Is there no defence against this offence? I'm incensed! My offence is the reference offence. Any other offence must show deference to the reference offence. Ach! This is getting too intense! Luckily in my case it's all a pretence. 202729@blogcritics.org Wed, 10 Aug 2005 16:42:27 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/08/10/153705.php#comment-202604 One mass murderer is about the same as another whether they killed a few thousand (Bin Laden) or a few hundred thousand (Hussein). They both deserve to be ridiculed. Punch and Judy has always been political and social criticism. Updating it is entirely appropriate. The problem is that there are some people who just have no sense of humor at all and even find humor offensive.
