      It has either been overlooked or the mods see it for what it is: A little bit of daft humor.

      This is humor. The other was blatant partisan blather.

      AND, btw, would have been just as funny years ago with a pic of the USS GW.

      If the other were an overt case of copyright infringement, there could have been a point to the thread. But it wasn't - the artist didn't like it, and THAT was the story.

      A good story would have been someone on either side railing against the fact that most artists have absolutely no control over their music after they've signed a record deal.

          Call it what you want but bravo had me wiping Pepsi off my monitor not once but TWICE.

          I don't care which side of the fence I stand on, good political satire is funny no matter who it's pointed at and if that had been an elephant in that boat I would love laughed just as hard.

            ... and then to delete my thread about artists telling pols to cease because most of the pols being told to stop happen to be GOPers is most interesting.
            But you didn't "report" the same incident happening a couple weeks ago to the Dems, did you? Of course not because it doesn't serve your agenda. It was clearly political and you know the rules.

            Just stop already. You will never change anyone's mind by arguing political agenda...it just gets nasty and it's not going to be allowed here for that reason.

            A funny image of either side, with no commentary attached, can be a chuckle - unless you are so agenda-oriented that any humor must be accompanied by rhetoric or partisan comments.

            Lighten up.

              TL,



              You're inches away from a month-long vacation.

              Bravo posted something that was purely funny. A parody that would have worked just as well with an elephant. And he didn't inject the kind of partisan rhetoric and venom you often bring to these discussions before they end up being nuked.

              There are a great many places online where you can discuss partisan politics to your heart's content. This ain't one of them.

              Go away and let the grown-ups have some harmless fun.

          TL was whining about having a thread deleted because it was obviously political, and trying to convince people that his motives were pure in starting the other thread

          I found the picture funny too. It would have been just as funny with a caricature of GW in a boat with an oliphant.

      You ask me, there isn't enough humor in politics. Or, I suppose, depending on the way you view politics, it's all comedy

    [Mod note: Knock it off, please, Steve. That was pretty clearly political.]

    You're right, but I thought it was pretty restrained as well, and less specifically political than the long list that TL put forth. However, two wrongs don't make a right.

    And in fairness to me, I hadn't seen your exchange with TL as I took a long time writing that response
