I agree. Reading is hard.

No one complained about Tebow talking about God, they pointed out how ridiculous he appeared with his over-the-top-Jesus-is-my-left-tackle nonsense as well as the fact that he aligns himself with a vicious and mean-spirited strain of Christianity that is at the forefront of every ugly right-wing bigoted Christian…

"some unethical things in the past."

I'm confused as to why this man thinks that a local police department would have any influence over an NFL team. It's like if I ran at Zeus with a butter knife.

Sad but true. That list of stats on success rates of indictments nationwide paints it pretty clearly: Nearly 100% of indictments end up succeeding, unless the person being indicted is a cop, in which case it almost never happens.

He ran for MO State Senate this year. He was supported in that run by Governor Jay Nixon, the same guy that refused to remove McCulloch from the Ferguson case. There's some dirty shit going on, and they really don't want people to know about it.

And then he lied about the actions of his superior, saying the guy yelled at him and threatened him. Turned out had a recording proving he was lying. That's when he was finally fired. Then became police chief of a neighboring town.

stop moving the goal posts for what we find offensive as a nation

That's because them there boys oughta be worrying more about playin' fuhbah and less about them there fust amenments.

So viewed, the record reveals that in July 1997, Roorda attempted to try to "cover" for another police officer by filing a report that contained false statements as to what happened during a suspect's apprehension and arrest.   As a result of this false report, all charges against the defendant involved were dropped,…

Like the old joke goes; "you fuck one goat..." Well, SLPOA how do I put this gently? Um, you've been fucking a lot of goats lately.

I thought it was offensive when the officials by the goal line kept making that same gesture in St. Louis today. Enough is enough.

Well put. Satire requires more than simply saying something bigoted with a lazy, tacit "uh but I don't really believe that" in the background. As if one dimensional sarcasm was hilarious satire in and of itself. Also, even if one does embrace Seth MacFarlane's jokes as purely satirical, how could one possibly find his…

Last paragraph is right on.

Oh man, I'd forgotten how horrible that was. (They compare a man wanting to be a woman to a man wanting to be a dolphin, don't they? Ugh.) But they got it right with Mr/Mrs Garrison so many times too - for example, the first Mr Slave episode, which is dedicated to pointing out that Mr Garrison is a bad person because…

I saw the "cunt" joke as commentary on the sexist Anne Hathaway hating. Calling an exuberant young girl a cunt is reprehensible, but calling Anne Hathaway the same? No big deal. She's an adult. She should have grown out of her precociousness... The fact that this joke has been the subject of massive outrage leads me…

Well, for me (and I acknowledge that others may disagree) South Park is USUALLY pretty good about tip-toeing the line. So they'll do things like have Cartman do something terrible, but the POINT is that Cartman is a terrible, sociopathic monster of a human being. Whereas when Peter Griffin is terrible it's played off…

But I didn't need it explained to me....

Oh, no, I got it. I got it when the exact same jokes were made about Roman Polanski and Woody Allen and every other time I've heard the same gag over and over again. I get the gag, but it's tired and it's been done a million times. Just like the same tired gag about 'the Jews running Hollywood.' And women never let…

Good primer, but with all that typing, no wonder folks avoid it.
