The voices of reason speak at last. Humor is often meant to be offensive and the fact you are all offended by it counts as a "win" for the author of the offending article. The following is a quote from urbandictionary.com and it is both on topic and hilarious. Originally Posted by Malachaii

I mean we can also start making Nazi jokes here as well. I know quite a few. There is always a difference between offensive and derogatory and good humour. Usually good humour exxagerates things to a point that makes fun of the one that makes the joke as well. Bad humour is picking on others with stereotypes. Thats bad and easy. This piece COULD have been funny, if the writer would have made a little more effort in writing it as a satire. What he did is something any 6 year old school boy/girl could have done. That is my point. Its the kind of "ha ha ha" humour that just engages in forcing black and white vision and not engaging in making jokes of the one that portrays things that way or for people seing it that way.

I remember people talking about Borat in a similar way. Or "Brüno". But the kind of humour is different. He makes fun in Brüno of therapeutic offers to make him a "straight" instead of a "gay" man in the sense that he ends up with men all the time (part of the therapy). That IS making fun of two things here. The therapeutical value of turning gays to straight people by sending them to "mancamps" and engaging in "manly" activities (to be straight of coure...lol).

I t hink good humour has many facets, Bad humour doesn`t.
Its about the point - the outcome. The ability to reflect on yourself or show hypocrisy. I don`t see any hypocrisy in making satireof something that is not funny. Killing a hooker is not showing hypocrisy of mainstream society. That is my point. If killing a hooker is presented in a way that makes the people doing so look bad and fun as well (as an artefact) then its fine with me.

Jonathan Swift's - one of the greatest of Anglo-Irish satirists - A Modest Proposal - makes fun of Americans, the Irish and Catholics and recommends cannibalism of children. Outrageous satire in 1729, still outrageous in 2011, and it's still satire. Originally Posted by I B Hankering

Well we all remember "Lolita" ... the original book was banned for child pornography. Nowadays it is portrayed in movies with women who are not underaged. And for young women having older men. (But still not underaged). Even if its a write of fiction there are limits, i am saying.

Oh and i love Eminem....;-))) "listening to lyrics of Superman".....he is funny. He makes jokes of romance and love. I like that.

American film critic Joe Queenan called Baron Cohen [Borat] an "odious twit." I agree.

He criticises them? - that is a tad bit too far... seems the critic Joe Queenan can`t handle americans to be criticised. I do think thought he worst portrayed are still the kazachstan people.

Homophobe? I disagree again. Where would Borat be homophobe? Wasn`t he making out with a man? Or at least something like that?

I love Borat and I'm quite jellus of Isla Fisher.

Anyway, the humor/satire is quite there in the how to bury a hooker thing because it is definitely poking fun at how common place the bit is in comedy movies so much to the point that people would become desensitized to the horrid act that would be the death and cover up of said death during a stay in Vegas or anywhere else.
