My BSOD parody on the current government shutdown

Last edited Sat Oct 12, 2013, 07:17 AM - Edit history (1)

This is my parody of the famous Blue Screen of Doom (BSOD), which is about the current government shutdown and an open message to congressmen to reach a compromise and stop acting like a spoilt child by holding the America's economy at hostage in order to reach their own goals.

The GOP lost two presidential elections and a supreme court case trying to "stop" Obamacare. They need to get over it.

The "compromise" is for them to do their damn jobs. They don't get to hold the country hostage every time there's a law they don't like.

Because they had prevented the President to come to my country (Malaysia), by shutting down the government.

That's my point. Not directed at you, but when I see the word "compromise" my hair goes up on end, because this isn't about compromise.

Someone had a really good point on that matter:

Because it will allow people to transmit this image easier, thus allowing our message to the congressmen to be heard.

Some sites, which regularly list vetted iReport, had listed my erroneous description along with my iReport. So, to prevent further misunderstandings on my iReport and the image parody, I would clarify that the text below is my corrected version of my iReport description.

This is my parody of the famous Blue Screen of Doom (BSOD), which is about the current government shutdown and an open message to congressmen to reach a compromise and stop acting like a spoilt child by holding the America's economy at hostage in order to reach their own goals.


I had corrected this error on the iReport page, but other sites had listed my erroneous description, so this clarification is intended for the general public and medias for reference.
