    I literally did, and came up with pictures of pink flowers. Did you?

    It works, I guess, as a reference to blues clues, which I clearly missed having never seen it, but it emphatically does not work as a reference to blood.

    edit: No, actually, I googled “magenta blues clues” and came up with a picture of a dog a completely different color than blood. If the point of the children’s show is to teach children colors, then it failed completely in the author’s case.

    Also, you didn’t use facetious correctly when you pettily blocked that other user for pointing out you weren’t using facetious correctly.

      Holy shit HOW do you not know magenta is a color like pink or purple lmao, the dog is named Magenta because it is the color magenta, kinda like how the only other fuckin dog in the show is named BLUE cuz it’s FUCKIN BLUE.

      A magenta colored flower isn’t out of the cards when you Google the word of a pinkish color.

      Your fists don’t go instantly blood red when you punch someone, unless you’re doing something very wrong, there are various shades of pink (e.g.s hot pink and MAGENTA)

      Either smoke a joint and calm the fuck down and try to come to terms with the fact that you’re ignorant instead of getting angry, or go back to first grade and learn colors again.

        I insist, I get what the joke was supposed to be, and the joke did not get there. It was a bad joke, bad wordplay, poorly crafted. I won’t be cowed by a crowd of stoners(?) into believing that magenta is somehow like the color of bruises or blood to support, in your words, an “article and joke [that] was rather mid.”
