When my people are gone and all that's left is an adjective, will you defend my people?
Granted most of the wank at Daily Kos is patently unfunny these pre-primary days. (Which candidate sucks more, is Hillary a whore, is Daily Kos more homophobic or racist, who is the most oppressed of all? *blergh*)

But the following brought the funny and has not even anything to do with politics pre se, so it goes here.

Mike Erwin posts a Diary complaining about being troll-rated/piled on for complaining over an ethnic slur in another Diary.

Doesn't sound funny yet?

Turns out the "ethnic slur" that offended the OP so much is "vandalize".

Commenters fall all over each other with snark and bad puns.

I LoLed.

The commenters get into historical discussions, make horrible (and accurate) historical puns, then randomly wander off into a discussion of sherry.

...They're us.

*blinks*

In other news, Mike Erwin wins an award for Most Misplaced Ethnic Sensitivity of 2007.

But please refrain from using, or approvingly quoting, ethnic slurs. We should not make any assumptions about the ethnic background of the people who did this. The press release immediately rushes to blame the Vandal people, without any evidence, and, really, against all evidence. We would recognize hatred if it were directed at Gypsies or Pakistanis, and it's the same thing when directed against Vandals.

From the comments:

Don't even get me started...
...on 'paddywagon'.


Um...refering to Irish cops, right? Isn't that a *good* thing to show them in a position of authority?

And someone says that "we'd recognize a slur against Gypsies". And yet I don't see any wank over the word "gypped". Of course, I only read about half the page before my head started hurting, so it could be there.

The Romans overran the Sockpuppet people of Westphalia in 412 CE. As a descendant of the Sockpuppets, I take deep offense to your ethnic slur.

Excellent. Also, puns FTW.

The stereotypes of "Germanic barbarian hordes," in general, persist in popular culture, and sometimes influence academic works (I recall one conference paper which tried to describe Gothic kinship in terms of medieval German marriage customs, which contradicts such histories refer to Gothic marriages and dynastic politics - the Chernyakhov Goths had a Germanic language but a distinct culture overall)

OH SHIT, BETTER CALL THE PEDANTRY POLICE.

LOL, way to give classicists a bad name. I bet he's friends with the guy who translates Catullus so it sounds like the work of a stuffy 19th century sonneteer.

God, I hate that guy.
