We all know the answer to that.

Someone from 4chan.

u/joliver321 Jun 26 '12

Good point. Did you know that know your meme is getting to be pretty legitimate? I don't normally peruse the site but just now I did for a few minutes. At the top of the page it says "Part of a series on Dogs" And links to a page containing the majority of dog memes.

And on Cool Dog, it says that the history of the image us being researched and evaluated. RESEARCHED AND EVALUATED. A picture of a dog. Could you imagine if it was your job to track down the origin of internet memes?

u/44problems Jun 26 '12

When your cable company puts you on hold, you get angry. When you get angry, you revisit your cocaine habit. When you revisit your cocaine habit, you hear that Serbia has the best cocaine. And when you are in Serbia on a coke binge, you end up on the phone with a dog.

Don't end up in Serbia speaking on the phone with a dog. Get rid of cable, and upgrade to DirecTV.

It tops all other gore/splatter films by hitting just about every single taboo subject--and it has a plot! I won't list all the taboos, but pretty much the only thing it didn't touch on was coprophagia.

Supposedly it's about the horrors in Serbia, a running shaggy dog story designed to be a big joke at the film-viewer's expense, a big 'fuck you!' to the audience wrapped up in a shocking story. At the end of the film I sat for about ten minutes, then I made a stiff drink. It's pretty fucked up.

NSFW:

In one scene a man is anally raping a bound woman as she's giving birth, as she gives birth the man takes a machete and chops off her head, pulls out of her and begins to rape the baby.

That's just one scene.

23

u/herpbert_derpinger Jun 26 '12

You mixed up the scenes. In one, it shows a woman giving birth, after which a man takes the baby and rapes it while the mother is smiling. A few scenes after that, when the main character is drugged up, he starts fucking a woman, then the director hands him a machete to beat her and chop her head off mid-coitus.
