I've been browsing about on Facebook and I've noticed that there are about a bazillion groups calling for the removal and banning of groups that tell dead baby jokes because they're "offensive" and "mock" the death of some dead baby in Britain.
First, I enjoy dead baby jokes. I find them HILARIOUS because they are just *so* outrageous and gross.
Second, there is an issue of freedom of speech. I believe people have the right to be disgusting, bigoted, etc if they so choose.
Third, dead baby jokes are just that- jokes. I don't think any sane enjoyer of dead baby jokes (myself included) would have *any* desire to actually kill or harm a baby. Do I like babies? No. Would I hurt one? No.
Fourth, I think it's really freaking pathetic when somebody contacts the school of an individual who is a member of a "Dead Baby Jokes Appreciation" groups in hopes of getting that individual expelled for telling tasteless jokes. Really? REALLY!? You are seriously trying to expel somebody for telling tasteless jokes? Well shiver me timbers, but most of my favorite comedians, films, and television shows are FULL of tasteless jokes (Eddie Izzard, George Carlin, Anything-by-Kevin-Smith-Except-the-Rotti ng-Piece-of-Crap-that-is-"Jersey Girl", SOUTH PARK). It's stupid to try to get somebody in trouble for telling tasteless jokes on a friggin' Facebook gorup- get over yourself.
So- to those who adamantly work to get people who tell and enjoy dead baby jokes in trouble or otherwise try to ruin their lives (ie calling child protective services on somebody who tells dead baby jokes and therefore wasting resources for REAL cases)- I give you a hearty middle-finger-salute. Seriously- get a life and/or a hobby instead of being a busybody piece-of-crap and harassing [assumed] college and high school students for telling tasteless jokes.
Now, I am off to go put babies on spikes. Cheers.

I totally forgot to write about this before!
I got my final bill from HCMC for my emergency room visit last month from dislocating my elbow and I thought it was so ridiculous that I should share how much that bitch would have cost me had I not been insured.
( My hospital bill costs as much as a semester of college at the U of MN... )
