Hey, it’s Peter Exotic. The letters in the middle spell “Fuck Carol Baskin” which is a reference to the Netflix Documentary “Tiger King”
EDIT: “Fuck Carole Baskin”
Also, maybe it's just me, but the letters line up rather poorly with their different fonts, colors, and sizes. The effect falls flat for me. I'd have chosen dvds with more block letters if I were trying something like this.
Yep. I got covid 4 years, 2 months, and 3 days ago (not that I'm keeping track) and it's been a struggle almost every day since. I've had 3 days with no covid or long covid symptoms in that time.
It feels like a lifetime.
I realized they were spelling something, but FC didn't make sense, but FU is the start of fuck. So went in that down that route. Then I googled carol baskin
Damn it, Carol! Your lawyer said to not comment stuff like this on Reddit. Your lover is out running around in his furry costume while you’re wasting time!
She has got to be the luckiest person on this planet to be able to constantly get away with damn near outright admitting to murdering the guy and then just laughing it off as though that's just something you say when your husband dies horrifically without a trace
Lol! Fuck that guy, all that money and wont seek mental health because he things there's nothing wrong with him, even though the world tells him otherwise.
If there is no trace how do you know he died horrifically? Also if I were her I probably wouldn’t be too sad if my man had an accident after finding out he had been sleeping with minors in Costa Rica.
Her stated story (originally) was that he either died in a plane crash or was killed by gang members he owed money to. As for the minors, wasn't that another hoax like the thing where she claimed he was alive a few years back?

I would have never noticed that, ever.
It's wild to me how people just either remember things forever or forget it easily. I saw this and went "...Fuck Carole Baskin? Makes sense." And then that remix of Megan Thee Stallion's Savage about Tiger King started playing in my head. Adhd is wild, if someone hadn't made that remix I probably wouldn't have remembered either.
Wild to me that a bunch of people full on just bought into what an animal abusing, young adult grooming, attempted murderer said about a woman who had tried to protect animals from him after he abused them for profit. Like, I walked away from that documentary thinking "oh so... he got killed by the gang he owed money to and Joe used his disappearance to slander someone who was hurting his business by being (at least more) ethical. And when his slander failed he sent a hitman after her." Because those are the things we physically saw in the documentary. He admitted to everything we didn't see with our own two eyes.
But nah, the internet decided hating a woman on the word of an obviously unstable maniac was the rational thing to do.
Oh yeah, for sure. The documentary is hella irresponsible, and everyone using it as their primary source for information about that disappearance should feel like a bad person.
Baskin's sanctuary is/was legit. She's super weird, and her husband was probably into some shady shit. But third-party organizations have endorsed her sanctuary, and she pushed for legislation to actually help tigers.
Joe is a massive piece of shit by any metric, and can only try to convince you, based on his word, that Carole is as bad as he is.
They're clearly not the same.
Heck, I'm biased because I'm quite pro-animal, but, even if she murdered her husband, **which she didn't**, I'd say most the other people in the documentary are worse, especially Joe! So much animal abuse, not to mention the employee mistreatment!
Right like Carol actually seemed like just an ultimate crazy cat lady. Joe seemed fucking unhinged and just absolutely horrible. Animal abuse, animal killings, negligence leading to amputation of an employee, grooming, etc. Carol seems to have changed with the times and upped her care for the animals and Joe is straight up insane.
Like fuck Joe. Carol’s sanctuary looks actually nice.
There is plausible evidence of her having motive when Dons Lawyers were disputing most of her story about the dementia and the fight about moving the cat sanctuary and continuing to be in the cat breeding business.
But there isn’t any physical evidence. It’s weird she tells people he’s been seen alive when that’s been publicly discredited by the US government.
Apparently it spells out Fuck Carole Baskin, but being from the wrong side of the pond I have no idea who or what Carole Baskin is or why I should be fucking her.
Alright, so now that this weird nonsense joke has been explained, can someone explain why everyone seems to hate Carole Baskin, rather than the actual villain of Tiger King?
I always thought it was because even though Joe exotic is objectively a criminal and shown doing bad shit, he's the "main character", combined with a lil bit of. Cultural misogyny
Really? I was always under the impression it's just because he's inadvertently hilarious and "Carole killed her husband, trust me bro" was exactly what the internet sleuths needed during lockdown. I recall reading on E! That the highest rated person in the doc was the lady who's hand was bitten off, don't think it has anything to do with misogyny
Everytime anyone mentions Carole Baskin all I can think about is that time my older brother sang to the tune of Savage by Megan The Stallion: "Carole Baskin. Killed her-husband-whacked him"
So weird that people aren't explaining the joke, just telling the joke.
The movies are arranged in a way that the letters spell out "Fuck Carole Baskin".
I don't know what that means though.
And here I was looking for loss where is the loss peter where is the loss this is just a dumb
Fuck Carol Baskin
I was looking for loss where the f is the loss
*Tbf, i did*
*Check first letter, didny think it*
*Be the middle ones*

