My God, it's full of THREAD BOMBS!

That's kinda the point----if the message is equivalent with the name swapped, then it isn't really funny to begin with because the name is arbitrary. For political humor to work, it has to be specific to the target in some way.
 
Well it is Tharp; he's known for bad thread bombs. All's right with the world. :)

In a different thread (of mine), I recently discovered that not funny is a two way street as Tharpdevenport (instead of letting the thread die in its misery) thought it necessary to deconstruct a mildly amusing joke of mine...
 
:lol: Some people's hot buttons got poked.

Yeah, because I've never said a Tharp joke sucked before. Oh, wait...

I guess we'll just toss this one in with your diagnosis of Palinphobia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Bullshit Mental Disorders (DSM-BS), Doc.

Swap "Bush" for "Obama" in the original and I'm sure everyone would have laughed. :techman:

No, because the "joke" would still be terrible, regardless of who it named. I'm not some simpleton who thinks the mere mention (or picture) that portrays a politician I don't like in a negative way qualifies as funny, unlike some. It actually has to be humorous too. I'm weird like that.

Besides, didn't something like it really happen?!?
Or cars with Obama stickers getting keyed, something like that, there was a thread on it in TNZ i think...
 
Last I recall -- and I beleive this was in affect during the time Locutus of Bored was difinitively here, singling someone out like that was a no no.





Anyway, my inability to sleep tonight lead me to find an e-mail from my mother. Sent is this -- it's so bad and corny at the same time, it'll make youy wonder why, half-way down, you're still reading it:

Those were really dumb, but I must admit I laughed.

I don't want to live in a world where I can't tell you your thread bombs suck. Which is perfectly allowed by the way.

Seriously, every time you post a thread bomb of your own, God impales a panda with a condor, thus further endangering two species. If you won't stop for us, do it for the animals.
