Listen, dude, I know you're trying to be cool and everything, but you even think of using that and you'll have some problems. I never did shit to you and I expect you to respect me as the person I am. I am not a prostitute. I am a person. And the comparision is not funny. At least I'm not laughing.

Damn... That sucks...

Actually, I had a friend years ago, during my first try at uni, who was also very sensitive to any kind of prostitute-related comments, no matter how lighthearted or silly (she even got huffy about neing jokingly called a "harlot" or "scarlet woman"). Turns out she had an abusive mother who called her "slut" and "whore" almost constantly when she was home, so she had a good reason to be sensitive.

Uh... not that I am suggesting you are in the same situation. You just triggered a memory.

PS. Kaufman = Barfman, Couchman, Oafman, Half-man... DexX = DixX, DorxX...

Nothing more that i can say here than im genuinely sorry. I mean , the humour in here is borderline to say the least. Finding that someone actually takes offence at something scares me greatly.

Someone once told me to lighten up when i took offence to being called something which , when i look back on it , was utterly inconsequential.

Scary that WTC jokes , dead babies in a blender ,and constant cornholing remains amusing , but this "Crosses the line".

To be quite fair, I think that the dead baby jokes are limited in their appeal to me and maybe three or four other people on Stripcreator. And the last time I saw overt WTC humor was the one strip DX posted and then almost immediately asked Brad to delete... and I never even got to see it before it was erased.

Theres a WTC gag used in Comic Cup V ATM. That said , the toons on the forums here are usually pretty strong. While maybe a lot of people would publicly compain , i would wager that those same people gutted themselves laughing the first time they saw them.

And the Dead Babies in a Blender strip. I defy anyone to claim that wasnt funny and mean it , even if they do hate themselves for laughing at it.

YOu are correct in that the ending was a little crass , but i have friends in NYC , and got the constant "How are they , are they ok" thing for 48 hours , so i see the humour in it.

Let's call a spade a spade. WTC jokes aren't offensive to all Americans. We've had a ton of jokes caused by such national tragedies as Challenger, plane crashes, serial killers, Reagan, etc. But in this case, some 6000 people were killed, and countless others were injured or narrowly escaped ... and that amounts to a lot of people who know someone who was directly affected. To my knowledge, my "Bacon Number" is 3 -- my wife works with someone whose (not-so-close) friend was on the plane that flew into the Pentagon. For a lot of people, this hits close to home. Too close, and it's nothing to do with nationality in particular.

That said, I am probably able to laugh at some pretty crude WTC stuff, but I hardly expect all of you to, and I've been treading pretty lightly in deference to others' possible sensitivities (some of my nasty ethnic jokes have wound up on the stripcreator cutting room floor for similar reasons -- I don't want to accidentally offend someone.)

Maybe I'll make some WTC comics one of these days. But the text might be ROT-13 :-)

As Tim of the Doug Anthony All Stars once said:

"I mean, we had jokes written about the space shuttle disaster before the bloody thing even hit the water!"

Oh, and DX's strip was written after the first plane impact, before the second plane showed up and long before thousands of people died. It was a joke about how Gabe Billings was piloting the plane.

I figured that mine was fair game because it centered on the bullshit *I* was experiencing. The "they're all ground floor now" part was a little crude, but it's kinda like the Hawkeye Pierce reaction to the situation. It's an expression of incredulity. I don't expect everyone to get it. Personally, I'm offended by the massive amount of religious/flag-waving/bigoted email I've received to my work account. Rather than tell everyone off for what I see as an inappropriate way to express their grief and helplessness (polluting my inbox), I quietly delete.

My mom is pissed off because the beautiful little tree that sat so peacefully and zen-like outside her window is now choked with red, white, blue, and yellow ribbons (no doubt they've added purple, too).

No one can force everyone to suddenly be tolerant, but I can advise that adopting a small measure of tolerance when it comes to understanding people's different ways of processing this is just easier than telling everyone off.

I'm sure that kaufman could post several pages in dedication to the irony of LadyJ preaching tolerance.
