Okay about that scene in Pulp Fiction when Jules accidentally shoots Melvin in the face…the boyfriend CRACKED UP at that part and I didn’t find it funny (or offensive for that matter, just kind of odd and unexpected) and I kinda worried about him there for a couple minutes. So I guess he’s normal! 🙂

As for me, I don’t feel guilty for laughing at anything. I like Family Guy, Mallrats, MXC, Larry the Cable Guy and all that good stuff. The only thing I feel guilty laughing about is when people fall down. Because when someone falls down in real life I laugh even harder than if someone falls down on TV. I don’t care what anyone says, people tripping or falling is the funniest thing ever.

Don’t worry…Dave Chappel’s show is really really funny!!!

everything is meant to be laughed at.

Now, Married with Children…that show makes me feel dirty…like i have to take a shower after watching it…

does anyone else feel this way about this show…just makes me feel dirty.
