I would edit, however this is going rather fast...
Mark, do you think Chaplin would have made that pic in 1952?
Why is it that comedians do not use that subject for 'humour' (that I've ever heard).
Answer. It ain't funny to a lot of people.(\__/)

Can you answer my strapon question, Mark
I can post it now if you want"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I think the picture is okay, but the text should be changed to "Don't be Niggardly...Buy Apolyton." ducks and runs"I have as much authority as the pope. I just don't have as many people who believe it." — George CarlinComment

Before several million people died it might have been funny.
Do you think it retains that humour factor?(\__/)

I don't see anything wrong with it. Now if it said "by 'poly or I will kill one million jews", then I would have a problem with it. Its the same line of humour as the "soup nazi" joke." Conceit, arrogance, and egotism are the essentials of patriotism." - Emma Goldman

Rule of Thumb
If you really have to ask "should I run this banner", the answer is no.
The object of advertising is to sell your product, and one of the ways to do that is not to offend people.
Stick to something safer, there's no point in this ****."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

nye, Yes it is! And it reminds me of the hilarious "Adolf Hitler world tour" T-shirt. Which had the Führer on the front and tour dates on the back. With 'Cancelled' stamped over the England gig...
Not many people see the irony though

fascism was not "bad" after the discovery of the holocaust. it was before that too....Mark, do you think Chaplin would have made that pic in 1952?
nobody did much with fascism after the war simply because the issue was communism not fascism.....
i'm sure no advertising company never asks that question or does market research...If you really have to ask "should I run this banner", the answer is no.Co-Founder, Apolyton Civilization Site

They made those "Two Wongs can make it White" cartoon t-shirts about a laundromat thinking it was pretty funny, but pretty soon they had people protesting and boycotting their store so they later pulled it and apologized"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

I can not believe that a person exposed to a liberal education after 1950 could say that in all seriousness.
You must be trolling. Has AH got hold of your log on?(\__/)
