Hey there LoR -
I've got a funny story for you.
In my down time, I took up the reigns of running a Facebook page called Watch Out Guys, We're Dealing With a Badass over Here! (aka Badass for the sake of discussion).
On the page I spend a fair amount of time of just posting funny pictures and shit with my friend. We get several thousand likes on our better pics. But enough about how fucking amazing I am and onto the main point.
Not too long ago, I posted a hysterical joke equating the Quran to Weed. In the fallout shitstorm, I received 6 Death Threats in my page's message box (it's cool - Facebook pages are anonymous to the people posting on them).
Now, I'm not bothered by the death threats more than I am the fact that there are people who will, upon any other occasion, enjoy my policy on the page of Everyone has the right to be laughed at. Nobody has the right to be offended - I make jokes about anything under the sun, from racism to sexism, and so on and so forth.
But when I make a joke about the Quran I'm suddenly getting death threats? Woah.
I don't give a fuck about the Death Threats more than the reinforcement that there are people that are bright enough to use the intertubes (meaning that they are in a 1st world country - minimum) but be offended enough to make death threats over a joke that's not even meant to be offensive to the Quran more than it is a pothead joke.
I'm putting Islam back on my rotation of jokes (I chilled for a bit so I didn't get my page banned via reporting to Facebook). But I just wanted to share my story with you guys for a bit.
And while I'm here - anyone got any relatively funny pics regarding Muhammad/Islam/Quran? I need some more material - shit is hard to find for some reason. >.>
