Roger Ebert Replaced With Terrifying Mannequin

Los Angeles- Film critic Roger Ebert has been been replaced with a grotesque, inhuman puppet-monster.

Pictured: undeniable photographic proof of evil.​

Reports indicate the living affront to god has spent the last several days shambling about the city and attending film premiers, continuing the sick masquerade that this is actually the well-known critic for the Chicago Sun-Times.

"It's cancer, you tremendous dickholes!" shouted the grimacing troll as screaming citizens fled and threw garbage in a vain attempt to appease its unimaginable appetites.

If you see film critic Roger Ebert, do not approach or look directly at him: reports indicate that eye contact will likely allow the alien life-force that animates his form to enter and infect his next unwitting host.

I agree, this is sooo offensive!!!

I agree with the others. Having lost my father, a brother and several friends to cancer I don't see it as a subject fit for jokes or satire. An ill considered thread my friend.

As the son of a cancer survivor, I also find this to be in poor taste. The man can't help how he looks.

Actually, Roger Ebert’s new jaw has made recent unfortunate news worth discussing ...
(which may have been the inspiration for C7’s seemingly untoward post to begin with)

Facebook calls Roger Ebert's blog 'abusive content'

By Helen A.S. Popkin

Roger Ebert, movie critic, cancer survivor and undeniable king of the Twitter bon mot, publically debuted his new prosthetic jaw on a blog post Facebook blocked as "abusive content."
Ebert, who returns to TV Friday with the premiere of his PBS show, "Ebert Presents at the Movies," lost his jaw in 2006 during his battle with thyroid cancer. "After surgery, I studiously avoided looking at myself in a mirror," Ebert writes in the blog post, though he has been candid about his radically changed appearance, most famously appearing last year on the cover of Esquire magazine.
Titled "Leading with my chin," the Jan. 19 blog post details Ebert’s two–year journey with David J. Reisberg, a specialist in facial reconstruction, in the development of the jaw prosthetic. The post includes images, though none of a medically graphic nature.
In a note introducing the blog post, as well as its absence, Ebert writes on his Facebook page:
In which I receive a great deal of help in making the best of things. My new blog entry has been idiotically blocked by Facebook for "abusive content." You can read it here: http://j.mp/dVM9Iw
According to Facebook’s Help section, the social network identifies the following types of behavior as abusive:
• Feature overuse: There are limits to restrict the rate at which you can use features on the site. Overusing features is not allowed because it may make other people feel annoyed or unsafe.
• Unwanted contact: Our systems detect when friend requests you send to others are being ignored at a high rate and volume. Using Facebook to contact many people you don't know is not allowed because it may make them feel threatened, harassed, or unsafe.
Facebook is looking into the matter, according to a spokesperson for the social networking site who responded to Technolog via e-mail. Attempts to contact Ebert are unsuccessful at the time of this post, which will be updated as information unfolds.

I'm always amazed at where, and how vehemently, people draw the line.

lol I find the thread in poor taste just like everyone else, but I don't think it personally offends anyone so I don't think there's reason for the mods to remove it. I guess, if you wanted to be nit-picky, you might be able to say it's a GR violation, but it's not a violation against any members. I think we can all move on with our lives now. lol
