does THIS offend you?

Gooshin · 06-19-2009, 10:52 AM

EDIT: since i have been informed that my poll is flawed..

vote NO if you find the humor in this

vote YES if you do not find the humor in this

i was discussing this comic (rather old but whatever) with a friend...

just curious various groups of people react to it... lets see how the pentax photogs handle it.

No, I'm not offended by it, I think it makes a strong statement about our society.
I didn't vote because I don't think either of the options fit, I don't consider it humour.

Don't find the humor in it......seems like the author is trying a little too hard to get attention. I will say that some of us have lost family....and something like this is a little too specific....

Just think it's pretty stupid myself.

offensive? not to me personally, though I do find it rather insensitive and unfortunately, like most modern comics, not drawn worth sh*t.

I think the poll is flawed, not the voters.

But that's true of any poll.

i dont follow

you either find this funny or you dont

so far 4 people find the humor in it, and the rest of you are voicing (yet not voting) your distaste...

I'd be willing to wager that the voters are flawed, too.

Well yeah, you got me there. We are all flawed in one way or another.

That still doesn't rule out the possibility of the cartoonist needing psychiatric help.

Too bad we cant have this opinion as one of the votes in the poll.

It woould be an outright winner.

Make me the 4th on this one

There's no indication that it's meant to be humour IMO.
