On one hand, the jokes did get some good laughs and also didn't do much other than state the facts (albeit in an intentionally humorous way), but when talking about the more serious topics, such as religion and rights, there's a chance that somebody who has strong opinions about these topics might be offended by somebody making a joke of them.]]> 2022-09-14 15:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/20130110ms/3l15aotkc0xw5rph/wish/2296623551 https://padlet.com/20130110ms/3l15aotkc0xw5rph/wish/2296623803 Comedy is never a win win situation, cause there will always be people who’ll hate your humour, and few will love it.
