Wouldn't this be classified as "flame bait"?

I laughed that my "good mates" at FOX rated a mention on the first poster

A joke is only a joke, if it is laughed at. It becomes an insult when it is taken as such.

Many a thing I have said as jest here at IW has incurred the wrath of some people and so the Joke was not a "joke" but insult and whined about incessantly in some cases.

Personally I think the comic is an insult to anyone who actually backs the administration...and the idea of it being satire does not excuse it from being insulting and can still be considered flame bait.

I will however note that if you look very very closely at my first post in this thread...you will notice a tiny thing at the end of the line....it looks remarkably like this ---> ?

The ? is called a question mark and indicates an interogative....not a declarative statement.

Edit: On the other hand, I didn't call for the removal of the thread did I? Nor did I demand an apology or anything else...I just asked a question is all.

I agree with you MagiK (!). You're totally right. I laughed at, it must a joke then.
