Comments on When Sports Shit-Talk Goes Too Far

9/11 jokes begin and end with the "Never forget" knock-knock. All others are tasteless and unforgivable.

Why is it whenever I look at internet ass-hattery like this, my first thought is, "I think John Bailo's really gone too far this time."

Actually, 9/11 jokes begin and end with:

Q. What is Osama bin Laden's favorite drink?
A. A kamikaze.

That is so tasteless. I can't believe I let myself write that!

that last one (on original post) didn't seem as bad as the others, nor did the joke @3. i suppose if it's an osama joke about planes and jets it doesn't strike me as quite as tasteless as jokes about the victims themselves.

I worked there. You're an asshole if you think that shit is funny. Leave it at that. Don't dignify it by spreading it around and trying to get people riled up. It's just depressing.

Oh, please. Spare me the histrionics. Comedy = tragedy + time. This shit will be comedy gold in a few years.

After all, these are the same sports shit-talkers that wanted to rename the Sonics the Oklahoma City Bombers. No one made a fuss about that, save the pigfuckers in that godforsaken state.

The guys on the big blue interactive thread are pretty funny - they called the original poster (and owner of the website)'s boss after he listed his work contact details in his WHOIS information.

Western Washington is the home of welfare for morons.

absolutely brilliant. i've appreciated 9/11 jokes since '02, it's nice to see other locals come around.

it's also funny to see a stranger writer chiding another website for lack of class. THAT is classic.

great post all around.

I agree that abstract jokes about 9/11 (the never forget knock knock joke) and jokes about Al Qaeda or Osama Bin Laden can be funny. But... I'm wih @4. Jokes about the victims are not funny. At least not yet.

9/11 forgive and forget

That's fantastic. People need to get the fuck over 9/11 already. Fuck 9/11 and all the sanctimony surrounding it.

Easy to say when your pussy ass lives in Seattle.

i think the seahawks should forfeit their next 5 games because of this.

Quick...someone put a McCain sign in his yard!
