   The woman is actually protesting for gay rights, and probably more specifically for gay marriage.

   First, notice that she’s holding a rainbow flag. Second, notice the stickers and pins that say “I agree with the SJC”, the SJC being the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts which found in favor of gay marriage.

   So, the comment about Alan Turing is intended to be ironic in the sense that Turing made enormous contributions to fighting Nazism and by extension computing. Most certainly over the heads of most members of the Religious Wrong and apparently over the heads of some Redditers, too…

   how’d you make the sign, dumbass?

   I don’t know if you also noticed the “I Agree with the SJC” sticker on this sign?? It means this sign is being very sarcastic, and she is protesting for equal rights for Gay couples. Do a Google search of “I Agree with the SJC”

   This post was mentioned on Reddit by yellowcoward: Gee, the rainbow flag would imply she doesn’t oppose homosexuality….so yes?

   BTW, Turing was, in fact, totally gay….

   I thought the fact she wants to destroy computers, yet lists a url on the sign was priceless as well

   The sad thing is, a lot of neocons will believe she means what’s on the sign, and possibly agree with the sentiment, if not the suggested action.

    Unfortunately this will go right over the head of anyone anti-gay marriage.

    2 Things.

    It is photo-shopped.
    The protest is definitely anti homo though.

    satire.

    Yeah Turing was gay, contributed massively to the WW2 effort and was chemically castrated for his efforts by the British Government. He then committed suicide. Aren’t we forward-thinking in Europe?!

    …….ok not agreeing with the woman here but yeah…it is a good use of “irony”
    though really the persons the picket sign is meant for REALLY aren’t going to squint to pick out the tiny details…they’re supposed to be witty one-liners or short sweet to the point statements….you could actually counter-produce your fight…..

    just saying….

    Gotta love irony but i bumped to this pic in a computer ar school and showed it to the person who’s sitting next to me, she didn’t get the irony, after i explained it to her we decided to ask other people…17 out of 20 people didn’t get the real message…still this is priceless

    uhhmm.. doesn’t she know that she had that sign printed out with a computer?

    I think that woman is fuckin’ retarded. Like all the retards that give a tumbs up to this thing and who now, think, that Alan Turing invented the computer by himself. Unbelievable. 2012 .. pleasee pleasee, come quickly.

    Win, this sigh should be on a laptop for extra win.

    She is such a homo for using a computer to make that sign.

    I believe the objective of the placard is lost if you have to think this hard to actually get that it’s being ironic. That was not the first message I got from the sign. But maybe that’s just me

    I cannot believe how stupid some of the previous comments are…

    Is it really that hard to understand!
27. Trym on April 27th, 2010 8:34 am
    

    The writing on the sign looks like it has been made on a computer…
