Did we lost our humor?

Posted by hardyberlin on 11th April 2006

Sometimes I think, that this world has lost it’s sense of humor. Do you want to know why? Well, MTV brought out an animated comedy called "Popetown", and now some hardliners of the Catholic church are protesting against it. OK, they only do what is their legal right to do, they don’t throw bombs or anything else like the Muslims did. And what is MTV planing right now? They only want to show it in certain countries. And that is a kind of censorship!

Also the makers of "South Park" have made an episode with Mohammed and it’s still not sure if they will show it. They are frightened about the Muslim community. But we all have to think about that, and how it could end of. First the Muslims where protesting against the Mohammed caricatures, now Catholic hardliners are protesting against "Popetown" and tomorrow? Who will be next which is protesting against something? Politicians, Scientology, Big Business company’s, religious groups which are feeling embarrassed because people are dancing? We carefully must realize the consequences if we stop freedom of press, comedy and our rights. Do you really want to life in a world without fun??? No more comedy, no more Dick Chaney jokes, and also not being allowed to tell the truth because someone might be feeling annoyed? That would be a world without laughter, without any fun at all. It reminds me of the darkest parts of German history. And I must say, that is not that kind of world I wanna life in. Then I prefer to die, cause I will fight for my rights.

And here is a nice link to Zipperfish with a nice animation for everyone who haven’t lost his humor. Hardliners of any kind of religion better don’t use it.
