Anime proof that two nukes weren't enough??

[Alyrium Denryle]

I wouldn't give a crap. What, you've never heard any 9/11 jokes?

When was the last time you heard an elected politician make a 9/11 joke and keep his job?

I wish that would happen more often than taking it so seriously that we lose our civil rights...

That having been said, honestly... some anime is really good. Perfect Blue for example was a perfect psych thriller.

On the other hand I cant help but not blame the rep. I mean, when a friend of yours pops in La Blue Girl without telling you that it is a Ninja-Tentacle-Demon-Porn....

That shit is like watching a train-wreck. You want to look away and stop watching when the tentacle demon who is raping a ninja in a school girl outfit feels the need to gyrate his hips... but you cant. It damages you.

I'm honestly curious why casual brutal violence ala GTA is acceptable while hentai is "damaging". Is violent murder a less serious crime then violent rape?* Even if we accept that it is a sliding scale, it seems odd that GTA and it's ilk is "OK" but any given violent hentai is not.

*Yes, I personally would be more horrified at a brutal rape then a brutal murder, but this doesn't strike me as "logical".

[Simplicius]

Cultural conditioning is far kinder to violence than it is to sex, at least in the US, to suggest one possible reason. Compare the way large-scale bloodshed is presented in action films ("meh") to how even wholesome sex has to be treated with kid gloves outside of so-called 'art' films.

This is a politician you're talking about. You'd expect that kind of thing to be right up his proverbial alley.

Elected officials can't say whatever is on their minds because they are elected representatives. If an elected representative says something about another country, he is, in effect, making a statement that the other country cannot ignore. It becomes 'official'. Joe Average says something, but he's not speaking for anyone but himself, and the other country doesn't have to give a shit even if this guy rushes the Larry King Live set and says it on-air.

If you represent the state of New Hampshire, the words that come out of your mouth represent the people of that state. That's how it works in foreign relations.

But Ahmedinejad is just spouting rhetoric when he says that Israel should be wiped off the map, right?

I can't believe you live such a sheltered life. I fail to see where the outrage is in that. It's not like Ahmedinejad is trying to ban Jews or anything. Can't politicians have personal opinions? At least it's not like he made a joke about nuking Israel because of ugly Jewish cartoon animation.

Some people need their sarcasm meters adjusted. That Israelites either got driven to the sea too much or too little is a fucking ancient joke. That does not mean one is an anti-Semite conspiring to put all Jewish descended people in Iran inside ovens again.

[Simplicius]

If you turned on your brain before you posted, it might have occurred to you that Israel (rightfully) takes offense at such remarks even though Ahmedinejad is just shooting his mouth off for a domestic audience, in the same way that Japan could rightfully take offense even though Rep. Whatshisname was just shooting his mouth off for the benefit of his friends.

I can understand the humour in it, but come on, it's a joke that supports genocide. "Two nukes weren't enough, we should have burnt Japan to the ground."

[Havok]

And yet you get it is a joke, so come on. And no it does not support genocide, it makes light of it.

[Mr. Coffee]

Hell, I use that joke just about anytime someone shows me weird shit from Japan.

[Tolya]

How would you react if I said to you "american beer is proof that two planes weren't enough"?

While not being Hav, I'd say you shouldn't quit your day job to do stand-up. I'm perfectly willing to laugh at offensive 9/11 jokes, but yours is just retarded.

In This Thread: We find that some people have much broader senses of humor than others.

Exactly. Retarded and offensive. Just as the one with "two nukes weren't enough". And Im really amazed at how people here say that this was just a joke and how they themselves do it. What amazes me even more is that people see it OK to joke at a throwing two nukes at Japan, but feel offended when it comes to joking about their own country. Happy hypocrite day sirs.

How is that relevant to anything anyone is saying? Or are you another chucklefuck who doesn't grasp that politicians don't have the same leeway for making stupid jokes that joe blow member of the public does? What's stupid isn't the joke itself, it's that the dipshit who made it doesn't seem to grasp that his opponents will use anything he says to get him out of office and needs to watch his remarks.

