She got the lollipops?

WHAAAAAA-OOOWWWWWW

Now this man can certainly boast of exceptional groppage.

See that way back there, Lat" That's called "the line."

Racist to post a picture of an African American with an ebonics caption?

12:10 - you are hereby commanded to attend de-sensitivity training

I like politically incorrect humor but there has to be a generous serving of humor to go with the political incorrectness. This is just not funny.

I think that's a line from Hustle & Flow, in which Terrence Howard plays a pimp.

Over the line. Seriously. Take this pic down.

I love how they didn't adjust the size of his head, either he's some sort of troll or that is the biggest car ever built.

12:29 - You clearly didn't comprehend the instructions in the post, which were obviously directed at you, to "stop reading here."

I gotta agree with 12:18 - it's just not all that funny. I'm not offended or anything, but this one just didn't make me laugh.

Of course, Lat taking a shot at his readers along the way didn't help.

Over the line.

"I love how they didn't adjust the size of his head, either he's some sort of troll or that is the biggest car ever built."

the pic wasn't that funny, but this comment made it all worth it.

Yeah, no humor in the picture ...

However, there is great humor in the fact that the original source is embarrassed about attending UM, but not about finding the picture "amazing" and "awesome."

C'mon, Lat, ATL is above this.

Way to take it to the next level, Lat. You're getting more "elite" every day.

FUnny as hell- you are all PC sheep - Baaaaa

It's official, ATL has jumped the shark. This is about one step below blackface.

that's not funny

Kind of lame after Lat's build-up.

The funniest, most politically incorrect humor I remember comes from 9/11 and a Wall Street trader I know. When people were posting hundreds of "Lost" pictures of people killed in the towers on a fence downtown in the days right after, he thought it would be funny to put up a "Lost Watch" flyer in the middle of them, citing its "great sentimental value" blah, blah. To top it off they used a vaguely Middle Eastern name to call. That still kills me.

1:21 that is hilarious! I love mocking the "tragic events of 9-11-01."

However, Larry David takes the cake in his episode of Curb wherein he confronts the rabbi who claims to have lost a brother on 9-11.

At least the graphic design is well-done. Note the title of Prof. Jones's book in graffiti on the wall. A nice touch.

I also like the man in the wheelchair.

I didn't think I would be offended.

I am.

I think adding the title to his book is the particularly offensive, but its not really the illustrator's fault. Prof Jones is part of the myth now.

I want to cry.

Someone told me the other day how ATL is the new XOXO. Didn't really think that was the case. Until now.

Irreverant? Crass? Politically incorrect? Yes. Humor? No.

ATL just became OTL: over the line.

Irreverant, crass, politically incorrect? Yes. Humor? No.

ATL just became OTL: over the line. Or XOXO 2.0.

I laughed. And, I'm AA and a woman...so I guess I won't tell anyone I thought it was funny. Shhhhh!!! Read next post

it's a joke, and it's funny to anyone with a sense of humor.

cry me a river you guys - whats wrong with showing a black guy soliciting hos, when he is a black guy, and he was picked up for soliciting some hos???? hello???! the guy was arrested for picking up prostitutes! What's the big deal??? that he is talking in moderate urban slang? Would it be better if he was like "You ladies of the night certainly are physically attractive. Indeed!"?

"Would it be better if he was like "You ladies of the night certainly are physically attractive. Indeed!"?"

I think that would have been funnier, or funny. Especially with "Indeed!" at the end.

F'ing hilarious. I think the Photoshopping of the Prof's mug shot over Andy Jackson's on the $20 bill was the best.

I look forward to Al Sharpton picketing the blog and Yale Law demanding that everyone who posts to ATL comment boards be suspended from the practice of law.

Be it said that on October 29, 2007, David Lat showed that he is just like the other Asians who wish they are white and think that their use of stereotypes against blacks makes them closer to being white rather than Asian.

Yes, Professor Jones has issues. But we now know that David Lat has issues as well.

not too subtle, to say the least but the funniest part is definitely the guy in the wheelchair

Congratulations Mr. Lat, it's nice to see they are still teaching racism at Harvard and Yale.

You know it's hard out there for a law professor...

Hey Lat - Chicken, Nut, Bread

Lat, way to pander to the penis ... erm, I mean peanut ... gallery.

dumb and racist

dumb and racist

I like how Disgusted makes a point about racism by using the phrase "just like the other Asians."

wow, its like a critical race theory class in here.

lighten up you douchebags.

ATL: come for the funny; stay for the white guilt.

Well, there's always WSJ's law blog. All the news that ATL has (and some that it doesn't), without having to resort to posting bad photoshop jobs attacking minorities.

It's not offensive, but it's not funny either. Maybe if you're 13 or have the intellect of a UM student ...

9:42: Yeah good call- peace out ATL.

Incredibly tactful... Kick em while their down, eh? Mmmm very professional, and very mature. You probably are, or will be one hell of a lawyer. I am sure you do not have any skeletons in your closet.

Sadly, I doubt that you will ever rise to the level of success that professor Jones has attained. He is a highly sought after speaker with many published works. You will, however, always be able to make a living off your amazing and infallible writing abilities and uncanny sense of humor. Congratulations!!!

To the sad individual who has some pathetic grudge against the University of Miami. I am sorry, but it was your own attitude that got you there. You have no one to blame but yourself. If you wanted to have gone to a "better" law school you should have studied more and not wasted all your time getting drunk. The fact that you are embarrassed that you attend UM law evidences nothing but some childish notion of intellectual elitism.

You are all a bunch of racist pigs...

Wow. A black guy talking in ebonics. That's really cutting edge and hilarious. Oh wait. It's not 30 years ago. Nevermind. HINT: A photoshop being politically incorrect does not, in of itself, make it funny.

The saddest part of this whole thing is the submitter thinks he's intellectually superior to UM Law but considers this picture "amazing" and "awesome."

The people who think this is so hilarious are probably the same ones who tell racist jokes in the privacy of their homes and toss around the "N" word with their buddies after a few drinks. You guys are so cool and edgy with your lack of respect for what is PC. What a bunch of brave, independent thinkers! Anyone who thinks this is funny just isn't very smart.

I didn't find it funny, but offensive? no. Racist? Gimme a break. By your definition, anything negative about a black man is racist. Grow up. Jim Crow died. It ain't 1967 anymore.

this "commemorative graphic" is shameful and idiotic. it's like a lame racist joke told by a moron.

Stupid and Racist

end thread

Damn, that was racist!! No joke. Take the fucking pic down.

right after I clicked past the jump and saw the picture, i thought to myself that Lat's disclaimer had been a little excessive. just post what you want, and let people deal with it.

then i read all of these histrionic comments. what the fuck is the matter with you guys? the reaction is waaaay overboard. and WHY DID YOU CLICK PAST THE JUMP?!

I am a law student at the University of Miami. professor Jones is a highly resepected and distinguished member of the faculty. I can bet my life on one thing. If the person driving the benz would have been a white male such as you ( asshole), he would have never been stopped. Cut the bull shit and get a life. You obviously are an illiterante, not educated jock who has nothing to do with his/her life.

And by the way, who are you to tell me to stop reading? I will read as much as I feel like. F.Y.I...I am white. Don't think I am defending him because I am an African American. I am just not prejudice like you or the cops. Are you part of the KKK or red necks???? Imbecile!!!!

And for the person who is talking shit about the UM law school. Why didn't you transfer after your first year and go to Harvard or Yale? Your grades were not good enough in a school that sucks? That's pretty sad, don't you think?? Did professor Jones flunk you?? Or did you get a C with him? Pathetic Ass!!!
