    That was not funny. It was insensitive. I can't believe that in this day and age people are making light of the plight that was tragic for billions of people a little less than a century ago. Would you find it funny if people started making jokes about the U.S. World Trade Center tragedy that took place on 9/11/2001? What if people started making jokes like that in 2061? Would that upset you? Put yourself in the position of the relatives of the victims of 9/11. Do you think they would take kindly to such jokes? Of course not. All it takes is some basic logic and a little politness to realize that the holocaust is no laughning matter and it never will be. Stupid ass hats. I hate people like you. You sicken me. I think I'll go vomit on behalf of your failure to amuse.

    I live in Alabama, and because of all the damned light pollution, I can't see shit.

    Light pollution? In Alabama? Just turn off the light in the outhouse and you'll be fine.

    a) It's a freaking OFFICE SPACE JOKE, ya think Mike Judge caught shit for writing it.... no I think not. b) I find it funny and I am the grandson of a surviver, who ALSO found it (and the movie it's self ) funny. Well ok the fish thing wasnt so funny to her but still!!!! c) It's over-sensitive people like you who start wars over stupid shit you should just shrug off, instead of letting everyone be themselves and just leave everything well enough alone.
