I disagree. I agree that it's sick and twisted, but there are all different kids of humor, and tastes vary.

Please tell me what the humour is, because I've racked by brains and I can't see a single reason why that would be classed as humour.

It's the guy's creepy face, for fuck's sake -- it looks like something he'd say.

It's like when you say someone has "rapey eyes." You're not saying rape is funny, you're saying the person looks creepy.

I actually really found the rape one and the pot noodle one, pretty funny, can't say why, but I did.

My bugbear on forums is if someone else finds something funny and you find it distasteful, why do some expect EVERYONE to banish to hell the person who posted or said the thing they objected too?
Others may not agree and everyone is entitled to say so, but the faux outrage, the gathering up of everyone to support them in their condemnation....is pretty pathetic imo.

You either have a forum where free speech is tolerated or you don't....there are forums to suit everyones taste out there.

Well said Syl. In regards to Ben's posts - I share the same dark/odd humour so I found the picture jokes funny, likewise the two he posted yesterday.
I suppose that's all there is to it; you either get someone's humour, or you don't.

Beautifully put. I gave you a snotty green stripe.
