Not really funny because it is true

    Like most things on this site that get laughs.

    Hey, we all have different thresholds. I've always been a gallows humor person. But through the whole thing, I was thinking "it's true. 50 cents a day from people would save careers. Fucking assholes." then someone would look forlornly at the camera like an Ethiopian baby with flies circling...and I'd laugh. Sorry.

    I'm all for dark humor and laughing at ourselves. For me it's not about threshold, it's just about what I think is funny. To me, that is stupid rather than funny. To each their own.

    The "star" of this video would work better losing about 60 pounds and then tossing footballs to Dan Marino and Mike Golic on the next round of Nutrisystem commercials.

    On another level, I'm sure Slate will be dishing this crap for at least another, oh, 3 or 4 years before all their venture capital money runs out and we get a true reading on their own P&L financial health---or lack of it.

    Anything can be funny with the right delivery. Even a play about Hitler in the spring.



    This was just mean.

    It was funny. I also enjoyed the poster behind her desk. A skull and crossbones with a clown nose and top hat.

    I did not find it funny at all. A complete fail in its delivery.
