Race jokes, misogyny jokes, fat jokes, blond jokes, Irish jokes, rape jokes, religious jokes, scat jokes and all manner of grossout jokes are all hilarious.
The best kind of humour offends.

As my sister in law would say "grow a pair".

Oh wait, so now it is misogynist?  :lulz: Which is what I was saying in the first place. It's just a lowest-common-denominator Readers Digest repost kind of joke. TGRR wanted to know what he'd missed, and I told him. But that hurt Badbeast's delicate feelings, apparently.
Speaking on behalf of my feelings, I'd like to make it clear that I'm lolling quite loudly at the very thought of this. If I had any feelings that sensitive, I would donate them to the whiny baby fund.

So, if someone tells a joke about Gays here, and one of the LBGT crowd gets upset about it, it's the LBGT person's fault?

I mean, I want to understand exactly what the standard is, here.

Funny thing is, the only person who was offended was BB, because I to referred to a dumb sexist joke as a dumb sexist joke.  :lulz:

1. It was dumb
2. It was sexist

Seriously, pages of defending it? Wow. :lulz: And now apparently I don't have a sense of humor, either.

Clearly Nigel this is your fault for being a woman and so having to be right all the time.

Wait, I'm the one who was supposedly offended, but here you are, 12 pages and 166 fucking posts later, still banging on about it?
I think I made probably 2 or three of those posts in defence of that joke. Like, 10 pages ago. That's milking it a bit hard for the drama, by anybody's standards.

I will continue to be who I am, if that offends you two then ban me.

Why the hell would we ban you?

When have we ever banned anyone for disagreeing?

Not sure, in my absence it seems PD has changed...

Right.  What the fuck ever.  While you were gone, we all strapped on Nazi armbands and started holding book burnings.

Conversation fucking over.  You guys want this place to turn into totse2?  Go right the fuck ahead.

Joke made. Offense taken. Hilarity resulted.

I know I offended the hell out of Cram yesterday.

Why wasn't that "hilarity"?

I'm just trying to learn what's funny and why, is all.

Well, that was an open attack and not an attempt at humor. I see a big difference there.

So, if I'd honked a bicycle horn and thrown a cream pie while I did it, it would be okay?

And I know PD has changed and we ban people for disagreeing and shit, but I promise I won't in this case.

Are you deliberately being obtuse? You damn well know the difference.
