False. We use oil in our guns and pharma to treat the diseases we get from tobacco.

So we’re(America) just the nickleback of land grabbing?
No, we are pretty good at it in our own right.
Oh I don’t disagree in that but people act like we were the only one and hate on us for it.

"Past" is not a verb. The past tense of "pass" is "passed". This title is spelled correctly
Astrospud
Except 'getting passed us immigration' does not make sense, whereas 'getting past us immigration' does. The title is spelt incorrectly.
Malibloo
It's on 2 different line. Meaning it's likely 2 different sentences. Getting Passed. US immigration.
If 'passed' was intended here, the title should be 'getting passed by us immigration '
Yes, it does make sense. Getting "passed us immigration". As in: "hey, man, i just need to get passed you real quick"
Or add the assumed subject in this title.."getting passed us immigration" becomes "2 men getting passed us immigration"
Passed...passing...to pass...it is never "past"
I'd suggest a dictionary.

The correct way to say that would be "past you"

Fairly sure they mean "Getting passed", as in the verb passed.
The amount of people not realizing this is quite alarming, but I guess it shows imgur's intellect level. Downvote away.
oldguyexlurker
If Getting passed. and U.S. Immigration are a separated things, okay. Otherwise, no. You do not get "passed" anything.
They're on 2 different lines. US immigration is the subtitle. It's 100% correct.
Parsec12
It’s just clunky phrasing and not as frequently used in this context, hence why people aren’t realizing it.
When I see something I figure as clunky, I look it up, instead of immediately presuming I'm correct. x)

But it should read "getting passed by us immigration"
No, that is not a verb in this use. Nothing is being passed whether from one person to another or from one stage to another. They’re talking
ApparentlyIcantcomeupwithavalidusername
It is a verb. They're getting passed by US Immigration to enter.
No, they’re getting past* the point/entity OF immigration, not BY Immigration
Passed is a verb, you complete nincompoop. I've passed the exam. They've passed the US immigration.
Then they should have used the preposition you did. Their mis-usage of "passed" is not uncommon, but still horribly annoying.
It's on 2 different lines. A title and subtitle. How is this so hard to fathom? Getting passed. Australian immigration.
About getting past* a point.
Getting walked, as in someone is walking you. A dog is getting walked. Getting passed, as in someone is passing a thing you did. Y so dumb?
Lol what the fuck, no.
Getting fucked. US idiots. An American asshole fucking you over, because they don't know proper grammar. Learn your own language.
It's a goddamned verb. Someone passing you. As in someone okaying a thing you did. Getting passed by someone. Learn English.

That's still wrong though, it would Passing: U.S Immigration. You don't say you getting passed on a test, you say were passing a test.
But you're being passed BY someone. You're not passing yourself.
Then it would say being passed, not getting passed.
What? No. Getting passed BY someone. Just like getting fucked BY someone. Getting fucked. It's entirely legit.
SnakeEyes152
English is not even my first language but it seems like Americans can't understand even the tiniest bit of British English

I understand British English, I can’t use it but I understand it.
Getting passed as in obviously they are passing the entry exam and if they get passed the can enter the US

For all comments saying past* it’s used as a verb therefore would be passed in English, maybe not American English but they aren’t American
the only way that would make sense is if it said "getting passed by U.S. immigration" but it doesn't
It's a title for a series of skits. They do one for the UK as well
that doesn't make the word choice correct
Yes it fucking does. Getting fucked. US immigration. Correct. Title. Subtitle.
you're an idiot
That doesn't work. 'Getting past' is synonymous with 'getting beyond'. Passed does not work as a synonym of beyond. It is an error here.
Passing an exam isn't moving past an exam, it means succeeding it. It's a verb. It's not synonymous to the adverb past. It's correct.
TheFeralDog
It's a test they mean getting passed on the test? IDK I'm trying to justify it too hard lol
if it said "getting passed by US immigration" it would make more sense
It's a title and subtitle. Getting passed. US immigration. Getting passed. Australian immigration. 2 lines, not 1 sentence.
