I am getting them, too.  They seemed very adamant that I need to see some videos of Britney getting effed.  I think Pat Robertson might be behind it...

2 I'm not. Although I was just followed by Karl Rove.

Wow.  That's creepy that he'd follow you like that.

4 Wow, more McAwesome than I thought!

5 Yes, I am in an elite group of .... 54,286 people. On a related note, apparently mister Of Spades is hot. I would never have guessed.

6 It's unsettling that you're that good and still that young...*totters off to eat pudding.*

7 Crossed wires?  Vinty gets offers of Britney-pr0n, I'm got a follower with a gay matchmaking service.

I think that's one of the signs of the apocalypse.  It's in the Biiiible!

Wait, you're in your 20s?

Maybe we're not doomed.

I thought humor was beaten out of whichever letter generation we're up to now. (have we gone past "Z" and back around to "A" yet ?)

I am (barely) in my 20's, yes.  I'm not sure what generation I'm in... probably Y (why?) but many of my peers are humorless, Obamabots.

Well, humorless unless you are making rape jokes about 14 year old girls.  That's HILARIOUS.

I work with a guy who was about mid-20s or so when hired. He seemed cool so I tried to be friends with him.

We were talking about movies when I mentioned that Blazing Saddles is one of the top-5 funniest movies of all time (My top-5 movie list has like 10 or so movies). I let him borrow it.

He returned it the next day because

"That word (that word!!!!!!) is funny once or twice for shock value, but he overused it."

He couldn't watch the movie because they used the N------- word(gasp!). He's Pavlov's tool, all stimulus/response with no critical thinking skills.

I said that he totally missed the point, he refused to watch it again and is probably still sure I'm a racist.

I have a similar story in which someone argued to me at great length that American History X was an extremely racist movie.  As in your example, they watched one of the most anti-racist movies of all time and got the exact opposite out of it. 

Amazing. It appears that people are taught NOTHING of logic or critical thinking in schools anymore (I learned none of my skill in school but in life and following my own pursuits). 

People are prepared for college in high school and that preparation is for a college that teaches you to be socially responsible, not valuable to society.  If that continues we're headed for a very sour period in our history.  Luckily for me, I'm one of the valuable ones so I'll be on the receiving end of the good parts, I figure.
