randomly snarky

Last week's buzz about South Park and Borat's premiere got me thinking about my own sense of humor. 

I didn't draw too many conclusions but realized that the dark nature of my taste can occasionally surprise me. Of course it's in my genes -- the Irish are known for our sardonic takes on life.

I personally dislike toilet humor but beyond that it's fair game -- outside of unfunny material. I particularly dislike the lousy joke teller who insists they're funny.

Last week's Halloween ep of South Park is a good example of an offensive pick-me-up. I was saddened by Irwin's death but "his" appearance at Satan's party... c'mon, even Satan thought it was too soon! While I recognize why his family would be upset, the audacity was the heart of the joke.
