We need a Humor Forum
No, not a Humor Group, but a Humor Forum that's on the Lobby just like the GD and LBN forums. Jokes would only be posted there, and moved by Mods to there from other forums.

This would do two things: cut down on the thousands of postings of jokes like the Brazilians story and "never underestimate the power of make-up," and because the Humor forum would be strictly jokes, they wouldn't just drift off into the archives.

Besides, after a day of this maladministration we all need a good laugh.

2. Sounds like a great idea!
I agree, this would be a most needed respite. Include political cartoons, too.

5. No, just the Brazilians jokes and other things of that nature
Bush is a joke, but most of the things he does are not funny.

6. Here's some humor ...
bush is so ugly. I just saw him on tv twisting his mouth, it looks like a crusty asshole.

7. Wouldn't work.
All the humorless drones on DU would march in and tell everyone their jokes are offensive/sexist/anti-vegan/whatever.

10. Nope, wouldn't work.
All the humorless drones on DU would march in and tell everyone their offensive/sexist/anti-vegan/whatever jokes.*



















To all humorless drones: That was a joke.

11. Agreed!
I'm not able to get to this site as often as I'd like, and I really miss the TOON threads.
For some reason too, it is very difficult to search and find them!
If we had a Humor Forum, it would make the search much easier!

12. why bother? Late breaking news is funny enough.
Edited on Sun Nov-20-05 05:10 PM by thebigidea
satire can't approach the surreal hilarity of headlines like "Rumsfeld: no lions were used on detainees" from last week.