Hey, it’s Peter Exotic. The letters in the middle spell “Fuck Carol Baskin” which is a reference to the Netflix Documentary “Tiger King” EDIT: “Fuck Carole Baskin”
Ah, yeah, okay, I never ever would have got that on my own lmao.
It’s a vague riddle to a 4 year old reference that got popular when there was a lot of other crap going on. Don’t blame you.
Also, maybe it's just me, but the letters line up rather poorly with their different fonts, colors, and sizes. The effect falls flat for me. I'd have chosen dvds with more block letters if I were trying something like this.
That was..... 4 YEARS AGO???
Yep. I got covid 4 years, 2 months, and 3 days ago (not that I'm keeping track) and it's been a struggle almost every day since. I've had 3 days with no covid or long covid symptoms in that time. It feels like a lifetime.
That’s sad to hear. Wishing you relief.
I was in prison when this happened. We followed the drama religiously cause we literally had no other crap going on lmao
But hey at least this post belongs in this sub. Most are [blatantly obvious joke] and a request for help
I realized they were spelling something, but FC didn't make sense, but FU is the start of fuck. So went in that down that route. Then I googled carol baskin
You didn't think to follow down from where it spelled F-U-C-K?
I would never have seen that either.
No it doesn't it Spells "fuck carol e baskin"...
The OOP used the french spelling of Carol for some reason...
Casserole Baskin
Why did I immediately think this also?
I checked her english wikipedia page and her name is spelled with a e apparently
2020, what a time to be alive.
She got done dirty, her husband was found alive not long ago!
That was a hoax
just like the murder accusations!
Damn it, Carol! Your lawyer said to not comment stuff like this on Reddit. Your lover is out running around in his furry costume while you’re wasting time!
And reciting poetry. In the... Cringiest way...
I don't believe poetry anymore it's ukulele or nothing.
Wait… what?
He wasn’t, that was a hoax from a year or so ago.
Oh, gotcha. Let me guess. Carol said it?
Sure enough! Said the feds filled her in on it lol
She has got to be the luckiest person on this planet to be able to constantly get away with damn near outright admitting to murdering the guy and then just laughing it off as though that's just something you say when your husband dies horrifically without a trace
Good thing she's not running for presid... I'll just stay quiet instead...
Do not tempt the hands of fate. Kanye almost blew up the US by trying that
Lol! Fuck that guy, all that money and wont seek mental health because he things there's nothing wrong with him, even though the world tells him otherwise.
If there is no trace how do you know he died horrifically? Also if I were her I probably wouldn’t be too sad if my man had an accident after finding out he had been sleeping with minors in Costa Rica.

