"1 out of 4 ain't bad"
date: October 10, 2005
Astropuff, I really loved yours. Short and sweet...and hilarious.
I didn't care for the other ones. Not that I found the one about terrorism offensive, but there was just no effort put into it, and THAT is truly offensive. But as far as everyone getting so bent out of shape, they all need to calm down. It's not exactly in good taste, but its not like HE commited an act of violence. Geez. I'm reading some of these comments and they're so freakin stupid. Let me just sum up for these nimrods:
-Not all (or even or even more than a remote percentage of) Muslims are terrorists.
-Not all Middle Eastern or South Asians (or even more than a remote percentage) are terrorists.
-Making light of a terrorist act doesn't make you a terrorist.
-Making light of a terrorist act doesn't make you Muslim, Middle Eastern or South Asian.
-Making a bad flash doesn't make you a terrorist.
-Having a sense of humor won't get you into hell (I'm pretty sure. Or else I'm screwed too)
-Wishing that the author's family be killed in a terrorist attack is actually in WORSE taste and a GREATER offense than making the stupid flash in the first place.
So in conclusion:
Everyone is stupid and Astropuff, keep up the awesome.
