Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: Historically, offensive jokes have gotten us more work than they've cost us.

[quote name="Injustice"]That's the whole point of networking: to find someone who can help you, and tell him a joke where the implied punchline isn't "thieves" (seriously, guy named The Left? This is why no one thinks you're posting in good faith), it's "Puerto Ricans." Unless you're Puerto Rican, in which case the point of networking is to, I don't know, learn how to steal car stereos better? I can't be the only one laughing at this situation. An entire industry is terrified their hacky molestation jokes are going to come back and rub them under their swimsuit until they pee. Think of all the comedy writers who spent this weekend scrolling through literal MILES of tweets, hands on their temples, wondering what the fuck was going on in their life in 2009 that caused them to type so much on the subject of "sweet boyhole." Some good could still come of this. The girl Spy Kid - have you seen the girl Spy Kid lately? Yowza - the girl Spy Kid could find some of the things I wrote about her years ago, when terms like "yowza" might've still been borderline inappropriate. She'd be disgusted, obviously, but also flattered and maybe a little intrigued? I already checked, she's not Puerto Rican, she's one of the other ones. So she should enjoy my Puerto Rican jokes as much as anyone else. And not only is my car stereo safe, her people are actually known for <i>installing</i> custom sound systems, so my future could be looking as bright as the sun they used to sacrifice each other to. If this were a video essay, here's where I'd put a clip from Mel Gibson's Apocalypto. Only I wouldn't really, because I'm afraid of copyright strikes. It's one thing to upset the girl Spy Kid's people - what are they going to do, run me over in their lowrider? I'd hear their jungle music coming from blocks away - it's another to upset Mel Gibson's people, because they control <i>everything</i>. And that's before you even consider how someone crossing Mel Gibson and paying for it is the plot of basically every Mel Gibson movie. <img src="https://i.imgur.com/jl7DfMx.jpg" height=443> <i>Every Mel Gibson movie worth seeing, anyway - The Man with Half a Face can kiss half my ass. I can't even look at someone with a severe facial deformity anymore without wanting to throw rotten fruit.</i>[/quote]
