I could see someone being offended but they probably wouldn't bother to say something. I doubt people enjoy having an aspect of their culture ridiculed just because someone find its hilarious.

its supposed to be a joke...calm down...

 

[clown boy]

So uh... if I want to post a joke... uh... what's the criteria???
I'm not mocking anyone's culture... hey, I hear jokes about English words all the time.

I am calm. I am not offended, I even said I was no offended. I understand that is supposed to be funny, I understand what the word hilarious means, however just because you say something is a joke does not make it funny nor does it prevent someone (no me since I already stated I was not offended) for being offended by a mockery of her/his culture.

I doubt that there is any criteria, perhaps funny should be a criteria but noone said you shouldn't post what you think is funny, I just think people should be appear of how what they say or do may impact others, what you choose to do with that information is your own choice.

so should comedians stop telling jokes? i dont get why you elaborated on the "being offended" subject if you are not offended...

anything can offend another person...there is no sence in starting an argument if you dont think its funny...

You are really reading into what I said. The reason I elaborated was because someone mentioned they did not understand why someone might be offended, I see no problem trying to show why someone might not find this as hilarious as others.

How is that called attacking someone? I would like to know?

 

[jtrzerocool]

you were specifically pointing out that his origional post could offend someone...which is not the problem...your tone is the problem...wether you ment it or not...using capital leters to emphasize somthing always sounds rude...

My only reason for using capital letters was that was the way it appeared in the title, but if it will help I will gladly go back and edit my post so that the tone is kinder and gentler.
