God's not funny. Where is God funny? Point to one verse of the Bible where God is joking around.

And by funny I mean funny ha ha, not funny weird, which is totally easy to find evidence for.

God is funny.

But not in front of all those who claim to follow Him/Her, cause they have no sense of humor.

God is hilarious. (The Bible is the set-up, Christian fundamentalists are the punchline.)

Aardvark: one of god's creatures and very funny. Also, see Giraffe Sex.

Hmph. Maybe giraffes think People Necking would be fall-down funny.

But I'm with you on aardvarks.

Not to start any blasphemous rumors, but I think that God's got a sick sense of humor.

how is this funny? take something powerful and hard and turn it into empty white ironic drivel. this is just offensive to the soul.

Not really funny. Reminds me of those two smug rich girls Dan Savage likes. They should all meet and hang out.

I love it, because it cracks me up, and also because it highlights the key fact that Precious isn't good (or bad) because of its subject matter, but because of how the subject matter is handled. (Artfully.)

Precious is a good, serious movie, and it can withstand this kind of shit with ease.

(But that smug Juno line seemed to come out of nowhere and bugs me..)

It's funny because it's read by college educated upper middle class white people!
