Tiger linked to Aids virus

[DVCLiz]

How can you be so insensitive to Humorless Americans??? Don't you think that life is hard enough for them already? Think of their children! Somebody please, think of the children.

Still not funny.

I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it but I think some people whether it pertains to Tiger Woods or not aren't going to find this humerous. Just because on the surface you think its Tiger doesn't make it any more funny. Its still a deadly disease that affects millions.

brittsmum, no one finds AIDS the disease funny in the least. THIS JOKE is funny because it is a specific type of situational humor. You're not meant to laugh at how funny AIDS is - you're meant to laugh when you realize you thought one thing when you read the title and realized you were tricked into thinking it was something else than it turned out to be.

Honestly...

I agree that the ol' Shrub did not mean to cause any offense.

Face it: there are people whom wish to be offended and when they find anything that they think is remotely offensive, they will yell it loud and clear.

I, like so many millions of others in this unhappy world, have had many friends and family members whom have died from various causes over the decades: AIDS, murder, suicide, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, car accidents, still-born births, the list goes on. However, I do not go onto threads and pull my dead relative or friend out by the hair and shout "Do you find THIS funny? Well, I do NOT!"

It is simply because so much of life is hard and stressful that people use humor. If you think a particular thread may offend you, skip it. I have studiously avoided the Dugger thread for this very reason.

This joke isn't really about AIDS. No one finds that funny.

I find it interesting that no one is relieved that Tiger WOODS has not currently been found to have AIDS.

I guess it's time to insert my siggie in here. (I didn't know I posted so much that people actually read it. )

Thanks to wvjules, for allowing me to post her quote.

Ah, a tangent we haven't yet gone off on....but give it time!!

Still not funny.

Not funny in your opinion. Other people may see the humor in it. I did when I realized it was about real tigers. I also found the article really interesting.

But back to the issue at hand.... How dare Shrubber see humor in something other people don't! There should be some sort of rule.

I am impressed. Very well said!
My first thought was "oh dang, you got me".

I can't believe you actually had to explain that.

Yes, it's called the Politically Correct rule and how dare we not abide by it!!

No one in their right mind thinks that AIDS is funny and no one is personally attacking your family members/friends/coworkers/neighbors/the guy you know down the street, etc.

I don't care how it was meant. There is nothing funny trying to imply Tiger Woods as Aids.

Really?

I don't think anyone has to imply it. People are already wondering if he does have AIDS because of his many, many, many actions.

For his wife's sake I hope he doesn't. That would be tragic for her and the kids.

I can understand that but This is meant as a big ole joke

It's okay to joke about it though
