I guess there is a line between a natural evolution of language and people trying to rename "history" to "hystory"; or "women" to "womyn."Studiodavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16784469805972410740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-1143404719228958782006-03-26T15:25:00.000-05:002006-03-26T15:25:00.000-05:00I'm a big fan of un-PC and blasphemy and stuff, bu...I'm a big fan of un-PC and blasphemy and stuff, but I think PC does have it's place, in places where humor is not appropriate and respect is necessary, like when a politican is doing his or her job. If I wanted funny I'd vote for Chappelle.<BR/><BR/>The thing I've noticed about many conservatives I have come into interaction with is that the essence of humor seems to escape them. They have a hard time with nuance and sarcasm. Above all they have trouble with the notion that comedy is situational.<BR/><BR/>An example that, while fictional, I've seen closely paralleled in real life, is Steve Carell's character in 'The Office', who can't understand the fact that while Eddie Murphy's 'Raw' is hilarious, no one thinks it's funny when he repeats the material in the workplace.Isaac Carmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402890244648619420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-1143403607636068542006-03-26T15:06:00.000-05:002006-03-26T15:06:00.000-05:00Chuckle and go to commercial.Lou Dobbs just got pw...<I>Chuckle and go to commercial.</I><BR/><BR/>Lou Dobbs just got pwned.Otto Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051682366565874144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-1143403380091246472006-03-26T15:03:00.000-05:002006-03-26T15:03:00.000-05:00The sad thing about all the PC nonsense is that th...The sad thing about all the PC nonsense is that there are some on the right who believe that the term was one actually coined by the left.<BR/><BR/>I do like the turnaround now, and hoisting conservatives on their "patriotically correct" language tends to shut them up quick.Otto Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051682366565874144noreply@blogger.com
