quote out of context

It’s like watching your uncle tell racist jokes at Thanksgiving and praying someone has the guts to tell him to cut it out, but this time it’s interactive—and you’re the uncle.

    I’m not afraid of poop. It’s not my first choice, but I’m not afraid to touch it, if need be.

    I’m not sure what I meant by that.

    Make your own metaphor.

    Having babies completely changes the way you feel about poop.

    I was hoping you were talking about an interesting story-ish game making some interesting social commentary. It sounds like I liked this game better as vaporware.

    “One can laugh at jokes about men and women, and there’s nothing wrong with being risque, but Duke is thoughtless, backwards, and belligerent.”

    This is should apply to stand-up comedians as well. If you are going to tell an offensive joke, at least put some thought into it.

    Was that a dig at Tracy Morgan?

    Yes, but it applies in general too. I get that some people don’t think comedians should be politically correct, and I agree up to a point. There’s no great rule for where the line is between funny and offensive, but the relationship is essentially this: if it’s risque and most people don’t think it’s funny, it’s offensive. Comedy is subjective, of course, but I haven’t heard anyone defend tracy morgan’s comments on the grounds that they were funny.
