I don’t think there can be much serious question about this.

I don't think so either. John D'oh pretty much nailed it, as he so often does:


"I've always found it interesting how everybody hates political correctness until their ox (or in this case sacred cow) is gored."

I would never laugh at the Queen. By the way, she's right here under my desk if you want to say hi.

Jon, I said 'The Queen', not 'a queen'.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

I did too, but I have to side a bit with Copper that I have this aversion to the F word. I'm unhappy to say, I've been finding it slipping into my into my own vocab. I guess that should be by NY resolution - to clean my potty mouth.

I don't recommend Irish Spring for cleaning. I had my mouth cleaned out with that a lot, when I was a kid... I used to hate their fcuking commercials, too. Bastards... Their soap tastes like SH!T!!!! :cursing: :veryangry:

:lol: Irish Spring! That's enough to gag me just smelling it. I was thinking more along the lines of a minty gargle.

You're really trying to make an issue out of something that just isn't there.

The point of my post was the "F" word is something other than politically incorrect.

It is "rude, vulgar or trashy", that's the beginning and end of my point.

I guess you are trying to avoid being called "rude, vulgar or trashy" by association. Too late. You posted it, why not just stick it out and take the heat.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Some body please photoshop out the "f" work and replace it with the "s" word or something. Then D'Oh's PR guy can post it on his cubical wall without getting transferred to IT Support.

I don't think politically correct is factor here. I think the language used is. The cartoon could have been made at least tackily amusing without resorting to that language.

Crudeness/PC aside, I think the original cartoon would have been a lot more funny if Joseph was saying something along the lines of "the reason we can't get a room is because you keep saying you're a f****** virgin."

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

It had all the heavy-handedness of a Hustler cartoon, which I suspect it was.

But the deophilic reference was key to the humor!


If I were to photoshop it to read "...made love to god, missionary style, purely for procreation, not pleasure" than Copper would be rolling on the ground laughing.

Actually - depending on how you define ****ing and immaculate conception - it could still be there. At least that's what I thought when I posted it.

Another problem Phlebas, your modification still contains the "F" word, in all its objective offensiveness.

Politically incorrect is not the same as being emotionally truncated and relationally impaired.

I think you suffer from the same issue Copper does. Politically incorrect jokes are supposed to offend other people, not you.

If you value nothing then nothing can be mocked.

So what again is the point of mocking something that someone else values?

I generally do it to irritate them. It works a bloody treat. He who laughs last didn't get the joke.

Yeah, that's generally the idea, isn't it? I'm afraid I don't get what IT's saying. Isn't cheap laughs at the expense of others the point?

Only when atheists and liberals do it. Conservative Christians laugh at us because they love us and want to save us.

I think that qualifies as a working definition of emotionally truncated and relationally impaired. :thumb:

How so? What qualities of the emotionally truncated or relationally impaired would coincide with telling jokes at the expense of others? I don't see the correlation.

I've always wondered about that... What am I being saved FROM? Even the Pope, in a Time Magazine interview, stated that Hell is not a physical place, so much as it is, a state of being separated from God. In Psalms though, David writes, "Even though I make my bed in Sheol (Hell), You are there."

If there's a such thing as an eternal Hell of suffering and anguish, wouldn't that be a perfect God's admission of failure? A Cosmic Rubbish Bin. Seems to be a direct contradiction to the verse, "He who has begun the perfect work within you, shall see it through until the day of its completion."
