Apu is dead...we have killed him!
Does being politically correct take itself too seriously?
Is the PC movement blocking freedom of speech?
Is people being so offended just a sign of their/our world being so out of their control?

I always loved Apu. My stereotype of East Indians is they are really intelligent. Maybe Hari Kondabolu suffers from an inferiority complex, or his numbers were falling, or he didn't have anything more important to do, or he's trolling. Odd thing a comedian being upset and not wallowing in parody.
Another stereotype of mine use to be thinking alcoholics are ugly. Latter I felt the label, alcoholic, really doesn't say anything about the person e g are they loving, mean spirited, kind, lost, ambitious. Statistically most of them hold jobs and some have been great writers. Mankind has been using intoxicants for eons. Then I started thinking how just about anything we 'wallow in' is intoxicating e g emotions, sports, anger, climbing, etc.

Doug Stanhope is brilliant. Saw a guy have a seizure at his show once. His response was, "If I stopped my set everytime somebody had a medical emergency I would never get anything done." Everyone laughed. Except the guy convulsing and being dragged out by his armpits.
I'll miss Apu, but I haven't seen a new episode in sometime. I guess they said it was black face for voice. Dr. Hebert is voiced by a white guy, nobody cares.

Those guys are old. And their schtick tired out long ago. Their humor died of natural causes I'm afraid.
DMT is quite right . . . these guys were/are funny but for chrissakes lets freshen things up!
Humor is a funny thing for the neurotic and obsessive monkey that is the Homosapien. Let it never fade away.

Apu is dead...we have killed him.
God is dead...we have killed him.
Humor is what happens to someone else, tragedy is what happens to me.
Yes, I am a poor fellow, even pathetic---ha ha, it's funny even to me.
That I thought climbing defined who I am---comically flawed.
Mel Brooks previously said he wouldn't be able to make Blazing Saddles today because people would find it offensive. He said he made it to smash racism in the face.
Hipsters don't smile. Neither do supermodels. Causes wrinkles.

Bracket comments by Capseeboy. TradMaria: The initial strategy of leftism is political correctness.[ or subversion from the power elite] Truth is killed because it is in direct conflict with the fantasies of any Marxist-utopic cult. [ or it’s killed by the Tyranny of the minority Fascists born of the Tyranny of the majority democracy] Once the government/movement gets control of speech and what a person can freely say, with out fear of persecution, then irony and therefor humor dies soon after. At least it dies in the light of day anyway[agree].
Of course this only lasts so long - when the Marxist movement [subversive Fascists] and the state become incompetent and corrupt as they always do - the killing of everyone who is a problem quickly starts [Hitler, Stalin]. Arguments over whether chicks with dicks should be taking a sh#t next to your daughter seem silly when you don’t have anything to eat; so all the old concerns disappear when society is faced with real problems living under an authoritarian and elitist rule that gives up all pretense of fairness and justice [agree].
The laws of nature soon take over once again much like when any system fails. The first to go are the dullards, deviants, weaklings and demented old idiots [disagree, the deviants will control through AI, IT, propaganda, robots]; ironically any of the useful victim coalition used in the creation of a fantasy world filled with free stuff and no responsibility [notice how the tech stuff is already almost free---control through entertainment and divisive propaganda; your use of the word irony is lost on me, which is funny. Free stuff in free boxes all over PDX from people who can’t afford rent anymore, or from people that already have too much stuff, and need to upgrade to better stuff because there old stuff doesn’t make them happy anymore---this is ironic.]
You know, most of the crowd that still spews on Supertopo day in and day out.[this is irony at it’s best, because your implicitly including yourself, very funny and good parody!]
Thinking of it all - that’s pretty darn hilarious
Humor always survives in the end it seems.

I think it’s the opposite, people struggling to get by don’t have the time or energy to worry about dumb stuff. Someone’s life has to be pretty easy (or boring) to watch a TV show and take the time to protest it.

Today I did a bit of shopping with my wife and was amazed by the number of Christmas songs that were played everywhere.
We all know that everything related to Christmas is offensive to any non-Christian and as a result to any progressive liberal.
The first attack on Christmas almost succeeded in elimination of "Merry Christmas" greeting.
For a few years the only acceptable greeting was "Season greetings!".
However "Merry Christmas" survived and is slowly recovering.
Next obvious targets are Christmas songs and movies.
When do you believe progressives would launch an attack on them?

