Part...Eh, sorry I can't get on board with this one. Partly because it's ambiguous who the "butt" of the joke really is. It could be argued the video has a point to it that is parallel to your own feelings about the issue, but stated in a tone that you find distasteful in which case you're trying to establish a taboo against parody and crude guy-humor based on the sensitivities of squeamish gals.<BR/><BR/>You probably feel your tirade still has some merit here. I agree that in this case, it does. But you know...once you start down that slippery slope...we're not going to stop until I can't tell blond jokes in the privacy of my own living room, and I'm forced to go to church on Sunday afternoons instead of Hooter's. And I luvs me my hawt wings.<BR/><BR/>Now, there WAS a skit on the Man Show, which is one of my favorites, that I felt might have been out-of-bounds. It was a service kind of like a witness relocation program for fellas in this position, where you can move to Bolivia where they'll never ever find you, and then I would guess your pregnant girlfriend is be reduced to being one more single-mom in search of a rich childless software engineer to play stepdaddy. I find that more offensive than "Abortionman" because the whole "boys will be boys" undertone was more in-your-face. Or maybe it's more accurate to say, the "boys will be boys" took center-stage as the whole point of the humor. Ha ha, isn't it funny how guys & gals look at babies differently. Well yes it IS funny...until you're talking about guys wanting to move out of the country to avoid their responsibilities and let someone else raise their kid, AND that should be pandered-to by some made-up service, AND that is the only point to the joke.<BR/><BR/>That's not the case here. The undertone of the video seems to be condemning "Abortionman" and this fellow that he is "rescuing," albeit in a jocular way.<BR/><BR/>Although I can appreciate if someone's been through this procedure, that scene where the "rescuing" actually takes place would be really disturbing.mkfreeberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265933747192068934noreply@blogger.com
