So you thought the egg joke was bad?

[edit] I got rid of the bad joke (email me if you want it) I still think it is funny, but obviously not even the Soapbox is a good place for it and I don't want to offend people THAT badly... Seems only two people on Earth actually think it is funny... me and the comic author... One last thought... is it not weird that we can all have a good laugh at a joke about Allah or Buddha or virtually any other god/religions but Jesus and Christianity is a no go zone?[/edit] (Not for the faint of heart, weak of faith or politically correct) Doing the Hokey Pokey, did anyone else try not to laugh and fail? And a good one made by our very own, benjymous.[^]

Ah yes. That irrationality aside I have seen enough sick jokes about other deities and religions here on CP to see there is big hypocrisy in this area. It is ok to ridicule Allah, but not Jesus. Same with outside of CP, in "real" life. People have a good laugh about some Islamic fundamentalist getting rodgered by a goat, but they are shocked when the same joke has a Christian in it. Anyway I don't want to make this a big issue.

I have heard several 9/11 jokes and one Bali joke. As demonstrated by this whole thread I am pretty relaxed (and perverse) in regards to joke material, but 911 and Bali jokes are just not on. As for space shuttle jokes (I assume you mean the Challenger incident, 1986 right?) I would find that pretty sick too, enough not to laugh. I wonder how many years we will have to wait till the first 9/11 movie comes out?
