I agree with you Mark, I thought however if I said I don't find it funny you'd tell me to lighten up

I dont mean to be insensitive.
I initially found it funny (to be fair I also said it was cruel) as a parody of the scene at the end of Mario World castle. Now its not funny anymore

TBH the 9-11 "funny" references are starting to annoy me

Very poor taste.

I didn't give a shit in 2001 and I still don't give a shit now. I don't suffer from OHNOES LIBERAL GUILT!!!!!1111!!!!!! like a lot of people on Bullets.

Thats' extremely callous and insensitive, IMHO saying "I don't give a shit"

They had it coming. The delicious irony of it all is that they personally taught Bin Laden all that he knew.

Ditto for New Orleans. Oh yes, let's build a city BELOW SEA LEVEL, that's IN THE PATH OF HURRICANES EVERY YEAR.

That doesnt make the deaths any less tragic.

I love how the American flag comes out of Ground Zero.

I honestly see no difference between Eva's sig and the comics we keep seeing about wars in magazines such as Newsweek etc. Why is it that people tolerate or laugh at such cartoons, but find 9/11 or holocaust jokes tasteless?

And you for Bush.

How is Mark an apologist for Bush?

When does something stop being a satirical sketch and become tasteless? Is the animation trying to make a point? Mario is a Japanese/US (nay, world) video game icon, why show him doing what he's doing?

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 01 Jun 2006, 12:56

You mean he isn't? Well, then maybe I'm not one for Muslims.

Besides... didn't he mean terrorists in the first place and not Muslims? Why would I have to apologise for Muslims?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 01 Jun 2006, 13:09

True, good point.

I don't know. Some people are too sensitive.

Don't laugh about the Holocaust. My grand-dad died in a concentration camp.
Poor Gerhard, fell off a watchtower while shooting jews... broke his neck.

Its too soon to make 9/11 jibes, maybe too soon to make films of it, IMO. Would anyone make jokes about the tsunami in Asia? No, thought not....

Tsunami was a natural disaster, grim. Or do you believe in that conspiracy theory that it happened because of nuclear bomb tests in the pacific?

Re: Tsunami:

It was the muslims that did it !
Moses came back, he lifted the sea and threw it on the azns !!

It's the muslims, I tell you !

My mum's cousin's brother died in the tsunami, for real.

Distant distant relatives who live on the other side that I would've never met. I find it hard to feel anything.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 01 Jun 2006, 14:35

Thats really sad Eva (about your mum's cousins brother)

Shen · Post by **Shen** » 01 Jun 2006, 14:37

True dat.

Yeah. I am honestly still not moved. Sad for me.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 01 Jun 2006, 16:02

Well if you didnt really know the relative at all I sort of understand what you mean, but it just sounds very cold saying you're not moved when ANY family member is lost. It sounds like you don't care.
I lost my great aunt and grandma some years ago, I didnt see them that much but it was still sad
