The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Saw this on Twitter:
"Sad that Conan comics have to be censored/changed/redesigned due to some people being offended. If you're offended don't buy it or read it."

No. The comics don't "have to be censored/changed/redesigned." There is no law or regulation requiring the publisher to do this. The only people who are driving these changes are the "offended" people you mentioned, doing exactly what you suggested they should do.

ie: If they have to be changed, that sounds like most of the audience prefers them to be changed.

This anti-Ginger hate is getting out of hand.

Where's the thread about things we didn't say in this thread?

On a related note, there was a guy I used to know from the Rocky Horror scene whose day job was being a cop. He was a major perv, so I occasionally referred to him as "Officer Inappropriately Friendly"...

Umbran is a mod and therefore "The Man," and therefore by definition "not cool."

True. But, in all honesty, my lack of coolness predates the existence of EN World. Heck, it predates the existence of websites at all.

Thought for today...


At one time, on broadcast TV, there was a show called ... BJ and the Bear.


No, it wasn't about that. And yes, you're welcome.

But it is the reference for this band name:

Minus the Bear - Wikipedia

Yes, it’s this thread.

Ooohhh. But it looks like you already figured it out.

Yes, it’s this thread.

So if we want to not talk about something in this thread, we talk about it in this thread.

I ... wait ... so everything we are saying here is actually what we aren't saying ... and ...

um ....

Better General Public than the alternatives - Private Shame, Major Scerwup, or Captain O'Industry.

Hey, they were pretty good!
