This one is a doozy. I was hoping to find something funny and cute in an innocent way. This thing is just damn disturbing. I chose to search Google Image Search for the phrase tax man because I happened to be listening to the Beatles song with that same title. The following is the 14th result of that search:

The above image is from http://www.cnn.com/US/9702/07/irs/

Oh dear heavenly body, this just isn’t right. I was considering taking the annying little “(CNN)” thing out but you know what? CNN can have this picture. In fact, I want them to claim this as their property! That way nobody can blame me for creating this crime against humanity.
Now, I’m not an evil little thankless bastard…most of the time…I think old people are great. They’re nice, they know a lot, and if they hadn’t done what they did, none of us would be here. Sure they smell funny sometimes and maybe you have to yell so loud that it hurts your throat just so they will hear you. Still, old people are good people.

In fact, I bet you even this old lady is a nice lady. However, I am still going to make fun of her. Why? Isn’t it obvious? That picture is so bad, I might have to take a break from writing this just to compose myself!
I guess I should at least pretend to analyze this picture some, even though there isn’t much to it. If you look closely (which I advise against doing), you can tell that the old lady is probably wearing earings, a necklace, and lipstick. This brings up the whole issue of why do old ladies even try to look nice? Luckily, most old men realize that they’re old and they look like crap and there’s nothing they can do. Old ladies need to realize this. A little jewelry here and a little makeup there really doesn’t help hide the massive amount of wrinkles and other features that age has given them.
The page that this image came from is just a CNN page talking about how stupid the IRS is. At first, I was confused because the picture wasn’t anywhere on the page. However, I just skimmed it and found the link to it. It so happens that this old lady is dead. She died in 1988. That’s pretty sad. Maybe I shouldn’t publish this Goomage. Oh well, too late.

Don’t end up like this old lady! Send in your idea(s) for a Goomage today! Just send an e-mail to goomage@fedorpheux.com and hopefully I’ll use your idea(s)!
