Supreme Court Upholds Little Caesar?s Right to Feed Christian Employees to Lions

 

[Mark 1911]

I applaud the SCOTUS for upholding the 1st amendment which protects not only religious freedom, but freedom of speech, including the right to write really stupid sh*t and post it on the internet. Great to be an American.

I read the whole article...I don't get it.

I mean, I get the point they're trying to get at, but it loses any humorous value because the situations, causes, and effects are so far removed that the parody and the event might as well be totally unrelated.

satire is funny. logical fallacies disguised as satire are not.

This.

We need them speaking. It lets us know who we can stand with and who needs to be kept at a safe distance.

 

[mrjarrell]

That was funny. I don't care who you are.

Yea that's about as tasteful as joking about burning Jews in an oven.

I expected no more from you.

It's a joke, guys! Lighten up. Don't be so sensitive. Geez, I never expected to find PC right here on this forum! Don't push me off my wheelchair, PC police!

 

[MisterChester]

I would not be shocked to see that kind of dreck come from this court, but funny nevertheless.

Oh, make no mistake. The joke is politically correct.

What about the freedom to start the next Crusade? Nobody touched on that, or crucifixion, that made hours of endless reading?

 

[Vigilant]

Why is this in political, and not the break room? It's obviously satire,and not political!

Honestly I can take some ribbing, but the joke is poorly thought out. Although the Roman executions were motivated by emperor worship, they're still generally thought of as primarily government-related executions rather than religious ones. A better joke might have mentioned the Supreme Court acknowledging the right for Catholic companies to impose the Inquisition on Protestant employees since it more clearly displays the religious motivation for the action. "Catholic company X demanded the right to use thumbscrews on at least 3 Protestant employees per quarter" would have been chuckleworthy, IMO.

 

[ModernGunner]

It'd be okay IF it was funny. But it's not.

It's not 'satire', it's not 'parody', and it's not 'humor'. It doesn't even qualify as 8 year-old-boy 'fart humor'.

This is what happens when some 'blogger' has an IQ the same number as their shoe size.

Gee thanks for the history lesson...

'fart humor' is funny! This, not so much.

 

[IndyDave1776]

The joke isn't funny and the underlying point being conveyed is dumber than owl sh*t. Claiming a First Amendment right to preemptively harm members of a differing religious group has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with not forcing people to violate their own religion with their own actions in order to accommodate others of differening religous views or lack thereof.
