Lol, if it has to be explained to you, you wouldn't understand that either. 
It's rather laughable that you're trying to patronize my within a topic you've posted called 'that "dot" on her forehead". If there was any attempt at some postmodern irony in that joke, it was subtle enough not to make bill hicks worry about losing any posthumous business. It just came across like lazy racial stereotyping - vaguely and pointlessly offensive, and not funny. 
Sweetie, it wasn't stereotyping, it was about stereotyping. Like I said, if it has to be explained to you, you won't understand it anyway. And you continue to prove that.

Really? How about it being a couple of members who are just being assholes about a simple joke? I'll expect you to be this "observant" when more serious topics have a similar "discussion". Or is this a more "personal" comment? (Moderators shall strive to be impartial) 
Well, apparently it isn't a simple joke. Apparently it's a very socially-aware comment about racial and cultural stereotyping! (Although, since you just keep telling me how stupid I am, rather than just explaining your crappy joke so you don't look like a big ol' racist, I'll have to assume you don't have one at all, and that it was a joke making fun of indian people.) You can look down your nose at me and bemoan me for "just not getting it, sweetie!" but to everyone else you're coming across as ever so slightly racist, and also very very very unfunny. I feel that out of those two, I emerge rosiest. edited to add another "very". Post edited at 5:05 pm on July 2, 2009 by Fauna

And do you really think that "party in my pants" and "ska ninja" were "lulz"ing because the joke was such a deliciously nuanced take on cultural stereotyping, clearly and accurately lampooning its flaws? No. They read it, thought "LOL! DOT!" and then left those brilliant verbose retorts you've handily quoted. Five people found a shitty joke funny, that doesn't make it any less shitty and unfunny.
