    Lol. Hilarious. One of my best friends Jewish...she'd find this funny. So, I'm allowed to laugh :D

    Did I miss the sarcasm font or are you serious? I really hope that I missed the font... So anyone that has a black friend can use the N-word if the friend for some reason uses it?

    Once again I am sorry if you were joking, but if not smh...

    Not at all what I said. I have black friends too. Doesn't mean I will use the "N" word. And just because one of my best friends is Jewish, doesn't mean I'll use the "K" word either.

    Wah wah, go cry. It's funny.

    And yes...there may have been some intentional "trolling" behind the "I have a friend so it's OK" statement. Still funny though.

    Some people don't find humor in laughing at people because of their weight, even though it does not personally offend them in any possible way (because they have never been overweight). That does not make them over-sensitive. That's an odd frame of thinking that just because someone doesn't find something humorous they must be over-sensitive. But, I guess that just must mean that some people are over-dense when it comes to understanding people and differences in opinion. It just doesn't make me laugh to make fun of people's weight. It just doesn't. I don't find it funny. It's not offensive, it's annoying.

    On a side note, Hitler mustaches are a real fashion faux pas, and can be funny.

    delta....yes....the images you've posted are def funny.
    (where's the one with the kid saying "you mean to tell me you have so much clean water you sh|t in it?!...that's a good one too)
    and due to some of the comments, now the whole thread is wildly amusing.

    well done friend!! :)

    so this isnt funny?

    Yes that's some funny ****. It is funny because it visually shows that the same action (Gaining 5 pounds) can have drastically different emotional responses based on the individuals goals. The woman crying is not funny, the malnourished child is not funny, the humor is in the tag line being applied to obtain both reactions.

    I really don't think it's necessary to either be Jewish or be friends with or married to or whatever a Jew in order to make fun of Hitler.

    And, again, it is OK to make fun of and laugh at Hitler. Really.

    It's not OK to laugh about 12 million people perishing horribly due to his genocidal tendencies. But it's OK to make fun of the man himself. Really. Trust me on this.

    But it's not making fun of Hitler; it's making fun of an overweight guy on a bus.

    I know. But more than one person in here has said "Hitler isn't funny" and that we shouldn't make fun of him. And someone else said she's allowed to make fun of him because she has a Jewish best friend.

    That's what I was going to say. It's really not the same thing.

    Also, would people be so upset for the sake of the guy in the photo if it was a parody of something that generally doesn't offend? Probably not nearly as much.

    I'm not offended but I barely smiled at it.
    So... Devils advocate.
    If it was a person falling from the Twin Towers + an obese person = A fat superman.... would that be funny??
    I'm just curious if the people who say others are too sensitive have a soft spot somewhere in them....

    Well, I gotta say, I'm not a creative person, so I'm not good at creating "jokes" on the fly, but I could totally handle stupid as long as it wasn't offensive.

    I don't really care but why is it hard to understand that, 1. That guy was doing his thing, could be a super nice guy, and is now all over the internet compared to a murderer of over 6 million people. So there's that. Then 2. even though it is not pro-hitler, some people don't want to mix humor with 6 million deaths and an almost genocide of a race. Like I said, it's whatev, but I'm sure you can understand how it offends some people.



    This.

    I'm also surprised that given this is a weight loss site, we are laughing at a fat person. For all we know he is a member here trying to better himself.

    So? Laughing at fat people is off limits or something? I find it funny because it's like the 2012 version of Adolf Hitler.

    People are way too sensitive.

    I bet if it was making fun of skinny people they would come out in droves to attack...

    Well, it's not a joke, there is no humor to it at all so bad example. There might be like, some al-Qaeda folk who think it's funny, but I even doubt that.

    I think what you're saying is that it's not your definition of a joke and it does not fit under what you would consider to be humor... is that correct? And that was my point in it's entirety. Not everyone thinks the same things are funny, and yes some people are more sensitive to others on certain matters. But thank goodness I'm not a comedian cause I do suck at writing jokes...

    I don't think that would be anyone definition of a joke.