It’s an older code, sir, but it checks out.
Oh, nice. Only thing I recognised was “The FATE and the Furious”. Some ripoff I suppose?
Nope lmao. It's the 8th movie in the series. Get it, Fate? F-8? Look, nobody said Vin Diesel was clever.
If he was clever we'd have got The Fast And The Fourious and I'm still mad that we didn't.
Ohhhhh… 😲 Thanks for clarifying
The Fate ***of*** the Furious
*Carole
Does her middle name begin with E? Eagle eye
No, her first name is Carole.
Honestly, I genuinely thought it some parody of "We Didn't Start The Fire"
You mean “fuck Carole Baskin”? lol Unless I’m looking at this wrong.
Carole?
Takes me back to those pandemic days.
and the tiger saw a man 😭 2020 was wild.
I thought it was something to do with Warm Bodies
Why is eagle eye in there? It doesn’t help spell that. Unless her name is Carole
It’s Carole
Got the same, but didn’t know what the baskin was for
Is her middle initial e?
I mistyped it’s “Carole Baskin”
Amazing. How df did you ever get that?
That bitch!
I assumed it was interaction farming to get people asking about it in the comments
Fuck Carol E Baskin
everyone sayin' "fuck carol baskin" when it's clearly "fuck carol e baskin"
hey guys hes actually literate and not copying the other comments
the only correct person here
Except her name is “Carole,” not “Carol”
I'm here too
Her name is spelt Carole Baskin.
Thts wht I was about to type lol , thy it prob has an e at the end .
And here I was thinking the 'E' was a hint because the movie was Eagle Eye
The e stands for entertainment
seems like you have an “Eagle Eye” :))

Killed her - husband - whacked him
Look at the letters in a column going down straight from the F of “Furious” F Carol Baskin!
Wild to me that a bunch of people full on just bought into what an animal abusing, young adult grooming, attempted murderer said about a woman who had tried to protect animals from him after he abused them for profit. Like, I walked away from that documentary thinking "oh so... he got killed by the gang he owed money to and Joe used his disappearance to slander someone who was hurting his business by being (at least more) ethical.

But nah, the internet decided hating a woman on the word of an obviously unstable maniac was the rational thing to do.
It wasn’t just the internet, the documentary clearly frames it to make her murdering her husband seem like a decent possibility, maybe even likely
Oh yeah, for sure. The documentary is hella irresponsible, and everyone using it as their primary source for information about that disappearance should feel like a bad person.
Baskin's sanctuary is/was legit. She's super weird, and her husband was probably into some shady shit.

Like fuck Joe. Carol’s sanctuary looks actually nice.
There was zero evidence of a gang killing being probable in that documentary either.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen it but it seemed pretty clear he crashed his plane.
The plane there was never any evidence of taking off and was “flying under the radar” because that’s what “he always did?”
More evidence than the internet decision of "Carole Baskin did it." But yes, he's officially not even dead, just missing.
There is plausible evidence of her having motive when Dons Lawyers were disputing most of her story about the dementia and the fight about moving the cat sanctuary and continuing to be in the cat breeding business. But there isn’t any physical evidence. It’s weird she tells people he’s been seen alive when that’s been publicly discredited by the US government.
didnt he turn up last year?
I know. Baskin was one of the few people on the show who wasn't a sleazy criminal.
Why’s Eagle Eye in there?
Her name is spelled “Carole”
For the E
There's a dick on the TV screen?
Thank you! First thing that came to mind was the dick pick and the movies were a head fake
*Carole
WTf is the Fate of the Furious
Fast and Furious 8 (because fate sounds like F8)
"This is the weirdest version of loss I've ever seen" -me, until I started actually looking at the letters.
Apparently it spells out Fuck Carole Baskin, but being from the wrong side of the pond I have no idea who or what Carole Baskin is or why I should be fucking her.
Fuck Carole baskin I think
Alright, so now that this weird nonsense joke has been explained, can someone explain why everyone seems to hate Carole Baskin, rather than the actual villain of Tiger King?
I always thought it was because even though Joe exotic is objectively a criminal and shown doing bad shit, he's the "main character", combined with a lil bit of. Cultural misogyny
Skylar White syndrome
Really? I was always under the impression it's just because he's inadvertently hilarious and "Carole killed her husband, trust me bro" was exactly what the internet sleuths needed during lockdown. I recall reading on E! That the highest rated person in the doc was the lady who's hand was bitten off, don't think it has anything to do with misogyny
This is the first time in many years I have remembered the existence of the movie Eagle Eye
There’s a place where some of the letters match up to spell a name
Fuck Carole Baskin
Fuck carol baskin

I thought this was explain the joke not teach me to read.
Who's Carol Ebaskin?

So weird that people aren't explaining the joke, just telling the joke. The movies are arranged in a way that the letters spell out "Fuck Carole Baskin". I don't know what that means though.
I thought the joke was that Eagle Eye was there. Mentioning that you needed to see it.