Yeah, for some reason some people here seem to be paying attention to the fact that that was an inexcusable joke to make regardless if you are joe sixpack or Obama himself.

Actually, the version I like to use goes "I'm not sure if we nuked them to much or not enough".

[Tolya]

Actually, the version I like to use goes "I'm not sure if we nuked them to much or not enough".

Yeah, tell that joke to the people that survived Hiroshima or Nagasaki. I bet they will slap their knee

And for an encore should I also go to a Gay Pride Parade and tell my favorite homo jokes and then hit the Boston Saint Patrick's Day Parade can call them all a bunch of filthy micks? Oh, I know, I'll just go to Poland and tell the one about how the German army invaded by walking in backwards so all the Poles would think they were leaving! Classic zinger, right there...

Seriously, we get it, you're an easily offending douche and you can't understand that the major problem in the OP isn't the joke, it's that the guy who said it was a public official who did so in a public place.

[Tolya]

Oh, so now its "we", Coffee? Who? You and your title? I may be an easily offended douche but it sure beats being an insensitive asshole who doesn't grasp the idea that YES SOME PEOPLE ARE OFFENDED BY STUPID SHIT EVEN IF ITS STUPID SHIT.

I will concede to your point if you let me crack an offensive joke about your mother at her funeral, which would mean that you really are not moved by stupid jokes. Otherwise you are just a hypocrite and an asshole.

[Mr. Coffee]

Let's see, Zod for a start.

Also, calling me an asshole isn't an insult, it's a fucking compliment that aknowledges my greatness in the field of Assholery. Thanks for noticing, bitchtits.

who doesn't grasp the idea that YES SOME PEOPLE ARE OFFENDED BY STUPID SHIT EVEN IF ITS STUPID SHIT.

Oh, I totally get that some people would be offended. Unlike the politician in the OP, I wouldn't be dumb enough to tell such jokes in front of people who would be offended by it, so spare us all your indignant outbursts, child (Well, if I was out to intentionally piss someone off, I might. Wouldn't you know, in your case it worked like a charm too). Seriously, how the fuck someone with an ass as easily chapped as yours managed to not get run off the internet is amazing.

Seriously, "your mom" jokes are the best you can come up with? What are you, fucking 12? Get the fuck out of the thread. Better yet, get the fuck off the internet, you unfunny self-righteous shitbird.

[Havok]

I would chuckle. Of course I'm not an uptight douche that can't move past things. Granted I moved past things the morning after 9/11 and I come from a family in which my grandmother was cracking cancer jokes hours before it killed her. So I may not be the norm.

The point is, if you KNOW it is a joke, then why get your panties in a twist about it?

[Mr. Coffee]

Survey says...

Because Tolya is an easily offended self-righteous douche.

[Havok]

Wow. There is some fucking twisted, messed up shit that has come down the anime pipe, and it's reputation didn't do go so well when some very stupid people in the early 90s decided that Legend of the Overfiend is a great followup to Akira, and should be released in theaters with no warning as to it's content (Hence the famous "Animated Snuff Film Misogynist Crap" headline from the poor reviewer who had no idea what she was watching). However, somebody needs to sit this man down and explain that we do not commit genocide for animation. Not even Violence Jack.

Well, ok, maybe Violence Jack.

See, jokes are funny. Now why isn't anyone attacking Open here for advocating genocide? Oh that's right, because only retarded people with nothing better to do get butt hurt about things like this... you know the type of people that pay attention to facebook updates.

Speaking of which... this cracked me up...

When comments like this emerge, what always seems lost is the identity of the person who happened to take Levasseur's words to a wider audience. However, a site called RedHampshire.com claimed that this wasn't a mere comment, but, in fact, Levasseur's status update.

DUN DUN DUNNNNN!!! Holy fucking shit. This guy should be killed!! I mean a comment, OK, maybe just life in prison, but a FUCKING STATUS UPDATE!?!?!?!?11!?! NOT ON MY WATCH MISTER!!!!

To be fair, redhampshire probably has an interest in getting the guy who made the comment removed from office so they can get their own guy in. Hence why the politician is stupid for making the remark where other people could see it. I doubt they're legitimately outraged by it.
