[kj] (Very OT) Bruno - Autism

[jo]

I think you are.  
In a way 'suffering' from something sort of makes you bit more entitled to laugh about it.  I'd rather take the piss out of something than go for a councelling session.  Much less gloomy and more positive IMO.


  Can I test the waters? I put on some weight a while back when I couldn't go to the gym for a couple years...perhaps 30 pounds or so. I noticed one day as I was sitting down, leaning slightly to one side, I felt a *plop* as a little roll of fat was birthed into existence around my floating ribs...as a tall skinny type and gym freak for most of my life it was one of the most disgusting, yet funny, experiences I've ever had. Relating it to other people has been quite funny...does that make me bad for making fun of fat people? Can I no longer do it after losing the weight...?

  Not on my watch if physical and mental disabilities are made fun of. My apologies.

  Not that I've seen any of the said films (saw Ali G on Richard and Judy once) but I'm with you on that.
  If you're brave or daft enough to crack a joke in the wrong place at the wrong time you'll suffer; but you have the right to do it.

    I can't stand the idea of certain topics being taboo, where humour is concerned. Fuck that. Either it's all okay or none of it is okay.
