Well, ok. As long as you're not filming it, you wouldn't want to ruin his fine reputation and credibility, now would you?

In Washington, we have a drug-czar, not an anti drug-czar. :huh:

Not funny. What would be funny is if he was found with a hooker. Or with stacks of porn. Or going on a sex tourism jaunt. Beating him up with a giant dong or something doesn't contain much in the way of humor, because it does not contradict his message but could be used to reinforce it. Plus violently violating people just shouldn't be funny. And don't get me wrong---he's no Bruce Vilanch, either. But even so.

If you filmed it, he would appear in a pornographic film. It's not perfect, but it's simplicity is quite charming.

There's no such thing as "should" or "should not" in humour, only "is" and "is not". :devil1:

True. "Is not" it is then. Because it lacks a more complex irony and depends on violence as the basis for the humor? Or maybe I just don't get it.

Yes, but George W. Bush is a Christian Crusader, not a Terrorist Crusader.

Oh my god I couldn't stop laughing. That would be so fuckin hilarious.

Wow, this reminds me of Ann Coulter way too much. "Wouldn't it be funny if group x was horribly slaughtered? lol" :down:

Like on Donnie Darko, when Jim Cunningham is caught with stacks and stacks of child porn in his basement. Something like that happening to this guy (or Falwell, Pat Robertson, etc.) would be extremely funny.

edited to add: I just read his column after posting. What a damn jackass. This guy is the female version of Ann Coulter.

I take it you don't consider "Bad Taste" and "Braindead" comedies then.

I've met people like that. It's quite amazing what not getting laid for two decades can do for your personality...

I'll have to reserve judgement on that one, I'm not familiar with either!

I like some bad taste jokes, just usually not ones that speak of real living people, in a way that advocates violence against them as the "punchline" of the joke itself? That the violence is funny because they are violated, period? Where is the art in that? Bah. Just sayin'. >shrug<
