Comedy should have no barriers. If you start putting imaginary lines everywhere whereby anything past it is unacceptable and anything under it is acceptable and therefore fine to joke about, you create a 'scale of offense', and that is inconsistent. Who decides when the line has been crossed?

Either everything is acceptable or nothing is, and nobody wants to live in a world where we can't joke about anything, therefore I think 'everything is acceptable' wins, (or should do anyway, so long as the jokes are contextual, and I'd say this is.)

For what it's worth, I don't think it's one of the better threads on the forum, but I have no problem with it myself.
I think its time for another poll wheres Whiskey?

It's a joke, whether you think it's funny or not is up to you, but I disagree with it being sick and fucked up.

Posting about kidnapping a child as a joke and actually kidnapping one are two very different things.
Thank you for that

you would think by now ppl would have a sense of detachment to such horrible things cause there in lays the humour

it's to laugh at what you shouldn't laugh, to play with ppl's sense of morality and your own

i once heard Matt and Trey from South park say
"Either is ok to make fun of everything or nothing is"

(Not sure if i said it right)

Comedy doesn't have morals, everything should be allowed in it.
it's like you said

don't confuse a joke with a reality

Agreed. Most of our favorite comedians have poked at something we find personally offensive. You can't appease everyone. Censorship blah blah blah...

Difference between jokes and detailed methods for doing it.

So if we're not deleting warranted things today, can I post a "no1curr" gif?

is there a nicer way to make fun of this topic? if so show me..

like i said, i realise some ppl won't find this funny at all but you can't speak for all ppl some will

is it tasteless? oh for sure, im not debating that, so if mods wanna close it i would understand
however who are we offending? fictitious children?

Good idea.

Try & aim a little higher when thinking of thread topics to discuss & leave crap like this to places like 4 chan.

We're discussing it right now. It's a little different than preemptively deleting a serial de-rail gif whose sole purpose is to troll and not add anything to a discussion. You already know that, so I don't know why you're asking.