You saw that and thought it was funny?
I don't suppose you've ever had a convulsive seizure, so you don't know the sheer terror of it. As a person with epilepsy I can tell you that making a joke of it is on the same level as Trump's sick joke about the crippled man.
I love humor, my friends will tell you I'm a bit of a crack up myself. But there are lines. And although those lines are a voluntary thing, there is such a thing as discretion. For example it's cool to imitate and make fun of Trump for ridiculing a disabled person, but it wasn't cool of Trump to do it in the first place.

Homor is a litmus test of individual freedom of expression. Watch the list of exemptions, sensitivities, and prohibitions of humor grow and know that your liberty is eroding and being sanctioned.
We are being educated to march a certain way.
What is it called, when individual expression has become the chattel of opinion?
(Almost forgot, what else is new?)

However "Merry Christmas" survived and is slowly recovering.
A friend of mine who is Jewish has sometimes posted examples and memories from her life where "Christianity was assumed." I can't remember any off hand, but her point was usually how, as a kid of 4, 8, 10, whatever, it seemed "off" to be assumed to comply simply because "that's what everyone else is."
A philosophical exercise: This year,every time you get a "Merry Christmas," imagine they have said "Ramadan Mubarak" instead, or "May God bless you as you celebrate the Festival of Lights."
Sure, it's not the time of year for Ramadan, but Hanukah does begin tonight at sundown, if it's too great a stretch to imagine being wished well for a holiday you don't participate in at the wrong time of year.
Just go with it, and feel the feelings, if you can be honest with yourself. Listen to the questions you're hearing in your mind.
That's how it can be, for those who aren't Christian.
.

So - did you get an initial reaction just from reading the above? No need to reply - this is just for yourself.
.
.
.
.
And if so - What? Ya can't take a joke?
.
.
.
.
This fear of life as we know it being demolished because of "PC" is just that - fear. Fear of not being the top dog. Fear that we may, at some point, endure a smidgeon of the oppression out status has foisted upon others since 'Merica was founded.

I can’t imagine, in my wildest dreams, that ever remotely bothering me. It’s also hard for me to understand how it would bother anyone. I guess I just don’t understand being offended by someone who’s trying to be friendly.

Sir, my ideas on what is the puppet-construct used to stupefy the masses, from the 1st century.
Has no bearing on my opinion that you showed a lack of taste,
when adding a long-dead well known to be a not "nice" person, of little talent, when it came to rock drummers,
to the thread meant to honor contributing members of our society who have died, recently (I see others were adding long dead musicians as well as you)
Also that, now, you have seen fit to delete that same post has me thinking it is not a bad thing that you feel that "If that is the way you feel then I think it would be the best thing to disassociate my self from you".
Don't forget to post your favorite video of Jesus Christ,? If I did, you and others would not be amused
separate your self from me? eh? we are as far apart in so many ways that disassociation only scratches the surface.
I could help here,
for those with a decoder ring, this will fine tune.
if'n you,are Axel? -say that
If you are some stooge trolling old climbers?
But if the stoke you profess is real & true, from a place where you want to progress?
then well Come out & admit that you don't know what you are getting yourself into
but to throw a
"this is who I am, look at how sicko & unconventional the path to a wannabe great YoYo, that I have taken is (& am still on)"
Get in Line.
you have taken a no less radical path to the vertical
than anyone else here,
we all got called
from there to where
is not the journey.
Get in line.

KSolem, the guy that had a seizure was a Stanhope fan. He probably gets it. And he was fine and came back into the show. I disn't think his seizure was funny, it was Doug's take on it that was. And I have seen, and helped a friend having a seizure. We had a nervous, albeit partly from relief, laugh about it afterwards.

By Chris Willman: End the War on ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’! It’s Feminist — Really
Taken maybe a smidgeon more seriously than its creator intended, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” is the story of a woman doing battle — not with a guy who won’t take no for an answer, but with the expectations of a society that won’t take yes for an answer.
