Pontius Pilot (history, logs, vote page)

Featured picture candidate

The Pontius Pilot is infamous for some functionality issues. One typical complaint is that the Microsoft Crucifixion program often crucified incorrect and important data, such as the Messiah. Thankfully for its users, the file would miraculously reappear two days later after descending to the Recycle Bin, not three as some mathematically illiterate biblical scholars would tell you.

I think the thing that should be added is from the article: "Thankfully for its users, the file would miraculously reappear three days later, after descending to the Recycle Bin." Also to explain the joke, the file is named Jesus.chr (Jesus Christ) and the user of the Pontius Pilot (the man who sent Jesus to his death) is deleting the file and leaving the Barabbus file (just as Pilate did)... IMO, it is great, and if you are truly satirists and this is a satire website then ALL subjects should be fine to parody, not just SOME. If someone here was a Scientologist and saw my last featured image, they would no doubt say it was offensive and that it made fun of their beliefs and although I am Christian and find this image making light of my religion's savior, the overall irony and topicality of the image wins my vote over offensiveness because EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE OFFENDED BY SOMETHING HERE, WHY SHOULD WE PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT WILL BE OFFENSIVE? Not to mention that it's funny naming it the "Pontius Pilot" -- LinkTheGameFreak Bitch here19:51, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Comment Nobody has said they find it offensive. The objections have been 1) "I don't get the joke," 2) size issues and 3) Jesus jokes are getting old on Uncyclopedia (and let's face it, we've had more than our share). —rc (t) 20:15, 23 April 2006 (UTC) ah I took pi's comment as he found it offensive -- LinkTheGameFreak Bitch here22:12, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Weak for.

Thus it is accurate to say that the file descended. -- » Sir Savethemooses Grand Commanding Officer ... holla atcha boy» 22:32, 29 April 2006 (UTC) For - What the hell.--Surreal Hamster For - Despite, or perhaps because of, the way that it ridicules, demeans, offends and oppresses a handy piece of portable technology --Hardwick Fundlebuggy 23:00, 29 April 2006 (UTC) Joek1010 LeoFed epynephrin Ianweller Witch Doctor Bldnghrtlbrl Marco Raimey James Blond That Twigger Guy §ǚρωξλ£μĦΦφ≈€ƏξßÐÆØΞ Feureau ForestAngel Robertodole 06:35, 10 April 2008 (UTC) This could be better (as suggested below), but as it is, *thumbs_up!* Definitely some thought behind this one.--The Nails 04:07, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Against Votes: 11.5	Against As a Jew, I don't understand what the joke is. Plus the caption should say "Circumsizing"...that would be funny. And maybe it should be in Latin...as per the caption. --The Zombiebaron 18:08, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Weak against. Funny? Yes, but size issues kill this on the front page.--<<>> 19:01, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Agaisnt ENOUGH WITH THE JESUS JOKES! --PiOfFive 19:12, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Comment Please explain how this is a Jesus joke. More than anything it's a Pontius Pilate joke. If you read the article, you'll see I make fun of Pontius Pilate for letting the wrong guy get killed. In fact, I got the idea for the article whilst at a Good Friday service. Not even kdding. -- » Sir Savethemooses Grand Commanding Officer ... holla atcha boy» 20:13, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Against I love it! It is really funny, but it relies on small text. Small text in featured images just doesn't cut it. --Mosquitopsu 03:04, 24 April 2006 (UTC) Against: Sorry STM, it's too tall, won't be legible when shrunk and I'm just not feeling it. --Sir gwax (talk) 14:00, 24 April 2006 (UTC) Against: Boring --Alan Truism 20:21, 25 April 2006 (UTC) Great caption, but don't feature.  Sir Dawg  cun | tlk | vdp  00:35, 27 April 2006 (UTC) Please, please, please,No more jesus jokes. -- Kaizer the Bjorn takkun (nya nya) (1961 model!) Check out T61! 12:34, 28 April 2006 (UTC) For the love of all that is holy this is not a "Jesus joke", especially not one in the vein of most Uncyclopedia Jesii jokes. Just because it mentions Him doesn't mean it's a Jesus joke. -- » Sir Savethemooses Grand Commanding Officer ... holla atcha boy» 19:01, 28 April 2006 (UTC) 02barryc MoneySign sage --Algorithm 01:17, 29 September 2007 (UTC) 1/2 against I just don't get it...Gale5050 aka Andrew5 let's talk!

Comments	Featured I used the original image because Mooses and another user preferred it, whereas only one person implied that they preferred the second version. —rc (t) 03:39, 30 April 2006 (UTC) Against. It's well done 'n all (seriously), but needs the context to reach its full funny... --~ sin($) tan(€) 17:43, 23 April 2006 (UTC) I'm retracting my (ignorant) vote, as I'm sure more biblical knowledged people will find this image hilarious. --~ sin($) tan(€) 04:44, 25 April 2006 (UTC) Comment Is the new caption better? Or should I keep the old one?-- » Sir Savethemooses Grand Commanding Officer ... holla atcha boy» 20:53, 23 April 2006 (UTC) I wouldn't vote for it with this caption, it's too close to explaining the joke.--Rataube 21:03, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Just to confuse it further, I like the longer caption.  :)--<<>> 21:21, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Comment - I recommend changing "start" to "initio", PNG (Portable Network Graphic) to CGG (Confertus Cassius Graphicus) and "Crucifying..." to "Tollens in Crucem...", putting a latin date on instead of the time (eg. a.d. VIII Kal. Mai.) --The Rt. Hon. BarryC MUN (Symposium!) Sigh. Double Sigh. 17:10, 24 April 2006 (UTC) Comment The image is now about the size of the Grand Theft Auto: Vatican City image and doesn't(in my opinion) lose too much of its effectiveness. Discuss. -- » Sir Savethemooses Grand Commanding Officer ... holla atcha boy» 20:08, 24 April 2006 (UTC) How about the bottom version? Is it better in terms of size issues? Personally I think the older version is smoother and works despite its size. -- » Sir Savethemooses Grand Commanding Officer ... holla atcha boy» 02:12, 26 April 2006 (UTC) Do you have a PNG of this from the original PSD because it would definitely be clearer at a smaller size if it was a PNG -- LinkTheGameFreak Bitch here 14:51, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
