Now I know what you're all saying. "Oh god! Not another long-winded, wordy post by that bunksteve asshole!" Yeah! Well fuck you! Some people enjoy long-winded, wordy things. Some of us aren't ashamed of the fact that we excelled past a third-grade reading level and enjoy weighty tomes of humorous anecdotes and embarrassing masturbation stories.
But that's not what this post is about. I thought that we should examine something that Eluid bases it's entire history on: The effectiveness of the "Offensive Joke".
Many people would think it is dumb to risk alienating potential readership. And to those people, I would pull out my nut sac and beat them with it until they went away. Frankly, the best thing about offensive humor is that it's a great way of weeding out those who have no sense of humor. Or, namely, those who are unable to see humor in everything. Those people who think the only kind of effective jokes begin with "Yo momma..." or "Knock, knock!"
In reality, true humorists see themselves as being capable to turn anything into a part of their witty repertoire. No subject is too taboo: Rape, incest, incestuous rape, and kittens who say cute things like, "I'z used for medikal testings?!"
So at the risk of tooting my own horn (Which, with my protruding gut, is nearly impossible), I would like to salute Eluid for it's steadfast dedication to weeding out the intellectually inferior and uninhibitedly humorless... or as I like to call them... Right-wing Christian nutfucks.
If you ever read something on this site that offends you, you have two simple choices: You can use the comment section below to voice your complaint. That's another great thing about Eluid: that it (Like most websites nowadays) gives the readership a chance to share their opinions with the people who run the site. Those opinions are noted and then duly ignored. Sometimes they are openly mocked. Sometimes we find a picture of the person who posted those comments and paste their faces onto gay porn. It's not out of spite, though. It just makes us giggle.
Your other choice is to frequent other websites with less offensive material. Probably something with cute animated GIFs and large font and monosyllabic words. You know... something for the retarded. Not to say that there's anything wrong with the retarded. Sometimes I even wish I was retarded (And to beat the commenters to the punch, I am not retarded; I just drink heavily). When you think about it, retards live great lives. No responsibilities, not a care in the world. Plus... everything is pretty to them. Except for Wolfmen and rape.
I'm sorry... I completely forgot what I was talking about.
