Fag?
[quote name="Fussbett"][quote name="Denis O'Bell"][quote name="Fussbett"]It's like magic. Comic strips are no match.[/quote]Rees goes on for a fair number of words himself, if you follow your own link.[/quote] The comic I linked was only 100 words, and they are self-contained political comedies. However, you do have a point because there are also pictures, which we all know are worth 1000 words each. At 3100 words, I'm shocked I get through each one so quickly. [quote]Jerkcity's point, if you can call it that, is something like: I hate that bitch for reminding me of my own frailty/mortality. Or maybe just: When thinking about something makes me uncomfortable, I weakly feign indifference by making crude, unfunny jokes.[/quote]You just deconstructed the shit out of that comic. Pants hates Terry Schiavo and is afraid of death. That's not very mature at all. Next can you explain <a href="http://www.jerkcity.com/jerkcity2320.html" target="jizz">this one</a> to me? I think the jizz represents a latent Electra complex but I'm no sophomore, and I didn't even take any pop lit classes, so I defer to your unpopped monocle. [quote]Feel free to try to prove me wrong, but I'd say that some ideas just sound stupider and stupider as the word count climbs. I'd bet this is one of those, btw:[quote]The BABY KILLER wants more friends. Awww.[/quote]Actually, "stupid" isn't quite the right word. There's an immaturity comon to all these points of view, and a cowardice; a feeling that the writer is missing some vital internal fulcrum. In a word, I'd say: Unmanly. Fag.[/quote] I was SO CLOSE to simply calling the author of American Digest a fag, but then I lost my vital internal fulcrum and I went for the cheap shot, inferring that "choosing death" meant getting lots of abortions or burning Vietcong villages or something. I think I'll do better next time. Meanwhile can you explain to me how the plodding and sappy American Digest essay about losing friends over politics is smarter than this?: <img src="http://www.mnftiu.cc/mnftiu.cc/images/war.334.gif"></img> I'll start you off: That Get Your War On comic is concise, funny and insightful. The American Digest essay is longwinded, cumbersome, pompous, boring and a waste of time to read. Ok, now you finish. If you have any time left over, I'd appreciate hearing any thoughts you have about proper humour writing as well.

What a dick, huh?[/quote]
