You need a TIC in there somewhere.

Shouldn't she be allowed protection under the law?

If this woman had a smart attorney she would file suit against the state of Oklahoma and sue for the right to get married to the 3 dogs, after all what she does in the bedroom is no right of the "moral" state of Oklahoma.

Having dated a lot of you posters, I can honestly say that of all CBers and CGers, HFN is the best at tongue in cheek.

He is has some other good moves, but tongue in cheek is his specialty.

Trust me on this one.

No kidding.

So you are offended, what to do? I know! Make a poll about it so just in case someone missed the post they will be sure to read it now. But wait, I can also then trumpet my asserted moral superiority at the expense of someone who may not even know I am doing this. SU, is this your effort at substituting for Waters? I pass.

To me it seemed obvious he was mocking Levin. Nobody would have praised the actions of those morons, so when it appears completely ludicrous it must be somebody's attempt at sarcasm.

Have you ever read the Onion?

You guys are all unnecessarily hostile. I took HFN at his word. This is the kind of thing that someone prone to sophomoric humor of a particularly unintelligent type would find funny. (See, e.g., T Blue's post.) Moreover, I was influenced by Levin's conclusion (that preceded my post by a long time) that he was being serious. I was also misled by HFN's avatar, which seemed to depict someone prone to idiotic sophomoric humor.

So I pointed out some salient subtleties that might be lost on someone prone to idiotic sophomoric humor. (See T Blue's post.) For example, that the woman was likely a victim of abuse by her husband, who was filming, and the son's experience must have been horrifying.

HFN, now chastened, responded that he was being "sarcastic," making fun of Levin. I still don't get the sarcasm. How is it possibly sarcastic to say it's "the greatest" story ever? Perhaps had he said this is a great family story from the great state of Oklahoma (still lame, yes) it would have sounded like sarcasm, but not what he said. It sounded, to an objective mind, like a lame attempt at Animal House humor.

If he was making fun of Levin, how so? If he was posting a photo-shopped Gorilla being sent to the guillotine, I would agree. But I've not seen Levin come out againt bestiality, not until this thread.

Why didn't he reveal the sarcastic intent until my more explicit condemnation. (If he was making fun of Levin's serious disposition this was a sick way to do it, like leaving a boiling rabbit on his stove.)

In any event, I didn't call bullshit on HFN's ex post fact explanation. Levin did. I said nothing. I just posted a poll to see what everyone else thought. And because it was SU's poll everyone has their back up, feeling sorry for HFN, who probably doesn't deserve it. You've treated me unfairly. (I'm not trying to be Waters, I said today he's irreplaceable.)

I see how a "TIC" would have ruined this post. Well done my friend.

I don't need TIC's. Does a real trapeze artist need a net?
