People lighten up

[zantac666]

People have frgot to laugh now a days.

Asians are mad at abercrombie & fitch for a t-shirt that had two chinese people on it and it said wong's dry cleaners then it goes on to say two wongs make it white.

We have to be so political that we forgot to laugh.

Like what did abraham lincoln say after his 5 day drunk.

I freed who.

I told that to a black-amreican and he laughed he thought it was funny.

While I'm not a fan of racist jokes.. I don't see how a play on the phrase "Two wrongs don't make a right" is offensive ..

But then again it's the age we are living in.. I mean if "The Simpsons" can come under fire for making fun of Brazil, then nothing is safe or sacred.

Wonder who thought up the t-shirts? I thought it was funny, Hell I thought the fightin whiteys were funny. People do need to lighten up a bit.

 

[zantac666]

Your right but i bet you an tell the dfference between hate and joking.

 

[StrawberryPez]

I totally agree....my mom use to always say to me that i was "free white and 21" about making decisions and now you have to be careful where you say stuff like that....what happened to straight up humor in people?

Years ago Richard Pryor did a bit in a club in florida he had the crow yell out nigger (well 90% were white) the crowed yelled out then he said i mean real loud so the yelled again and he said yell it out real loud this time the crowd yelled it real loud then Richard Pror said could you imagin if a brother had just walked in.

A lot of Asians wear Abercrombie and Fitch... so I thought that they would *get* the joke. It's supposed to be funny. I'm part Asian and I wasn't offended. *shrug* I think everyone is trying SO hard to be politically correct that they left their sense of humors in the 90s.

If you want to read jokes there werebooks years ago that did not forget anything or race.

They were totaly gross jokes most were funny some were gross. These were in it.

Why don't mexicans have bar-b-qs.
There beans fall through the grills.

What do you call a man laying on the ground in front of a door with no arms or legs. Mat

I don't see how a play on the phrase "Two wrongs don't make a right" is offensive ..

It's "wongs", not "wrongs". "Wong" is a typical asian name. And it's "white", not "right". White, obviously, refering to a preference for Caucasian features, and clean linen. The shirt says "Two Wongs make it white", the implication being that all asians are the same and they all do laundry and when they do they make everything the proper color of the world -- white.

And there's a huge difference between telling a joke like that in a nightclub (and I've told worse) and putting it on a T-shirt to be worn in public. The first is legal, and a good release. The second is legal, and assholish.

Comedy isn't pretty. Comedy is aggressive. People tend to forget that. Read Sigmund Freud on the subject, for instance.

We make jokes about things that are dark and disturbing to us, things that make us uncomfortable. If people get disturbed and uncomfortable instead of laughing, we shouldn't be surprised.

My dad says that to me ALL the time! And I just turned 39!

The humor is there, like the music in a guitar, you just have to coax it out the right way....

I think depending on what part of the country depends on how you take things. For me I prefer to find a little humor in all things. Better to smile than to frown anyway.

When you learn the proper forms of punctuation and grammar, I'll take you seriously.

Hey Myst, good to see you again.

I think it was more a problem of not reading over things before posting them. Redundant verbs and a missing subject is really more serious of a problem than anyone who can type could make without just being careless.

I have to agree that it's hard to take an un-parseable sentence seriously, though.
