El Bourricot Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Persons donating beef to Burundi will be eligible for a selection of gifts, from a "Thank You For The Life-Sustaining Beef" tote bag for a six-ounce donation to a lifetime of indentured servitude from a Burundi male for 12 or more ounces. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :x :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravager Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Having a laugh at peoples hunger is absolutely sick! 1) It's The Onion, a satiracle newspaper. Nothing is meant to be true. 2) Why the hell are you posting here if you don't like it and are offended by it. It's posted in the Jokes & Funny Stuff forum so people don't take it literally and soil themselves whining about it. People have different senses of humor, so if someone else's idea of "funny" doesn't mix with yours very well, don't complain. And if you worry so much about those people, why don't you do something about it like start donating food to 3rd world countries instead of sitting on your ass staring at your monitor and bitching about it.

rezza Veteran Posted June 27, 2003 Author Veteran Share Posted June 27, 2003 well said ravager. also, the article is not taking the **** out of famine-stricken people, it is satirising the often ridiculous charity pleas which help said people.

El Bourricot Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I did find most of the article funny, but the last bit about slave trade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezza Veteran Posted June 27, 2003 Author Veteran Share Posted June 27, 2003 I did find most of the article funny, but the last bit about slave trade... i interpreted the last bit as a stab at the terrible way the local people are treated when it comes to distributing the charitable goods... ie they make all the locals do all the work.

From your point of view, I should have not voiced my opinion because of a differing sense of humour. But then, you do the same with me, so if my idea of humour is different from yours, why do YOU complain then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I found it funny. If I didn't find it funny, I wouldn't try to make the guy feel bad or turn others against him for what his idea of "funny" is. Argue all you want, but there's always the saying "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
