Meh I don't really see it that way. It's not like the makers of Family Guy are on the Viatnamese guys side, it's just a joke about how he is milking it for all it's worth because little old Vietnam managed to beat a massive global super power, almost as if it were the world cup or whatever.gamerguy473 said:Because the idiots at Family Guy can't tell the difference between totally tasteless and edgy.Jonesy911 said:What about that video made you lose faith in humanity?gamerguy473 said:

And because 3,000,000 people didn't die in that war (on both sides and civilians) so that family guy could write a joke.
Lets put it this way. What if Obama went to Hiroshima and in a speech said this: "OMG ROFL WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL YOUR ANCESTORS?? LOL ALL THEIR FLESH MELTED OFF THEIR BONES IN A NUCLEAR BLAST OMG LOLOLOLOL" Because that, and this video are basically the same thing.
Hold on.. have you ever met a Vietnam war Veteran who would agree with you? The lives lost in that war were not to be joked about. That war was in an attempt to douse the efforts of communism and free a trapped people... Family Guy does this shit all the time and it's why I don't watch it anymore. It's so tasteless and they don't know their effing' boundaries.Jonesy911 said:Meh I don't really see it that way.

To me it seems that people are simply offended by the idea that someone can make jokes about the Vietnam war. The way I see it, you can make jokes about anything it just depends on context. If a cartoon makes a joke about how Vietnam may be a little too proud of it's own victory that's fine. If that cartoon were to make an hour long parody of the Vietnam war in which they trivialised all aspects of it and showed no respect where it was due, that would not be ok in my eyes.Pholark said:Hold on.. have you ever met a Vietnam war Veteran who would agree with you?

In that case, why should we have hope(or lack thereof) in an entire species to start with?Spot1990 said:Every species has survived through every disaster that it occurred when it existed.

I can't loose hope in something that has fought and survived through every damn catastrophe since it first existed.
Yeah, this could also be my reason. While I *am* a dramatic teen in some respects, I rarely think that misery and pessimism are edgy or cool.-Samurai- said:Nothing. Because I'm not some dramatic teen looking for an excuse to pretend to be miserable.
Holy crap, your third point is exactly the same as mine, although that makes me gain hope for the entertainment industry.jojolagger said:1. 1 in every Thousand deaths is caused by Anorexia Nervosa. (Which only exists due to media and social pressure.)
