I realzie some ppl may have a more evolved, call it, modernized since of humor than rather say my grandmother for instance…but I found this website. Altho the material is edgie and controversial, some may think its harmless and funny. Other people may think its discusting. So my question is: Is this site funny acording to your tastes/sence of humor? Just reply yes or no.
GQ is for questions with factual answers. IMHO is for opinions and polls.
Moved to IMHO.

No.
I’ll elaborate once this gets moved to the Pit.
No.
It’s not because I’m offended by it, it just lacks funny.
No. I don’t even think it’s intended to be funny.
Just not funny (to me), for various reasons - mostly because the entire site consists of just one joke, repeated over and over and over again. I find myself wondering if it isn’t actually a strawman put up by a pro-life faction.
Someone want to give me a hint about that link and if I can open it at work before I jump in here?
Well, satire isn’t always meant to be “funny”, like you’re going to belly laugh at it in some way.
However, satire usually has a point. This doesn’t really seem to be satirizing pro-choice or pro-life sides. So, I thought they might be satirizing the “debate” (like “Citizen Ruth”) but it really doesn’t even do that.
It almost seems like it’s satirizing people who say, “we should have more abortion” but there’s really no people out there saying that.
It just looks like something that was put together by a high school kid.
Definitely righty satire. Note the use of the term “partial birth abortions” in preference to “late term abortions,” and the preference for “baby” over “fetus”.
And bitter righty satire at that. There are even swipes at yuppies and Jewish-sounding do-gooders. “The time, stress, and responsibilities of parenthood would be left at the wayside and reallocated into our salaried, corporate jobs.” “The Lipcut Garment Foundation, one of our biggest supporters, has agreed to donate money for five abortions for every visitor our web site receives.”
All in all, a smelly, stealthy little piece of propaganda.
Some of the quotes on the “America, why did you abort your unborn child?” page made me laugh:
“I thought it was the American thing to do.”
“The angel Gabriel came to me one night and said, ‘Tonight you will conceive in your womb a baby, and you will name him Jesus.’ The next day I went straight to the clinic. That was the last thing I needed in my life.”
Really fucking lame.
No, and it’s not like they even tried to make it funny. It’s just a vicious, bitter piece of rant.
not in the least. It’s not a funny subject in the least either.
2% funny 98% pathetic
Like FlippyFly, waiting for confirmation/denial of SFW status.
But the second quote from Neurotik is pretty funny.
I’d say it’s safe, at least the first page… I didn’t go any further.
I’m not offended, but I don’t see much funny in it either. I find it mostly dumb.
It’s a pedestrian attempt at humor. Doesn’t work. Refer to “South Park” to see it done right.
If it less funny than South Park I amend my earlier post:
100% crap
The Church of Euthanasia is much better constructed.
Not funny. At all.
