Political and politically incorrect humor
 

The official thread for humor that's a little too partisan for the Daily Smile thread. I'll start us off:
==================
Three men - a Canadian farmer, Osama bin Laden and a White Trash Biker are all walking together one day. They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it. 'I will give each of you one wish, which is three wishes in total', says the Genie.

The Canadian says, 'I am a farmer and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada . POOF! With the blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was forever fertile for farming.

Osama was amazed, so he said, 'I want a wall around Afghanistan , Palestine , Iraq , and Iran so that no infidels, Americans or Canadians can come into our precious land.' POOF! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall around those countries.

The Biker says, 'I am very curious. Please tell me more about this wall..' The Genie explains, 'Well, it's about 5,000 feet high, 500 feet thick, and completely surrounds the country. Nothing can get in or out; it is virtually impenetrable.' The Biker sits down on his Harley, cracks open a beer, lights a cigar, smiles and says, 'Fill it with water.'

But fortunately the biker had already used up the third wish with his question about the wall, so the mass murder was prevented. :p

haha, LOL I was thinknig the same thing.

Explaining different religions to the Hollywood generation. Not so much funny as interesting and amusing.

Very clever!! :)

I've been carrying that one with me all day .. THANKS! :D

All politics aside, I do find this very funny.

They could send them home, but I'm afraid their wives would just send them back again. :)

Talking of politically incorrect humour I see that Chris Morris has a satirical movie about suicide bombers coming out, should be interesting to watch.

In a similar vein (In the original story it was the Lord who was the wishmaster, but since I am in a genie mood…):

A genie is de-lanterned by a german, a russian and a jew, and grants each of them a wish.

The german: "Destroy Russia".
The russian: Destroy Germany.
…
The Jew: Will you fulfill the other two's wishes?
The Genie: Yes.
The jew: In that case, I'd like a cup of coffee.

Satire of the upcoming State of the Union. Some probably won't enjoy it as much as I did, but it's pretty darn funny. A sample:

A bit harsh, but there's no doubt he got the cadence and the style down pat. :)

This isn't entirely topical, but I came across it today and giggled.

"The Ted Haggard Is Completely Heterosexual Song." (Is it possible to embed YouTube clips in posts, btw?)

I frequent other fora where politics are discussed, and a thread about Osama bin Laden's take on climate change spurred an interesting development:

This turned into a discussion of Osama's viability as a presidential candidate based on his youtube releases:

Hilarious! I loved the 'not a beltway insider' bit. :lol:

EDIT: Was going to put this in the republican thread, but decided it's just not to be taken seriously, even though it will probably get some coverage as being serious, I can't force myself to look at it that way.

I have my doubts about how this poll was conducted, but in the interests of further poking dte with sharpened sticks, here are the results from a Daily KOS/Research2000 poll of 2,000 self identified republicans. (They don't say how many of them are institutionalized, but do note some may be residing in small isolated hamlets down in Dixie or in the Blue Ridge Mountains…;) ) All the bolding and bracketing is mine:
the Huffpo summary:
I hear banjo music…

hmmm, and americans wounder why foreigners sometimes think they are stupid ?

Since the forum is fine with low-brow material I bring some more stuff from that other forums:D

I've heard the elephant joke told about Finns instead of Soviets. The Finnish contribution was "The Elephant and the Finnish Winter War (1939-1940)."

>Germany submitted 24 volume set under the title "Introduction into elephantology."

I can subscribe to this one.

Back in the 70's, in my second year at med school I found a german book on histology (how cells organize themselves to form tissues, which for organs in the body).

It was book 8 in volume 4 of the "Handbuch der Histologie des Menschen" ("Handbook of human histology"). Volume 4 covered the human nervous system. Book 8 consisted of 800 pages covering allocortex, one of the 3 types of cerebral cortex in humans.

I never found out the total number of books and pages.

Yeah, that particular one targets national stereotypes as much as it targets communism. Germany is infamous for it's volimunous treatises throughout the academic world:p
