Emmy plane crash skit called Insensitive or how Mill got pwned

[mugs]

Ouch

 

[preslove]

I think this thread deserves a PWNING of the year award.

 

[torpid]

Come on, everyone knows that cringing is not the same thing as getting a knot in your stomach. When you get a knot in your stomach your face makes more of a slight frown, not a cringe.

I would like to hear what the hypocrite has to say for himself after constantly calling people "stupid" and bad at logic throughout this thread.

They just need to get the fvck over it. What the heck are the families of those killed watching the Emmy's for anyway?

There is NO right or guarantee int is country that you have the right NOT to be offended. Grow the fvck up and get over it. Sorry for your loss, but you are a stooooopid brain dead moron if you allow anything on TV to have any control over your life.

I feel the need to keep this thread bumped until we get Mill's lame excuse during which he will attempt to blanket-insult all of us recent posters.

:thumbsdown::disgust:

Gee maybe as some sort of diversion????????

So what are you for allowing a post to control your life?

You probably will not catch on so here is it- As evident by your name calling, you let this post get ahold of your life. As you lost control by stating some thing in a 4th grade tirade. Instead of posting some thing that shows restraint but still making your point. I used to be like that too but with the help of my meds, I am feeling muuchh better now.

WTF is wrong with all these pansy ass people these days?

I knew it was only a matter of time before someone posted that cancer thread. I was thinking about it when Mill posted the various diatribes. I was too lazy to search for it, but I was thinking - "didn't that guy post the april fool's joke about lymph nodes or something?"


now we're at a tougher decision - what's funnier? the skit or Mill getting pwnt? I laughed pretty hard at both situations


then again, I know know how it feels to get pwnt. My dad was pwnt a few years ago, he said he had a medical degree, it turns out he had us all fooled. The results were disastrous - he never posted in an online forum again.

I'm trying to find the point in all of this. My father died in a plane crash. Does that mean I don't find plane crash jokes funny? Don't even say there aren't those kinds of jokes because there are. Does it mean I cringe anytime someone says something like that? No. I've lost people to cancer as well, but it doesn't mean I can't find a joke(which wasn't making fun of people with cancer) related to cancer funny. Freaking Lewis Grizzard used to make jokes all the time about his heart condition. People who get offended at this stuff are touchy, dry people. Some people who I actually offended I did apologize, but those of you who are piling on, or saying my mother's brothers' dog died from cancer is ridiculous. Who hasn't had a family member die from cancer?

If you can't find any humor in this then I apologize, but saying it can't be funny or it is sacred is stupid. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I knew there would be some that would be mad instead of laugh. I knew that. A risk I took. For the record I really do have a serious sleeping and fatigue problem, but even I can laugh at my own problems. I make fun of myself all the time. What's wrong with that?

I had a friend in Atlanta that used to always make jokes about Planes and stuff to bug me. He was Jewish so I started making Jewish jokes about him. Neither one of us took it personally, and we were not life long friends or anything. Just casual friends that knew how to have a good time. There would be a difference if someone was actually insulting you for you actual personal problem or insulting your family member. I've actually used the phrase "as funny as a train wreck" or "as funny as Flight 93" before. It isn't meant to make fun of people that suffered through something. Read into whatever you want. I knew this would become a "train wreck" or a "plane crash" because people are too damn touchy.

the skit was made days before the crash even happened.. its not like the crashed happened and NBC was like "hey lets do a plane crash!"... waaay too much overreaction..

Yet they had 12+ hours to cancel the skit / make a new one / put up a black bground with some scrolling text explaining the situation.

while they could have done such. why should they? people die every day. while a tragic accident there was no reason to pull the skit.

But you do NOT care because it didn't have an effect on YOU. If your bull was being gored you'd be bitching yourself, and you are a damn liar if you say otherwise. I've seen too many people on this forum try to play like they are above such petty crap, and then they go and complain about a local story in their newspaper, or that two lesbians kissed on TV.

This was a major disaster in the eyes of the aviation industry, and it ended almost five years of commercial flights without a major disaster. That's pretty big news to me and others, but since it didn't have an effect on your little corner of the world you don't give a sh!t.

It didn't effect 99.99999999% of the country either, so why the hell should the .0000001 affect the rest of the folks. Now 9/11 affected the whole nation as basically everyone in the country was involved. Sh1t, I'm afraid of clowns, does that mean that they should stop all circuses. Hell no, it means I don't go to the damn circus.

wait wait wait...backup.

YOU'RE AFRAID OF CLOWNS?????

Killer Clown ............... from outer space

What a minute my clown thing was funny.................... or not

Yup, it reads the same as how I posted it earlier in the thread.

This thread is gold Jerry, gold!

We have the hilarity of the plain crash skit from Conan, then Mill making a cancer joke (everyone knows cancer is hilarious,) then Mill getting owned.

This thread delivers.

And for the record, I like Mill, he's my kinda guy. But this thread is just spectacular.

B/C it's easier to replace a movie with a rerun than it is to replace a pre-taped portion of a scriped emmy show with dead air and awkwardness sp?

Good point, there is nothing worse than an idiot being forced to adlib on live TV - witness sportscasters, newscasters, the president, etc.

"They could have killed the opening and it wouldn't have hurt the show at all," Gilbert said. "We wish somebody had thought this through. It's somewhere between ignorance and incompetence."

What a complete and utter tool. Only way he could ever get his name in the press, apparantly. I thought it was the only part of the show worth watching, hence why I skipped the show and watched the opening later online.

Anandtech is set as my start page, so I've opened IE today, but I've been at class and haven't looked at the forum yet.. All I can say is that it does appear I was a hyporcrite with my remarks. For that I apologize. I still, however, feel there is a difference between a joke on the day of an event, and a joke on just a random day. That's why I don't have a problem with the Scrub's jokes about cancer or other medical diseases. I just found NBC not cutting the skit on the day of the crash as being distasteful. Obviously, I am a hypocrite for my comments, but I was being honest. I guess I just feel differently now than I used to.
