I humbly offer this to make up for the fail. . .

Some funny from it, because I wanted to see if there was any:

"You know they mean business because they’ve used, like, 27 different fonts."

"They really love to see men kissing, don’t they?"

"But if you hire a graphic designer today, tomorrow you could find yourself hiring a party planner. Ahem."

"But knowing these kinds of things would require the homophobes to open books (the kind that don’t rely on CAPS and bold), think critically, etc."

"I like how it says the gays are intolerant, after of course, comparing homosexuals to prostitutes and drug dealers.

Way to preach the Word of Christ, jackasses."

"Oh NOEZ! Big scary homo black dudez are gonna steal your young, impressionable white boyz!"

"“Why do bigots always have poor design skills?”
Because to be otherwise would be “gay”"

And I did that with half the 5 minute break I took between reading! If only

ignorant_bliss also had two and a half minutes, s/h/it might have been spared a dogpile and all of us realizing what a moron s/h/it is.

Also, from where the unfunny sets in:
"I’m straight but I have plenty of gay friends (who happen to be Republican, thank goodness). They don’t even agree with gays getting married b/c they just don’t see the point."

Riiiiiiiiiight.

"Obama’s new outrageous tax burden that nobody wanted that I will now have help to pay for."

Nobody liked his tax plan in the first place! That's why nobody voted for him, obviously. Isn't president McCain great? WWII saved us from the great depression, who is up for a sequel?

"I don’t hang around drug addicts, neither would you. I don’t hang with prostitutes, neither would you. Not to equate gays with drug addicts and hookers, but the principle is the same."

Hey! Some of my best friends are drug addicts and hookers. They don't agree with doing drugs or having sex for money either, though.

See? Not that hard to at least attempt to find funny for us.

I cringe at having my work be associated with "Your point". Good FWers: I didn't mean to imply that homophobia is actually funny or that this didn't belong here, and I'm terribly disappointed that ignorant_bliss approves of me.

Homophobia: Still not fucking funny. And wank reports where the wanka can't even be assed to pull out a few quotes and relies on "NO! It's totally funny you just don't get it!": still not fucking funny either.

I'm sorry. Perhaps my point was misconstrued. The anti-gay ad: not funny. The comments to the add: funny. The comments re: Hitler: wtf? ridiculous and totally mockable because wtf!

I don't recall ever saying that any of it was hi-fucking-larious and certainly never said "NO! It's totally funny you just don't get it!" Also amended that it should have been posted in unfunnybusiness. Again, my bad.

And I did make at least a half-assed attempt at pointing out one kind of funny quote. *shrugs*

I've got a minute here, so I'll try to explain this to you.

At OTF_wank, there's a lot of stuff that could be funny in certain moods, but that we've sort of agreed is unfunny and so should go elsewhere. Things involving rampant misogyny, racism, and homophobia are some of them.

So when your report doesn't CLEARLY point out where the funny was supposed to be but just mentions it in a "half-assed" way, and DOES explain all the homophobia going on, many people got irritated and came to give you a smacking with the clue-by-four.

As far as I can see, your comment continues to be of the type "But that's not what I meant!" That's nice, but when the rest of us seem to have read it in a way other than what you meant, that's a good clue that you didn't word it well. And that you're continuing not to.

My advice would be to shut up and stop trying to defend yourself. I hope you've been around long enough to know that continuing to comment never works for the wanker: and I don't think it will work for you. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that maybe you just got caught up in replying and forgot that.

On the other hand, you could continue commenting, but that would be wanky. So.

	"But if you hire a graphic designer today, tomorrow you could find yourself hiring a party planner. Ahem." Wait, what? What does a graphic designer have to do with anything? (Reply to this)(Parent)
