this is part of the reason why i though battleship pometkin was overrated.
using baby killing for shock value is just cheap

Sorry, wasn't offended by anything there.. fair enough if it did to you, maybe we're all just dead inside. I blame the internets..ranyilliams said:Ok Before commenting or voting watch the video.

Now my Question is, Do you find this slightly morbid/disturbing/dark.
i honestly was extremely uncomfortable watching this...
EDIT: ok a lot of people don't really find it that offensive it seems, i don't know maybe im just sensitive about the subject of murdering babies,
Anyway anyone care to offer their opinion on this banned Simpsons intro?

And that banksy Simpsons intro is the best thing he's ever done. I don't dig half-arsed hackneyed obvious jibes, but you could tell with the Simpsons intro he used his whole arse.
I couldn't get through the first minute. It was so damn boring! The subject matter is stupid too, even before it dives into the shock value joke. Basically: Stupid and unfunny skit needed to resort to "OMG WTF" "humor" to be found mildly interesting. I'll forget about this in a half hour, as everyone probably will.
EDIT: The Simpsons intro? Banksy is friggin genius first off. Secondly, this is funny because it's satire. It's dark, depressing, and does indeed hit close to home, but by the time you see the crying panda and withered unicorn you're able to chuckle. The difference between this and that other audio skit (because the thing isn't a video since they were too lazy to put it into one obviously) is wit.

I couldn't find either of them funny, but then again the rest of the world has a different definition of "offensive" than you. Anything that bothers me is offensive, but being offended doesn't mean I immediately hate the offendor, I simply avoid the source of offense. Having seen the videos, they offend me but I don't care if you watch them.
No goddammit you are not too sensitive. People are merely desensitized to a basic fundamental element of our psyche to protect our young and laugh at the very notion somebody could be offended because they themselves are not.ranyilliams said:Ok Before commenting or voting watch the video.

Well to be honest I assume that if you find it disturbing you are not part of the target audience. As the name implies "College Humor" targets people ages 18 all the way up to somewhere around 26ish. So just as you may not understand or be able to relate to many of their other videos, you would not find this entertaining.ranyilliams said:Ok Before commenting or voting watch the video.

(Also as someone who is part of the target audience I found it to be hysterical)
Oh! This too! I forgot to say this, but this person hit it on the nail.Saulkar said:
-Also know that half the people who say "I laughed" are often just replying out of a built-in urge to oppose any point of view that has the word "offensive" in the title. It's due in equal parts social desensitization, the inherent desire to be defiant, and ignorance.
-To the credit of this site, I'm glad to see only a handful of people saying anything like that. And who knows? They could be part of that other half that just finds it funny. God knows why, but to each their own. Just so long as they don't shoot a baby for laughs I don't care what they find funny. Anyway, quoter hit it on the head.
My thoughts exactly, a joke should be taken as just that, a joke. Whats worse is being offended on someone else's behalf when you have no idea what its actually like. Unless you have had someone close to you have had their baby get shot then I see no real reason to be offended. And yeah, my major complaint as it wasn't actually funny. I was was expecting an offensive joke and it failed on both counts. Shame.Dr Snakeman said:
I burst out laughing several times, but there were gunshots followed by sudden silence, so yea, someone's bound to take issue with it.

*BANG* Person:Took care of it!
Crowd: Yay!
EDIT: Just saw the banned Simpsons bit, seems Mr. Burns was put in charge of animation.
