order to keep them at home with mommy/daddy, it might not be sending a great message.  :P

Grey Fox

Home Improvement lasted a long time because they started the kids very young.

All I know about Last man Standing was the actress that played the middle daughter had nice cans.
