RULES:

Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
Absolutely no NSFL content.
Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Here's my translation attempt:

Imagine this as a stereotypical lame stand-up comedy routine.

"Counting Crows? Isn't that just murder by numbers? Thanks, you've been a great crowd! My name's Frances, I'll be here all week."

Cleaner/clearer joke delivery would be:

Counting crows is just murder by numbers.

In my non-comedically talented opinion, of course.

So we call a "flock" of crows a murder. Also, counting crows is a band and murder by numbers is a movie. The joke goes, the band name/concept of literally counting crows is just the movie/concept of murder "flock of crows" by....wait for it...numbers! Counting crows/flock of crows by numbers hardy har funny! I don't know if that helped or made it worse but there is no turning back now.
