re: Was that JC on tv?

Don't give me this "don't get personal" crap. This board has an 81 page thread dedicated to getting personal with this kid.

That thread was fueled by his "words", like labeling his picture "me being sexy" and then his adamant demands that we do his homework. That's when the farkers went after his "sexy" bee-sting/Courtney Love lips. And props to him, he took it like a good sport.

However, you and others saw him on having a good time rooting on the Tigers on TV and got all middle school on him pointing out "Hey you're fat. You're gonna get diabetes. You wear ugly hats. You dance like an idiot. You must not have any self-esteem. You're an embarrassment. Go work off your spare tire, fatso!"

There's a huge difference.

EX: I don't go after Saban simply for his sleight 5'6" height. It would come across as a sophomoric personal appearance attack. I point it out simply because of his Napoleonic arrogance, and exaggerating him into a dwarf or midget takes the piss off his self-importance.

You're correct that other make those comments too. Same goes for them. Most people on the fark board know whats a joke and do it in good fun. JC has been a good sport.

The most amazing thing about this thread is that someone had a picture of JC getting frozen yogurt! JC actually, really has paparazzi! He has got to be the one and only guy on planet earth who has paparazzi stardom from a message board.

NEIGHBORHOOD SUPERSTAR!

Everyone loves a whipping boy. If he's behaved improperly, the lashes dished out can be comedy gold.

But just because he's a whipping boy, it doesn't grant carte blanche ridicule. It has to be deserving, or else it comes across as mean-spirited, & more importantly, unfunny.


Funny: Anthony Weiner just announced that he's running for mayor and we already have definitive proof that he's rising in the poles.

Not funny: Hey, Weiner, you got an ugly, crooked nose.

Look, I'm not an a-hole, so if I actually offended the kid, I apologize, but I don't need humor lessons from some blowhard who thinks he's entitled to tell me what is and isn't funny because he's reached some sort of demi-god status on an internet forum. So, I appreciate you backing up the guy, but I take offense to you standing on your soap box and talking to me like one of the unwashed masses.

It's cool,it's cool.

Seriously, I'm sitting in my apartment, in my underwear, on the westbank, in Westwego, on a swivel chair, not on a soap box, defending a loyal Tiger fan from misguided & unfunny quips.

No one said or implied that you're an a-hole, but its obvious you need humor lessons.

Because of one offhanded offensive comment?

There are people who don't know the un-written rules of funny.

So I wrote them out.

You know, for the "un-washed masses" who type offensive stuff they think is funny but we know if they already knew the un-written rules of funny, they wouldn't have written the unfunny stuff before they get called out & take a defensive stance & fire back shots at the messenger who will write out the rules of funny for the unfunny.
