Not funny. Downright blah after the past hour I just spent at [Engrish.com](http://Engrish.com).

But not as funny as the (essentially) same gag in **Team America: World Police**.

Cartoon vomit. Funny. Puppet vomit. Funnier.

YMMV.

I think it’s hilarious. But then again, I’m pro-life.  
I’d like to see you guys post your life/choice stance alongside whether you think it’s funny. Maybe you think it’s not funny because it’s just too personally attacking your side. Just a WAG.

I don’t see how being pro-life would make this hilarious. I can see that you might approve of the general message of the site or appreciate the satire from your perspective, but _hilarious_? It’s like one of the (far too frequent) SNL skits that takes one joke and spends 10 minutes replaying it. It _might_ be funny the first time. The 60th? Nope. I think it would be much more effective to throw a few of the funnier ones out there and then talk about the real message they are trying to impart. Otherwise it feels deceptive and overextended.

Oh, cmon. I can’t be one of the very few people here who find it utterly hilarious.

The site wasn’t funny, and neither was **fishquail** ’s lack of spelling ability.

Nope. It _could_ have been funny, if it had a spark of originality or wit. Alas, it has neither.

I finally remembered about this thread again

Most of it just seemed to be trying too hard to shock, so it wasn’t really funny. The bit I did like, on the second page, probably wasn’t even intended to be funny.

There is absolutly nothing funny about pink text on a black background. The site designer should be drawn and quartered for that alone.

Well maybe not drawn and quartered but it did make my eyes hurt.

PS: You guys are reading the actual site itself and not just thespash page (of quotes) right? Thats what I was asking about. But anyway…

So the vote is in:

```
               49 say: NO
                1 say: YES
                3 say: Almost.

```

Thank you. Aparently abortion is a sensitive subject. I have learned something.

PPS: I refuse to spell check and you cant do anythign about it. -other than insult me or maybe just not read it. Goodbiy.
